Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. This chair yoga class is open to all levels, and beginners are welcome.

  • A $20 donation is suggested and will be collected at the event rather than through Yoga Among Friends. 100% of donations benefit Veterans Yoga Project.

  • The flyer says the class is open to all, which suggests the event is not limited to veterans. I’d still confirm that wording with Nadine before publishing this particular FAQ.
