Women's Circle & Ashtanga Yoga with Lea Marie Perfetti

We are excited to announce that Lea Marie Perfetti, Astrologer & Yoga Teacher & Women’s Health Facilitator, will be returning to Hair•Color•Art for Ashtanga Yoga and a Women's Circle this fall. The yoga classes are open to EVERYONE, and the women's gathering is open to all who identify as a woman.

Lea will offer Ashtanga yoga classes throughout the weekend and will lead a Women’s Circle, on Saturday, October 26 where she will discuss honestly women and spirituality, especially in the yoga community.
