Hello Friends!
It has been brought to our attention that our purple flier currently lists the Geometric Movement Method class as being listed as 9pm. This is incorrect, we meant to write 9AM!!! Please join us in Thursday Morning at 9AM for Geometric Movement Method !!

We will get that updated soon and post a new flier, but until that time, please note that class is in the morning on Thursday for Geometric Movement Method.
Additionally, here is the class description for Geometric Movement Method for those interested in dropping in:

GEOMETRIC MOVEMENT METHOD™

Geometric Movement Method is a strength, mobility, & flexibility training class that utilizes weights, bands, and methods derived from yoga, Pilates, & dance to help each individual achieve their all around fitness goals.

We also wanted to note that we host Geometric Movement Method on Mondays at 10:30am as well, yet we will be closer this upcoming Monday September 7 for Labor Day, so please come back and see us Thursday this week and next for Geometric Movement Method at 9am on Thursday, and ongoing Mondays at 10:30AM and Thursdays 9AM throughout the year!
We currently have 3, 9am classes weekly, Monday: Yoga, Thursday: Geometric Movement Method and Friday: Yoga Pilates Fusion all at 9am, along with many other classes at various times weekly!

All our other classes are listed at the proper times on the purple sheet, and we will have an updated schedule posted soon, with Thursdays morning time listed correctly.
Thank you for bringing this listing mistake to our attention and we will look more closely next time!
Lots of love and let's flow soon!
