Event Flow

1:00 PM — Arrival & Settling In

Led by Ting Pimentel‑Elger, a trauma-informed yoga teacher, this 45-minute movement session will be gentle, grounding, and accessible to all bodies. The focus is on helping participants arrive in their bodies, release tension, and feel supported rather than pushed.
