We know the recent election results have left many of us feeling uncertain about the future. During times like these, it’s important we turn to our community for comfort and encouragement to keep moving forward. That’s why we’re excited to collaborate with Patagonia to participate in their Post-Election Yoga Reset Series. Come hang with the GPE girlies at @PatagoniaATL on the BeltLine for a healing yoga flow with Tamara from @practicefreedomproject + #sagecollective, tea from @justaddhoney 🍵, and community with @refugeenetwork. 🧘🏽‍♀️
See you Wednesday, Nov. 20th 7-9PM!
