Hard-Body Yoga Time Change
 Beginning Monday, May 4, Hard-Body Yoga will be held at 5:45 p.m. (instead of 5:30 p.m.). Hard-Body Yoga is unlike your typical yoga class. The class combines strength training with yoga technique to create a strong physique in a one-hour class.

All you need is your body, an open mind and a yoga mat, and you will discover what strong healthy bodies are made of! No reservations are necessary. For more information, contact Rick Schneider at 314-539-4434. |
