Workshops & Special Events
We know it can be difficult to find a regular time to get to your mat. As we often find “more important” things to do, we put our self care, and our own peace of mind, lower in our priorities. Workshops at PCY can help alleviate that.
Special topics, extended length, in-depth practice, Peaceful Chaos Yoga Workshops provide you an opportunity to set everything else aside and make a date with yourself.
All workshops require advance registration up to 24 hours in advance. In the event a workshop is cancelled, your payment will be refunded.
