Since 2009, Abbey has been hosting a Thanksgiving morning yoga class at YCSC from 9:00-10:30. The class is donation-based benefiting a non-profit or cause in Santa Cruz county. This year I would like nothing more than to continue this tradition and I hope you will join me. The beneficiary this year will be a new coalition called The Welcoming Network. The Welcoming Network is composed of a group of volunteers dedicated to helping asylum seekers and other refugees in the Santa Cruz community. In order to keep everyone safe, the yoga class will be taught on zoom. If you already are a student at Yoga Center Santa Cruz (YCSC) and would like to come in person, please contact me at aasher@ucsc.edu. I am allowing my students to attend as well as other YCSC students if there is sufficient space. Vaccines and masks are required.
