Weekly Schedule 5/16/2022 — Here We Are Again
LAST WEEK WAS DONATION WEEK!
We raised $308 for this local San Francisco organization helping SF youth ages 12-24 years old. Your attendance, as well as studio growth, is bumping this number UP!
If you missed signing up for class to have your class fee donated, head directly to the 3rd Street Youth donation url to make your own contribution:

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: https://3rdstyouth.org
We donate 100% of class fees from classes attended the second full week of every month to the annual organization. We also encourage you to make your own donation directly if you are able.
Week 114 - Each week I look forward to sharing an innocuous, entertaining tidbit related to GYROTONIC® or Pilates exercise. Or to celebrate the glorious performances of our DTC/SF students this weekend. Or in celebrating Asian American & Pacific Island Heritage Month here in San Francisco for the month of May.
But here we are again. Just when we thought we'd had enough violence and loss, we have been barraged with more extremely violent acts. Just when we thought that this time, things were going to go differently. Ongoing violence against Black, Latinx, Asian, Jewish, Muslim, LGBTQI+, and Women continues despite having the light of day shone on the existence of bigoted people with racist ideology. The bleaching, sterilizing properties of daylight haven't yet been a match to the filth and pestilence of rotten souls continuing to leak poisonous ideas into our society.
Please continue to be shocked and outraged when you read the news. Harness your anger. Wrestle it. Mould it. Use the energizing effects of adrenaline and put it to work. There is still lots to do. Our work on our physical flexibility, strength, and self-care translates into greater mental flexibility, adaptability, and perseverance in the face of the difficult social changes we need to make.
Here's what's on the schedule this week:
