Join Wendy and Bobbi Jo for a grounding blend of movement, creativity, and intention. Begin with a gentle yoga flow led by Wendy, offering space to slow down, move, and connect with the body. Then, Bobbi Jo will guide you in creating a boho-inspired mini nature intention wall hanging using gathered branches, natural elements, yarn, twine, and wooden beads. Add a personal intention to your creation and take home a meaningful piece inspired by nature. No yoga or crafting experience is needed. All materials will be provided.
