Santosha's Spring Swap!
Westboro: Sunday May 4
3-4:30pm Swap!
4:30-5:30pm Free Yoga Flow Class
7-8pm Musical Kirtan

Ah, Sweet Spring - the air is softer, and the days are longer. It's a time of awakening, new growth and endless possibilities. Spring is also a great time to do an inner cleanse or an outer cleaning. So if you feel the urge to open the windows and clean out your closets, then mark down Sunday May 4 for Santosha Westboro's swap!
Bring your good quality clothing whether hippy, funky, mod or preppy - hey, everything comes back into style eventually! You can also bring along books, CD's, jewelry or any other good stuff that still has life left in it. This is a wonderful way we can all reduce and reuse. Any leftover items will be taken to the Salvation Army.
After refreshments and some socializing, we'll be offering a free 1 hour yoga flow class with music. And that evening we'll be holding an hour long musical Kirtan and medtiation.

Bring your friends. Everyone is welcome!

Cost: FREE! see you there!
