Yoga for the Non-Yogi
Join us for an all-levels, super accessible mindful movement session. We will focus on breath, posture and movement. This is not your traditional yoga class, and it’s not held at a yoga studio. So…if you’d like to move your body, keep it in tip top shape for your adventures, join us at the Firehouse on Sunday mornings!
You’ll be lead by Lindsey, a 500hr certified yoga teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience. Lindsey’s specialty is alignment-based movement geared towards active humans…whether you’re a hiker, biker, paddler, down-hiller or a snow sporter, this class is perfect for keeping your body happy and healthy out there!
We will meet at the Firehouse at 10am for an introductory chat/breathwork, followed by a movement class with time for questions/workshopping certain things after if you have questions. You can expect a super chill experience that is designed for the non-yogi!
After class enjoy the optional/complimentary mimosa as we celebrate a great, active start to the New Year!
Mats are limited so please bring your own or email us ahead of time to reserve one free of charge.

With the success of that release, she opened for such bands as Yes, Poco, and the J Geils Band. A prolific artist in the contemporary singer-songwriter arena, Tret Fure has released 17 albums and CDs over the course of her 51 year career.

Dance for people with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological disorders starts up again this fall.
After a three-year break, Dance for PD and other neuro disorders returns to our community. Classes will run for nine weeks on Mondays from 1:00-2:00 from October 24th – December 19th. No experience is necessary, and all are welcome. The class is designed for people with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological disorders, but caregivers are invited to join in. The goal of this class is to create community and experience joy through movement. Class structure follows that of a traditional modern dance class including warm-up, center and barre work, and culminates in a final combination. Much of class is seated work with a portion towards the end geared towards standing. Students are invited and expected to adjust as needed.
Pam Kuntz and Rick Hermann (a community member with PD) created this class over 10 years ago and it enjoyed much success over the years. Kuntz is excited to bring it back to our community this year.
Thanks to the generous support from the Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation this class is free for attendees. Individuals with the means are invited to make a donation to Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation to help them support programs such as these.
This fall session includes a flamenco class taught by Oscar Nieto, a professional Flamenco artist and person with Parkinson’s Disease on October 31st. Oscar is one of Canada’s most recognized and respected flamenco artists. A master dancer, singer, choreographer, and teacher, he has a long list of accomplishments and awards on his résumé. He has been performing and teaching since he was a teenager. Now a cancer survivor in his seventies, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a couple of years ago. Despite this, Nieto has no thoughts of retiring or altering his artistic practice. In fact, his diagnosis has only served to strengthen his resolve to continue dancing, singing, and teaching. It can be frustrating – his body doesn’t always do what he wants it to do anymore – but he firmly believes that his dancing career and his social, active lifestyle have helped to delay the progress of this (as yet) incurable disease. This is why he is reaching out to help other people living with Parkinson’s.
Winter and spring sessions are scheduled for Mondays as well so be sure to watch for announcements on those dates and times. To receive email notifications about this class series contact Pam Kuntz at 360-510-4711 or email her at kuntzpam@gmail.com.
Class will be held at the Firehouse Arts and Events Center in Fairhaven at 1314 Harris Avenue. Attendees should arrive at least 15 minutes early. No pre-registration is necessary. Feel free to contact Pam Kuntz at 360-510-4711 or kuntzpam@gmail.com with any questions.

Dance for people with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological disorders starts up again this fall.
After a three-year break, Dance for PD and other neuro disorders returns to our community. Classes will run for nine weeks on Mondays from 1:00-2:00 from October 24th – December 19th. No experience is necessary, and all are welcome. The class is designed for people with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological disorders, but caregivers are invited to join in. The goal of this class is to create community and experience joy through movement. Class structure follows that of a traditional modern dance class including warm-up, center and barre work, and culminates in a final combination. Much of class is seated work with a portion towards the end geared towards standing. Students are invited and expected to adjust as needed.
Pam Kuntz and Rick Hermann (a community member with PD) created this class over 10 years ago and it enjoyed much success over the years. Kuntz is excited to bring it back to our community this year.
Thanks to the generous support from the Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation this class is free for attendees. Individuals with the means are invited to make a donation to Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation to help them support programs such as these.
This fall session includes a flamenco class taught by Oscar Nieto, a professional Flamenco artist and person with Parkinson’s Disease on October 31st. Oscar is one of Canada’s most recognized and respected flamenco artists. A master dancer, singer, choreographer, and teacher, he has a long list of accomplishments and awards on his résumé. He has been performing and teaching since he was a teenager. Now a cancer survivor in his seventies, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a couple of years ago. Despite this, Nieto has no thoughts of retiring or altering his artistic practice. In fact, his diagnosis has only served to strengthen his resolve to continue dancing, singing, and teaching. It can be frustrating – his body doesn’t always do what he wants it to do anymore – but he firmly believes that his dancing career and his social, active lifestyle have helped to delay the progress of this (as yet) incurable disease. This is why he is reaching out to help other people living with Parkinson’s.
Winter and spring sessions are scheduled for Mondays as well so be sure to watch for announcements on those dates and times. To receive email notifications about this class series contact Pam Kuntz at 360-510-4711 or email her at kuntzpam@gmail.com.

AN ACOUSTIC EVENING WITH THE REVEREND SHAWN AMOS McIntyre Hall Presents Friday, March 3 7:30pm
Tickets: Reserved Seating $30 – $40 CYO Subscription, Student and Senior Discounts COVID-19: Masks are encouraged but not required at this time.
Blues and roots singer, The Reverend Shawn Amos, is an exhilarating entertainer whose performances are filled with the foot-stomping, call-and-response energy of 1960s’ Chicago blues shows. The son of music agent-turned entrepreneur, Wally “Famous” Amos and R&B nightclub singer, Shirlee May, Amos was raised in 1970s Los Angeles watching musical legends like Marvin Gaye and Quincy Jones at work. Amos began releasing a series of semi-autobiographical albums in the 1990s. Exploring, chronicling, and preserving black American music led him to the American blues songbook and a commitment to keeping this great American art form alive.
Just as he has on stages throughout the world, The Rev leaves a lot on the floor: the breath into the bullet microphone, the laughter, the fret buzz, the defiant foot stomp – everything reverberating in a spirit-filled space, offering soul sustenance as only a well-crafted song can. Joining The Rev on stage are Christopher Thomas (bass) and Doctor Roberts (guitar).
