Free Outdoor Community Yoga Class at LEAF in Niles

Have you ever wanted to take a yoga class but weren’t sure it was for you? Why not come try a free class or two, or five?

Between Saturday, February 22nd, and March 22nd, 2025, the LEAF Center in Niles offers free weekly vinyasa flow yoga classes for all levels.
The first class will start on Saturday, February 22nd, at 1:00 p.m. and last 1.5 hours. In the first 15 minutes, we will discuss safety and general yoga etiquette, followed by one hour of vinyasa flow, and the last 15 minutes will be for questions.

The class is free; however, we welcome monetary donations of any amount to LEAF at this link or on-site. If you can’t donate, please don’t let that stop you from showing up. We thank you for your presence and willingness to try the class and hope it leads to something positive for you and the people around you. For those who can donate, thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Please sign and bring the liability waiver to class.

We look forward to seeing you there, and Namaste.
