📣 Don't forget Thursday's chair classes! In Fit, you work on muscles; in Yoga, you work on stretching.

🎨 We’ve created a new home for Art & Unwind! ✨
To help keep the Big Stone Commons and Moon and Back Art Studios pages from getting overloaded with weekly session posts, we’ve started a dedicated Art & Unwind Facebook group!

Inside the group you’ll find:
🖌 Weekly attendance/check-ins
🎨 Supply & project updates
📸 Session photos
💡 Creative inspiration
❤️ A supportive place to share your artwork (if you’d like!)

Whether you’re a longtime creator, complete beginner, or someone who just needs a creative outlet and good company — you belong here, whether you've attended yet or not.

Our hope is that this becomes more than just a group about sessions… we want it to grow into a genuine creative community where people feel comfortable experimenting, learning, relaxing, and sharing their work without pressure or perfection.

Join the group here: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1ECy2dt6JS/

We’d love to create with you. 💙
