Dear Educators and Parents,

I am putting together a community poetry project for kids. Adults can play along too.

For several years, I have run an annual poetry writing project. For one month, participants receive a daily writing prompt related to a theme. (In 2014 we wrote in response to Pantone paint colors; in 2019 the theme was Food). The goal is to write and share a newly drafted poem with the group every day. It’s a way of practicing writing with others.

Dance & Bmore classes featuring elders in our Forever Fit & Fun Club! These classes is for those 65 and older to get down and groove with music, movement, and games you can follow along at home!

Beginning March 23rd, our online schedule will reflect the live streaming options so that you can practice from home. Thank you for your support of your teachers and Baltimore Yoga Village at this time. We are pleased to serve you in this way.
