Leigh Ferrara's Donation Class

I'm teaching a gentle, meditative movement class next Sunday (12.13) via Instagram. All funds raised for this class will go directly to support Swords to Plowshares. Each $1 we raise up to $5K(!) will be matched, so your donation is worth double. See below for details on how to join for class.

Swords to Plowshares is a Bay Area nonprofit supporting homeless, low-income, and at-risk veterans. They offer employment and job training, supportive housing programs, permanent housing placement, counseling and case management, and legal services. 

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, they've been able to house more than 200 homeless veterans in emergency housing across San Francisco and Oakland.

To support:

Class description:

This is a gentle, meditative movement class, which combines breathing, subtle movement, and gentle stretching to unwind contraction and create more physical and emotional ease. We barely leave the floor, making it an accessible practice for many.
