Description

The startup or small business lifestyle can be rewarding, but it can also take a mental toll. As you grow your business, you need to prioritize time for yourself. One practice that can help you reconnect to your inner self, improve your mindfulness, and realize your full potential is Yoga. Join us on Thursday, October 6, at 6 PM, for a Yoga class specifically for entrepreneurs! Justin Forzano, Founder & CEO of Open Field, will lead this free session. The Yoga class will be the Original 26 & 2 Hot Yoga series (without the heat). Justin will lead attendees through each posture once and talk about the benefits of the practice and its connection to his entrepreneurial journey. Attendees should wear comfortable clothing, drink plenty of water the day before, and avoid eating a big meal (or drinking a lot of coffee) 2-3 hours before the class. Some postures are done on the floor, with compression on the belly, so we want to avoid any discomfort. Otherwise, attendees can come prepared to breathe and engage in a moving meditation. All should feel welcome to attend, no matter your skill level or familiarity with the practice of Yoga. Please bring a mat, towel, or blanket. Juice and healthy snacks will be served following the class.
