SUMMARY:Women of Beth El Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Take a break from your Pesach prep\, unload some of your chametz\, and join Women of Beth El for a relaxing\, slow flow yoga class on Sunday\, March 29 at 11:00 am. Class will be held at Beth El in the Zahler Social Hall. Please bring a mat and any props you like to use for yoga\, although the class will not require props.
