Weekly Schedule 1/31/2022 — Celebrating Black Lives Year Round
Week 99 - Taking the month of February to raise up Black voices, and make continued efforts to ensure those voices are heard at least the same volume throughout the year, if not more. With the intention of gathering strength for the new generation of the Black community, our donation class recipient organization for 2022 is Third Street Youth Center and Clinic. Please read more about this clinic and the variety of programs they offer San Francisco youth between 12-24 years old:

This is our second year focusing financial contributions toward a local health-focused organization. The idea being that even though our contributions may be relatively small now, donating consistently starts to make more of an impact. We donate 100% of class fees from classes attended the second week of every month to the annual organization. We also encourage you to make your own donation directly if you are able.
GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower Group is now a DROP-IN CLASS!
Join this early-bird group and still get home in-time for that first meeting of the week. More information and sign-up link in the class schedule below.
HEALTH AND SAFETY UPDATE:
According to a Thursday SF Chronicle article by Catherine Ho, starting February 1 San Francisco is lifting "indoor mask requirements for “stable cohorts,” which are groups of 100 or fewer people where the population is recurrent and everyone is vaccinated [and boosted]." We share our space with Dance Training Center San Francisco, and, as an SF Gate article by Amy Graff elaborated, "[c]hildren in schools, transitional kindergarten through 12th grade, are required to continue wearing masks indoors."
We are continuing to mask indoors both in solidarity with our young students, and for our collective continued health.
Here's what's on the schedule this week:
7:00am PST - Monday, 1/31/2022

9:30am PST - Tuesday, 2/1/2022:
ONLINE Pilates Mat (Mixed Level)
In February's class format we are finally getting to the wall. We're putting our feet on the wall, so wear clean socks to keep your wall clean. Keep the long foam roller (36" long), light hand weights, and a resistance band available. Our focus is varying the planes of motion for the body and mind for better balance. Video available if you can't attend live.

9:30am PST - Thursday, 2/3/2022:
ONLINE Balance and Flow GYROKINESIS®
Our February focus is flowing through the seated arm-work, then getting more into legs and pelvis on the floor. Maybe even getting to lying down on our fronts... Remember, there are always options available if you're just not feeling the floor. Have your stool/ chair, two bath towels (blankets, etc.), and some wall space free.
Focusing on the ability of the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® to increase circulation, mobilize and strengthen joints, and increase proprioceptive awareness, this Zoom class prepares the body for more confidence in standing balance work. Video available if you can't attend live.

Looking forward to seeing you online and in-person this week! Until then, breathe deeply, stay socially distant, healthy and sane.
Warmly,
Harriet
