Wind River wants to bring you into the kitchen with Cheryl for an interactive cooking experience.  We have two classes, each with two time options to fit your schedule.  Come for Vegan Burger Night, Mediterranean Pasta Night, or BOTH.  And while we cannot let you sample the goodies, we are guaranteed to have lots of giggle and fun together!

Vegan Burger Night:

Thursday, June 4th or Friday, June 5th

Mediterranean Pasta

And it is optional to cook along with Cheryl in your kitchen, or watch, listen and learn.  Everyone can ask questions along the way!    Upon signing up, Cheryl will email you the shopping list if you opt to cook together.

We are excited to have just completed and published several short Tai Chi videos to support the Latina community.  Offered by our Tai Chi instructor Mike Gentile and translated by our friend at Levine Cancer Institute, Magbis Love, we have two short routines and one general explanation.

"Sometimes plans change. It happens.  The retreat I was so eager to attend this week (at Wind River) was rightfully postponed.  But don't you know those angels (at Wind River) delivered treats so that I could #createmyownretreat this weekend!   
I am so thankful!"   -  a future Wind River retreat participant!

​
We are so thankful to our team of Wind river angels include Lori, Sarah, and Danielle, woodsman Dan (candle maker),  the many mask makers including Alumni Susan and her daughter Alexis, the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority sisters at Drexel University, and Patterson Farm!
 
Together, 50 doorbells were greeted with a smile (behind a mask of course) and a decorative bag of goodies including local strawberries from Moorseville, sweet encouragement cards from a team of sorority sisters, handmade protective face masks and much more!

Tuesday 10:45 class ONLINE. This class is accessible to EVERYONE, regardless of your physical condition or experience level. 


It is surprisingly EASY to participate in my live online class! You can join on a computer or smartphone.

As we are all very aware there is a tremendous amount of anxiety and uncertainty that we are all dealing with. If your income is limited right now, your health is more important to us than worrying about the cost of a class…so please still join in! For those who can afford, we have a suggested donation of $5 for the class in hopes to keep the studio up and running during this time. We are set up to receive donations on Venmo, Zelle, and Carrier Pigeon. Just use cyyoga@gmail.com (notice there are 2 “y”s) for payment. Or you could still send through regular mail to:

Please text or call or email me if you need any help getting to the online class, I’d be glad to walk you through it.  Let’s stay active, relax, and reconnect!
