There
is a sign on the right side of the building that says 122 and Blacksmith Shop.
If you are coming from Silas Creek Parkway North, turn right onto Reynolda and
you will have to come to the Main Entrance into the Village and turn left at By
Way Street. Then take a left and come down the main little street of the Village
and turn left again as if you are headed out of the Village. The building would
then be the last building on the right, directly next to the
exit. Classes begin promptly, so please be on time. The first 15 minutes
will be spent stretching and warming up. For class you will need comfortable
exercise clothing such as yoga pants and crop/bra top or even shorts
and tee shirts are fine, and a hip scarf or sash with fringe,
tassels or better yet, coins (to accentuate your hip movements). A variety of
hip scarves are available ranging in cost. Student zils are $12.00
per set. (All items plus NC sales tax). Bare feet are recommended, although soft
ballet slippers are fine.
