Members of the UO community are welcome to attend introductory practices without obligation. Fridays are best if you can make it. Please bring a water bottle, wear clothes you can exercise in, and take you shoes off before stepping onto the mat / practice space. Masks are optional.

Typical practice contents of regular practices:

Half hour:
• Stretching
