CrossFit... yoga?

We are happy to announce the addition of a Yoga for CrossFit class to our schedule this week! Expert Yoga instructor Christina Chiesa will bring her skills to BRIO every Sunday at 11am for a glorious class of deep stretching and mobility addressing all the areas of tightness that typically limit performance in the CrossFit athlete. We are providing this class at no extra charge (although it counts as a class for 2x and 3x/week members), so please take advantage of this opportunity. As always, we keep doing the things that you guys keep showing up for!

Also on the schedule this week are 7am classes, starting Wednesday, and continuing every Mon/Wed/Fri as long as people are showing up. We will get out of bed if you do :-)
