Every Now and Zen... we wear TEAL! 🩵

Slow down, settle in, and show your support. Join us on April 7th for a gentle, restorative yoga class as we observe Teal Day.

This class is designed to help you unwind and re-align your nervous system through supportive poses and calming breath. No experience (or flexibility!) is required—just an open heart and maybe a splash of teal.

All proceeds go towards sexual assault survivors in our community.

✨ Rest Assured: This is a safe space for healing and regulation.

Why teal?

Teal is the official color of Sexual Assault Awareness. It represents healing, strength, and solidarity with survivors.

Teal is more than a color -- it's a movement.
A movement to break the silence, support survivors, and create change.

Wearing teal is a simple yet powerful way to raise awareness about sexual violence and serves as a visible way to say:
You are not alone. We see you. We support you. We believe you. 💙

Move with intention. Give with heart. 💙

This April, we are turning awareness into action. In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, four of our local studios are uniting for a special "Mind Body Connection" fundraiser series to benefit Open Arms Advocacy Center. Healing is a journey that can begin with reclaiming our own strength through connection and movement.

Every week, a different studio will host a donation-based class designed to foster peace, resilience, and community support. All proceeds go directly to Open Arms Advocacy Center, ensuring we can continue providing 24/7 advocacy, free counseling, and lifesaving services for survivors across the Concho Valley.

How to Join:
🗓️ Dates: April 7th, 14th, 24th, & 27th (See "Check Availability" for times & locations)
📍 Rotating Studios: Lionheart Yoga & Fitness, Mandala Den, Good Movement - University, and Ballet San Angelo
🎟️ Admission: Ticketed by Donation (Suggested donation of $20 per class)
