Weekly Schedule 9/5/2022 — September is Here
NEXT WEEK -- 9/12/2022 -- IS CLASS DONATION WEEK. Sign up now to be sure your class fee is donated.
With the intention of gathering strength for the new generation of the Black community, our donation class recipient organization for 2022 is 3rd 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. That's next week, September 12, 2022. We also encourage you to make your own donation directly if you are able.
Week 130 - Happy Labor Day! We are back in the studio this week feeling ready and excited to see you all on Tuesday, 9/6/2022. Not sure if your session is back on a usual? Reply to this email or text the office at 415-599-3223 to confirm.
September traditionally brings a feeling of change and freshness. Whether you have children in school or not, our lives are affected by Back-to-School sales, increased traffic morning and afternoon, and more activity throughout the city in late-August/ early-September. Urbanites have gotten farther from agrarian rhythms, but with Napa and Sonoma Valleys so near, I think the energy of grape harvest season still influences our tendencies to clean up and reset our agendas for the remainder of the year.
Vacations have disrupted our usual workout routines. Chances are, you have a handful of exercises you "take with you" when we're not working together in-studio or online that help with body maintenance. Fall is the time to get back to the studio for a full "tune-up" and refocus on your goals to roll into the Holiday Season.
I know. I can't believe I mentioned the holidays either, but we know they're coming. No cause for alarm -- we'll all get back to it together.
Please be prepared to provide updated proof of vaccination when visiting the studio. Here's a useful link to have on hand when you've forgotten your paper vaccination card:
https://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov/
Remember that bivalent boosters are available to those who are eligible, and we encourage you to stay current on your vaccinations to help keep our community healthy.
We are continuing to wear masks fully covering the nose and mouth while in the Movement For Everyone studio. Our window does not open, our space is very intimate, and we're prioritizing hands-on work during in-person sessions. Online sessions are available for those who are unable to mask for 50-minutes. Thank you for your cooperation.
Here's what's on the schedule this week:
