Join Lori Grable for a Beginning Yoga class! This class is open to anyone who is interested in trying out yoga for the first time or wants a refresher yoga class after a layoff. Come with comfortable clothes, a yoga mat and water bottle. New students can arrive at 10:15.

Instructor Bio: Lori began her yoga journey in 2000 as a student at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center. She was drawn to the practice because it helped her to reconnect with her most authentic self while making her stronger and more open, physically and mentally. Her passion for yoga grew stronger as she traveled around the United States during the summer of 2003, practicing at many studios along the way. After settling in Pittsburgh, PA, she completed her teacher training and began teaching in 2006.

Today, Lori is an E-RYT 500 and teaches Vinyasa-based classes. She is influenced by the philosophy and alignment principles of Anusara Yoga. As a triathlete, Lori has an interest in yoga for athletes and has taught many workshops on the topic. She has a passion for the outdoors and has taught yoga in parks, vineyards, and backyards. Lori appreciates the healing and restorative qualities of yoga and has also worked with students who are recovering from illness, rehabilitating injuries, pregnant, or elderly.

What does it mean to truly see the world through a biblical lens?

We are excited to offer Introduction to a Biblical Worldview, a three-session course designed for ages 16+ and taught by Jenna Hays and Amirah David, hosts of The School of Life Podcast.

This thoughtful course invites students to explore how Scripture shapes the way we understand truth, worldview, Jesus, anthropology, God, science, society, vocation, calling, family, work, community, and faith.

More than simply learning information, this course is an opportunity to develop the ability to think deeply, live faithfully, and bring every area of life under the Lordship of Christ.
