HIIT stands for High Intense Interval Training. Each class will consist of a demonstration, warm-up, and 10-12 stations where we will focus on a specific body group per station. We will rotate through 3 rounds with a short break between each round. When the work out is over we cool down and stretch.

All equipment will be provided. These HIITs will be outside, please plan accordingly and bring your own water.

Art classes for adults and youth continue at the Durango Arts Center in comic book creation, stained glass, adult portrait painting, figure drawing, pottery and more. Details and registration are at durangoarts.org.

These FREE classes offer a safe and supportive environment for anyone exploring how to navigate addictive tendencies, those who are "sober curious," or individuals in recovery from addiction. We aim to enhance overall well-being and quality of life, regardless of where you are on your journey.

During these classes, you will be offered:

Compassionate discussion on the deeper causes and patterns of addictive habits.
Gentle, body-centered movement, breathwork, and meditation practices to support self-regulation and inner peace.
Practical tools to be used in everyday life that will empower you on your path of healing and self-discovery.
Classes are open to anyone seeking to address their addictive habits or explore a sober-curious lifestyle, whether you are relatively new to the paths of yoga and recovery, or have extensive experience in both.
