I've never meditated or done yoga before, should I attend?

What is the cost?
This class is offered on a sliding scale. Suggested donation is $20. If you are in between jobs or don't make a living wage, we want to make yoga and mediation accessible to everyone which is why there is a sliding scale which means pay what you can.
Are the classes family friendly?
The yoga and meditation are geared towards adults. If your child can follow an adult class, they are most welcome to participate. Children who can play quietly near you are also welcome to come along. We want to make this class open to parents and ask that you keep in mind other adults are attending for a relaxing experience.
What if it rains or the class is cancelled for another circumstance?
If it rains, we will try to reschedule. If the date or availability of students doesn't work out, you will be refunded due to rain cancellations.
How will I know if class is cancelled?
The registration form requests your email and/or phone number to receive a text or email. Announcements will also be posted on the Awareness of Mind website. A minimum number of 5 registrants are needed for the class to be held. If you register and not enough people register for the class, you will be fully refunded your donated class fee.
Can I cancel and get a refund?
No refunds will be issued. Any donations received for a class and the person does not show, the donation will be sent to support a yoga program at the Grace Nanana School in Kenya.
If the class is cancelled due to weather or lack of participants, you will receive a refund.
