Yesterday officially marked off the halfway point for 30 Ways, and what an event we had! Our wonderful yoga teacher from Proof Fitness, Susan Hanna, generously provided a free yoga class to benefit the Lexington Humane Society on the patio of Ethereal Brewing last night. The $5 class directly went back to The LHS and 10% of Ethereal's sales for the day also went back to the cause.
The first time an event like this was held at Ethereal, we had to do a little bit of shuffling around--it was almost just a few degrees too chilly for yoga on the patio. In the end, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful sunshine and found our zen outside.
Unfortunately, the Humane Society was not able to bring pups out as planned to the event due to the times not matching up with our posing, so the Bishops and I provided our furry friends for support. My little one, Reese, was clearly helping out with her own version of down-dog on strangers' mats. Such a shy one, she is.
With a little bit of wind blowing our tree pose branches around a bit, we had a wonderful class with a very successful turnout!
Thank you to everyone who came out! It was a success, and we will be planning another event or two soon!
And, of course, a huge thank you to the Bishop family for letting us use their space and for the contributions to the LHS, and to Susan Hanna for taking an evening out of her crazy busy week to practice some yoga!
