with Kendall Tetsworth & Mackenzie Rae
Thursday | November 27
9:30 - 10:45 a.m.
Location: Granary Ave Studio
Investment: Free to register — donations & non-perishable food items accepted at the door
Love everyone, feed everyone! Gather with us for our annual Thanksgiving morning practice to open your heart, deepen your sense of gratitude, and give back to our local community. This 75-minute grounding Hatha flow led by Kendall, with hands-on assists provided by Mackenzie, is open to all levels and dedicated to support the Bellingham Food Bank. All proceeds will directly benefit BFB, a 501(c)3 Non-Profit committed to reducing hunger by creating access to high quality food and other essentials. As the busiest food bank in the state of Washington, they provide nutritious food to over 5,000 low-income households in Whatcom County per week through their free grocery program, drive through, and home delivery services, with a significant portion of their funding efforts coming from community donations and partnerships.
Donations will be collected at the door in the form of cash and venmo (preferred), or credit card.
