Wellness Day: Gratitude & Healing Edition - “Flowers For First Responders”

Looking for the Ultimate Saturday Reset?
Join us for a soul-soothing Saturday morning as we begin the healing process after the wildfires that impacted Los Angeles earlier this year. This special session brings the community together to honor our LAFD first responders, featuring a peaceful yoga practice, calming meditation, a community healing circle, all from the Black Women's Yoga Collective, and a hands-on floral gratitude session with Postal Petals®. Together, we will create personalized flower arrangements and write heartfelt "Thank You" notes to the first responders who bravely fought to save our city.

🌸 Yoga starts promptly at 10:00am and 1pm, with a 30-minute all-levels vinyasa flow led by Mel Douglas, BWYC Founder.

🌸 We will transition into the floral gratitude session, where each participant will write a heartfelt "Thank You" note and create a flower arrangement to gift to LAFD first responders as a token of our appreciation and a symbol of our collective healing.
