Upcoming Special Events

Yoga Under the Stars

Join us for a relaxing beginner-friendly yoga session beneath a stunning night sky in the planetarium. Flow through gentle poses and mindful breathing as constellations twinkle above you.

Additionally, join us after yoga for the healing vibrations of the gong to rejuvenate all levels of mind, body and spirit and release energy through your physical, mental, and emotional bodies. Enveloped in the transformational sounds of two 40-inch gongs on either side, allow the wave of gentle vibrations to wash away anything that no longer serves you, expand your awareness and elevate your being to divine frequency.
