Instructor Kara Dillow guides participants during the first “Movement in the Garden” class held in the Swannanoa Community Garden.

Friends and Neighbors of Swannanoa (FANS) and Happy Body of Black Mountain are pleased to offer the community a series of outdoor mind/body classes through the month of June. The one-hour classes take place in the beautiful and relaxing setting of the Swannanoa Community Garden, and are designed to be gentle and nourishing to any age group or physical ability. Please dress comfortably and bring a water bottle and a blanket, towel or mat. A $5 minimum donation is suggested, but not required. All donations will help support the Swannanoa Community Garden, which provides fresh produce to our neighbors in need and offers educational gardening programs to children and youth.

Schedule of Remaining Classes:

Thursday, June 30, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.
