Trap Yoga — Yoga With A Twist

Organizers
Bay Fit Collective (@bayfitco)
510 Society (@510society_)
Round two of Trap Yoga — our twist on the typical yoga workout. We're starting with a 35-minute full-body workout led by @friendsthatlovefitness, followed by a 30-minute recovery yoga session led by @ryanwithaw focused on opening the hips, stretching the body, and recovering from the work you just put in. And because we're not just here to work out: @dj_rell24 on the deck slapping nothing but TRAP bangers, a Red Bull + water hydration station, and a curated community vendor market. VIP + GA ticket options available.

Vee (@beherewithvee)
A community fundraiser, mercado, and raffle to support our friend Mónika Aldarondo and her family. Mónika is a local Latina entrepreneur, owner of Areito Photography, member of Chingonas Collective, mother, wife, and friend. She has been hospitalized since May with multiple health complications, including her second liver transplant, and was newly diagnosed with Myositis leading to muscle failure. We are coming together to relieve some of the financial stress from her plate. This event is free and open to anyone who would like to donate and volunteer. We are open to items, food, entertainment, services, crafting — any type of contribution welcome. Items of all types can be donated in person or shipped. A community event at the end of Latin Heritage Month — naturally, we will make it beautiful. 🌹
