This class is an 8-week series for $100, open to all ages. No dance experience is required.
It is an excellent starting place for anyone who struggles to enjoy conventional exercise programs and is looking for fun, alternative ways to get fit, toned, and energized, or just to have fun and experience something new.
In this class, you will learn the foundational movements and techniques of belly dance. You will also learn to understand and appreciate how your body works during dance and how to isolate specific muscles and breathe through movement. Belly dance can increase confidence, relieve stress and tension, and create a time that is just for you to relax and celebrate your body and how it moves.

Come and have some fun beating on your drum, dance if you get the chance, chant if your spirit moves you. Join us for a drum circle at Yoga Central on select Fridays (6:45 to 8:00 pm), running through the winter months. These are donation-based sessions. Please bring your own drum or percussion instrument. Be creative: a plastic egg partially filled with raw lentils, rice, or beans makes a great homemade percussion instrument!
Drum circles have a rich history in all cultures of providing a meditative way to relax at the end of the day. Join us for a fun community-building drum circle.
It is helpful if you pre-register for free, and have an account with your e-mail address and phone number, then we can contact you with important details, or any changes.

Join Narada (Craig) Wise, returning after a long-time hiatus, for an intimate evening of mantra music—with a twist. Alongside traditional chants and prayers, the night will weave original songs with mantra-inflected reinterpretations inspired by Pete Townshend, Peter Gabriel, and The Beatles—music that has long felt like a personal life soundtrack: shared in community, grounding into what matters, steadying the mind, and letting hope sneak in during seasons of change and loss. Supported by Neal Frey (bass) Daniel Kennedy (percussion), Daisy Fitzpatrick (vocals) and Mike Curtis (classical guitar), this gathering is equal parts heartfelt and welcoming—whether you sing along or simply listen. Friday, February 20 at 7:00 PM at Yoga Central. Bring a friend, bring your voice (or just your listening heart), and come share in an inquiry of sound and stillness. Suggested donation: $15
