Saturday Classes at Angel’s Garden Center

9am Vinyasa Yoga with Samantha: Who doesn’t love an Angel’s yoga pop-up! Vinyasa yoga focuses on postures (asanas) that strengthen muscles, improve mobility, and focus your attention. Class moves at the pace of your breath.

10am Mat Pilates with Core Theory Pilates: A full-body mat Pilates class built around intentional movement, core strength, alignment, and control. Expect an approachable, feel-good flow designed to challenge you, connect you to your body, and leave you feeling stronger and more balanced.

11:30am KAYA Core: Explore the connection between breathing, the deep core, pelvic floor, hips, and movement. Participants will learn practical strategies and exercises they can incorporate into their yoga practice and everyday activities, along with education on pelvic floor relaxation, coordination, and strengthening.

1pm: Your Body is Weird with Chiropractor Dr. Sarah Koch : Live experiments on your own nervous system! No stretching, no lecture, no pretending your body is broken. We’ll mess with your balance, your feet, your breathing, and your brain, and you’ll walk away with zero new stretches and one new appreciation for how ridiculously adaptable your body actually is

2pm: Connect to your Feet with Dr. Martha Theirl, Q4 PT:

Your feet are your foundation—but how well are you actually using them? Join Martha Theirl, Physical Therapist, to discover simple ways to improve foot awareness, mobility, strength, and connection to the rest of your body. Come ready to move, explore, and leave with practical tools you can use every day to move better from the ground up.
