Ending September with Self-Care and Community Yoga
September 30th is National Health & Fitness Day and the last day of National Suicide Prevention Month. BRAVE Communities is hosting a FREE yoga class at the Austin History Center. Please join us as we clear our minds, end the month physically, emotionally, and mentally strong, and Build Relationships Awareness Voices and Engagement.
Please bring your own yoga mat, towel, and water bottle. RSVP required.
While this is a
free yoga class to all, we also are encouraging donations that will 100% go to
DAWA. DAWA honors, celebrates, and empowers the essential work of BIPOC community frontliners through direct financial support, and culturally relevant health-centered programming.
