Women's Social Club (DiRTYOGA)
Inspired by the meaning of yoga - "to bring together" - Women's Social Club presented by DiRTYOGA gathers to celebrate women! As a women owned and operated small business, the goal of the grassroots organization is to bring women together to highlight work of outstanding women in the community while creating a welcoming space.
Each Women's Social Club is built around a theme and group discussion. Local women from the community are invited to share and to build upon the theme in an open dialogue. The DiRTYOGA co-founders - Dana Arbel and Ashley Banks - help facilitate the conversation, engaging all who attend to share their voices. Each intimate gathering highlights a unique women-owned space, features women musicians and artists, and includes delicious food and drinks to further enhance the communal experience.
DiRTYOGA provides community programming focused on integrating health and the arts. Founded in 2012 to bring yoga classes to parks, farmers markets, community gardens, local businesses, nonprofits and schools, DiRTYOGA is committed to introducing elements of body awareness, mindfulness, and artistic expression to those who feel excluded from the traditional yoga studio setting.
