HOW TO PRE-ORDER (Deadline: Thursday January 22nd 11:59PM)

2. Orders must be paid BEFORE the deadline on the 22nd!

If you’d like to pay cash or card in person, you must handle this transaction with Nicole prior to the deadline at the studio.

If you’d like to pay with a card on file with your Root to Rise Yoga Mindbody account, the card will be charged upon receipt of your email or DM.

We are so incredibly stoked to flow with you this Friday at our special donation-based class in support of the Women and Girls Foundation! 👯‍♀️

This organization does some amazing work in our area and our political science prof founder was especially excited about their project GirlGov 👩‍⚖️

GirlGov was created by teens for teens, giving young self-identified girls the opportunity to be more informed, engaged, and interested in pursuing politics as a future career path. Since 2009, the program has served over 1,000 young women in middle schools and high schools in Southwest Pennsylvania and continues to grow and evolve to reflect the changing needs of the time and the communities we serve 🫶

We hope you’ll join us for this fun, heated yoga class set to the tunes of some of our favorite angsty women 🎶
