The cost is $18 per session for BZBI members and $25 for community members. \nRegister now!\n \nParticipants should wear comfortable clothes and bring a mat if possible; mats at the synagogue are limited. \nThe class schedule for 2022-2023 is as follows: \nJanuary 7th \nFebruary 4th \nMarch 4th \nApril 22nd \nMay 6th \n*These classes are mask optional
