Yoga Bellaire Social Events

Yoga Bellaire has opened a new studio at 216 Portage Drive, in Bellaire, and will hold monthly Red Tent Women’s Circles from 7 to 9 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month and Community Nights from 7 to 9 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of the month.

            During Red Tents, local women meet to share their journey and grow together. As a gentle introduction to women’s sacred circles, participants are guided into a space of listening and sharing, giving and receiving, exploration and stillness to honor their womanhood. Nursing babies, girls and young women are welcome.

            On Community Nights, each month has a different theme for connecting with fellow community members. Movie nights, potlucks, cacao and conversation are just a few of the ideas, and suggestions are welcome, too. Everyone is welcome, including families, and they do not need to practice yoga to join.

For more information and to see other great Yoga Bellaire offerings, visit YogaBellaire.com/events.
