Classes will resume at our satellite location at Leaf House studio in the coming months. 

 

Orchid Tree Yoga will continue to offer programs, classes and opportunities for
Health, Healing & Growth through the

Only a short drive from the Guild. Cntr. location - Leaf House Studio
will focus on yoga, wellness 
& the health and healing of ourselves and our planet.

 

COVID has shown us that we cannot separate ourselves from nature
and how desperately we need Nature for our mental and physical well-being.
Please join me in the coming months as we grow,
inside and out,
to be a source of strength and regeneration for ourselves and our earth.
