Join us as we celebrate our freedom to flow, love, grow, heal through yoga, and attain period freedom for our generation of girls.

Event Theme: A celebration of women and young girls through a series of yoga sessions led by gifted yoga teachers.

Join us as we create a space for joy, healing, and empowerment through yoga.
