Freedom Flow “Yoga” SeriesThis six-week series will change the way you think of yoga. It will expand your knowledge of alignment, postures, meditation, and breathwork, and teach you to use them to create your own flow. You'll leave the series with the freedom to curiously explore your own inspired movement, both on and off the mat. The Freedom Flow Series is designed to take you from wherever you're at now, into love, playfulness, and creativity. Learn how to trust yourself and completely surrender into your body - LOVE your body. This juicy series is completely inspired by the practice of yoga. It's had such a huge impact on both Cassie and Tamara, and we're so excited to bring this to Kelowna. Whether you’re brand new to yoga or have been practicing for years, you’re sure to leave with a new love for your practice.

Since You Left Us – OsoyoosSet in her once-charming East Vancouver home, we encounter a peculiar relationship between Denny and her "fur-son" Jack, a very senior Jack Russell Terrier. Denny's siblings, Mike and Fanny, each carry their own baggage; and after meeting their mother, Dolly, we realize the apples have not fallen far from the tree. Mike's long-time friend, Chuck, shows up for Dolly's birthday party because.... well let's just say it's not to visit with Mike. Rounding out the family tree is Fanny's son Danno. Although we can hardly blame Danno for having run away, he really was lucky to be born into this family. Vancouver playwright, Susinn McFarlen's, Since You Left Us is definitely a comedy, farcical in parts, dark at times and touching at others; it promises to be be an entertaining evening for anyone with a family, good or bad! Buy in advance and save. $22.50 advance; $25 door; $15 students with ID. Also plays in Oliver on May 5-6. See separate listing.ComedyApr 28 - Apr 29
