    October 1, 2025

    Hosted By Inland Valley Down Syndrome Association

    Join us virtually on Wednesdays from 6-6:45pm for Zoom Yoga

     

    Our special yogis have been practicing together for nearly FIVE years! Each class focuses on gentle movement, mindfulness, balance, and stress release. Calming benefits will follow you well beyond your yoga mat.

     

    When participating at home it's important to have a safe and uncluttered space to practice in. A mat is nice but not required. This will be a gentle slower paced class, combining motion and stretching.  We encourage families to join the class together and practice on their own too.

    This free, 4-episode virtual conversation series offers a safe and welcoming space to hold conversations for and by Latine families. Explore what it means to be a parent as part of the Latine community, raising Latine children while navigating U.S. mainstream cultures, and connecting Latine cultural identities to physical and mental well-being.

    • Episode 2: Creating Partnerships that Protect the Health and Well-being of Our Communities 

      Monday, October 6 @ 3 pm ET / 12 pm PT

      Families have a robust set of needs — including health, nutrition, housing, legal support, and more. Safety net programs are an essential part of protecting and promoting the health and well-being of our young families. Yet, obtaining information about the available programs and their functions can be a barrier for the communities that need these services the most. Join us for a discussion on safety net programs, how they work, and how community wellness hubs can be used to promote healthy futures for our families.

    Hosted By Inland Valley Down Syndrome Association

    Join us virtually on Wednesdays from 6-6:45pm for Zoom Yoga

     

    Our special yogis have been practicing together for nearly FIVE years! Each class focuses on gentle movement, mindfulness, balance, and stress release. Calming benefits will follow you well beyond your yoga mat.

     

    When participating at home it's important to have a safe and uncluttered space to practice in. A mat is nice but not required. This will be a gentle slower paced class, combining motion and stretching.  We encourage families to join the class together and practice on their own too.
