🎶 Yesterday, tenor Benjamin Bernheim and pianist Carrie-Ann Matheson took us through an enchanting & joyful journey of song! Thank you for moving all of us - we can’t wait to see where your gifts take you next!

✨We dedicated Benjamin & Carrie-Ann’s recital in the memory of our beloved Vickie Carlson, who faithfully served on our Board and volunteered her time at the Patron Desk during our recitals.

Wrapping up a two-day anatomy immersion filled with a whole lotta “ah-ha” moments. Moments of growth and huge expansion of understanding of our student’s and our own bodies and practice.

Thank you @machelleleeyoga for leading this group of instructors, yoga teacher trainees, and dedicated yoga practitioners!

#ICYMI Last Friday, we felt the joy between GRAMMY winning mezzo-soprano @fleurmezzo and former BBC New Generation Artist, pianist @kunal.lahiry! Together, they closed out our 24/25 season with The Power and the Glory, as part of their U.S. recital tour spanning San Francisco @sfperformances, Massachusetts @umass @celebrityseries, and is SOLD OUT tomorrow in NYC @carnegiehall! We are so excited to follow their incredible artistic journeys in the years to come and extend a heartfelt congratulations!

⁣
🎉Cheers to the women who dare to dream, lead, and inspire - may we know them, may we raise them, may we be them. I am tagging some of my favorite women who although I may not talk to every day, who have inspired me by just being their amazing selves.⁣

My chosen family members have often been created by the fitness community. There are not many positive things in life able to bond to a friend as quickly as sweating together... And once you have friends who are into working out, it's almost impossible to avoid!

Win - win

Are you getting out of your comfort zone to make friends who will positively impact your life?
