SUMMARY:Havdalah Yoga with 2239
DESCRIPTION:oin us for a beautifully blended class of yoga and Judaism! \nJoin 2239 as we set intentions for the new year during an inspiring and relaxing yoga practice.

She loves meshing the ancient traditions of Judaism and yoga\, believing they have far more in common than most see on the surface. Her “day job” is Director of Lifelong Learning at WHC. When not practicing yoga or work\, Stephanie loves walking anywhere\, binging shows\, or accidentally spending too much time sucked into the vortex of social media (strong preference for nature/animal videos)! She lives with her husband\, a rescued mutt\, and their three kids in NW DC. \nExpect a beautifully blended class of yoga + Judaism. Can’t wait to see you there! \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: 2239 \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
