GENTLE | Softening Into Support | 5–6:15 p.m. Thursdays Fewer postures, slower transitions, and no repeated chaturanga/cardio sequence create more spaciousness to sense, explore mobility, build strength, and notice the subtleties of our experience. Gentle doesn't mean no challenge. We'll still play (emphasis on play!) with engagement, balance, and progression—because nervous-system flexibility isn't about avoiding activation. Instead, we’ll explore what can soften when we know we are supported—and how much effort is actually enough for this moment. FLOW | Responsive Strength | 6:30–7:45 p.m. Thursdays Flow brings more movement, transitions, cardiovascular engagement, and progressive builds—with opportunities to explore strength, balance, more complex expressions of poses, and the option of a peak pose (or two!). But the invitation is never simply to achieve the "advanced" pose. This series, we’ll explore strength without unnecessary rigidity: Can I meet challenge, respond to what my body is telling me, and use enough effort without automatically reaching for more? Both practices will continue to include optional hands-on assists, as well as our end-of-practice ritual many of you already know: savasana with optional hands-on occipital release (with or without essential oils) and end-of-the-series hot towel ritual (now more often with our slightly shorter series!). Because letting go isn't the absence of effort. Sometimes it is discovering that we don't need more effort than this moment requires. And receiving support is part of the practice, too.

Two ways to explore the same practice: Both Gentle and Flow will share the same theme, breath practice, and physiological focus—but will explore them with different pacing and levels of activation.

And then... we come Full Circle. After five weeks of practice, our Gentle and Flow communities will have the opportunity to come together for FULL CIRCLE—a special closing experience designed not to ask us to release one more thing, but to notice what becomes available when we make a little more room. We’ll move from doing into receiving with an extended sound healing, followed by the option to stay after for reflection and optional sharing, simple snacks and drinks, conversation (think questions we haven't previously had time to explore), and time to simply... be together. A collective exhale—and an opportunity to receive what is already here.

This year marks the 35th anniversary of the Go for the Gold Rochester fundraiser supporting Brighter, Tomorrows, Inc, , a non-profit outreach to families who have been touched by childhood cancer. This year we are excited to welcome you back to Cascade Park where we will host an event that offers both in person and virtual options including a 5k and 10k run, 3k Family Walk, and also Children's Races at the Cascade Lakeside Building area on October 31st! During Covid we were so appreciative of those of you who supported us via a virtual race from across the US that we have decided to continue the virtual race and walk options! This annual event provides critical funding allowing us to support families who suddenly find themselves on a childhood cancer journey. The comfort Brighter Tomorrows’ families feel from the support, connection and friendship received is impactful and that support continues beyond the treatment journey well into the future. We sincerely appreciate the compassion, volunteer efforts and financial donations that have been given to Brighter Tomorrows and extend our heartfelt thanks to friends, families, our business colleagues, and our communities that have joined our mission. This year we have invited a Brighter Tomorrows family from years back to join us, Randy and Ree Erickson. They formed a 501(c)(3) to provide affordable apartments and support for out of town families with immuno-compromised children receiving cancer treatment or an organ transplant at Mayo Clinic Rochester. Cy's Place is named after their son Silas, an amazing little boy who battled cancer with incredible courage however he sadly lost the battle in late 2007. They have purchased a 9 acre lot in Rochester with the dream of creating apartments that will be a place of rest, comfort, and care for many families in the years ahead. You can help by donating to Brighter Tomorrows, Inc. and/or Cy's Place and by sharing this page on social media with all those you care about! And of course, if you sign up to run or walk in person or virtually all proceeds from this event go to benefit families on the childhood cancer journey served by both Brighter Tomorrows and Cy's Place! Who knows how it feels to be told "Your child has cancer?" We do. And we are here to help. Whether it's your first 5k, 10k Run or you'd prefer to walk the 3k, you can take part in supporting families on the pediatric cancer journey. Sign up today! Everyone who signs up by October 1st will receive a race shirt in your designated size at our Race Bag Pickup on October 30th. If you sign up after 10/1/26 we will do our best to accommodate your request however available shirts may be limited and cannot be guaranteed. Since our race is on Halloween, we hope our runners and walkers will come in costume, both the kids and adults! There will be prizes for top costumes as well so start planning your outfit now. If you are running or walking to support a certain Brighter Tomorrows or Cy's Place Family, please note their team’s name on your registration.

Matt left us on July 19, 2026, and his family and friends are faced with a tremendous loss in their lives. The 5K Run/Walk event on Sunday, November 1, 2026, hosted by Matt's family, is to honor Matt’s memory and celebrate the happiness he found in running with his Mile in My Shoes friends and to remember how important this group was to him.

The Wigington Pavilion at Harriet Island Regional Park will be the central location for our event. The Pavilion will be open for this gathering from 9:00am to 3:00pm with tables and seating, bottled water, and some of Matt’s favorite snacks for all who attend.

The Loppet Ski Club is designed for people who are new to cross country skiing or want to become better recreational skiers. We mainly ski on the snowmaking trails at Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis so we can have reliable snow earlier in the year. Many who join the club are skiing for the first time, are looking to ski with other people, or are simply trying to find a way to love winter in Minnesota! Others have been long-time skiers but have never had a lesson or training program. It’s also a great way to motivate yourself to ski regularly while building your skills on the snow. Regardless of motivation and experience – ALL are welcome! This year we are trying hard to make it easier to get new skiers involved in this wonderful activity. Location. All Weekday groups will meet in the Lower Stadium at Theodore Wirth Park. Saturday Open Ski Club will meet at Theo Wirth Beach, and once it snows, this group will meet at locations covered by the Minneapolis Ski Pass such as the Columbia Golf Course, Hiawatha Golf Course, the Chain of Lakes, and other parts of Theodore Wirth Park, to be announced on the Loppet Ski Club Team App. We will get on snow as soon as weather allows! Week to week adjustments will be announced on the Loppet Ski Club Team App. Financial Assistance: The Loppet provides financial assistance for those in need. To apply, please fill out this Financial Assistance form. Our staff will be in touch with you with next steps once your application has been submitted. Limitations apply, please see the application form for rules and restrictions.

GENTLE | Softening Into Support | 5–6:15 p.m. Thursdays Fewer postures, slower transitions, and no repeated chaturanga/cardio sequence create more spaciousness to sense, explore mobility, build strength, and notice the subtleties of our experience. Gentle doesn't mean no challenge. We'll still play (emphasis on play!) with engagement, balance, and progression—because nervous-system flexibility isn't about avoiding activation. Instead, we’ll explore what can soften when we know we are supported—and how much effort is actually enough for this moment. FLOW | Responsive Strength | 6:30–7:45 p.m. Thursdays Flow brings more movement, transitions, cardiovascular engagement, and progressive builds—with opportunities to explore strength, balance, more complex expressions of poses, and the option of a peak pose (or two!). But the invitation is never simply to achieve the "advanced" pose. This series, we’ll explore strength without unnecessary rigidity: Can I meet challenge, respond to what my body is telling me, and use enough effort without automatically reaching for more? Both practices will continue to include optional hands-on assists, as well as our end-of-practice ritual many of you already know: savasana with optional hands-on occipital release (with or without essential oils) and end-of-the-series hot towel ritual (now more often with our slightly shorter series!). Because letting go isn't the absence of effort. Sometimes it is discovering that we don't need more effort than this moment requires. And receiving support is part of the practice, too.

GENTLE | Softening Into Support | 5–6:15 p.m. Thursdays Fewer postures, slower transitions, and no repeated chaturanga/cardio sequence create more spaciousness to sense, explore mobility, build strength, and notice the subtleties of our experience. Gentle doesn't mean no challenge. We'll still play (emphasis on play!) with engagement, balance, and progression—because nervous-system flexibility isn't about avoiding activation. Instead, we’ll explore what can soften when we know we are supported—and how much effort is actually enough for this moment. FLOW | Responsive Strength | 6:30–7:45 p.m. Thursdays Flow brings more movement, transitions, cardiovascular engagement, and progressive builds—with opportunities to explore strength, balance, more complex expressions of poses, and the option of a peak pose (or two!). But the invitation is never simply to achieve the "advanced" pose. This series, we’ll explore strength without unnecessary rigidity: Can I meet challenge, respond to what my body is telling me, and use enough effort without automatically reaching for more? Both practices will continue to include optional hands-on assists, as well as our end-of-practice ritual many of you already know: savasana with optional hands-on occipital release (with or without essential oils) and end-of-the-series hot towel ritual (now more often with our slightly shorter series!). Because letting go isn't the absence of effort. Sometimes it is discovering that we don't need more effort than this moment requires. And receiving support is part of the practice, too.

Join Gustavus Adolphus College and the St. Peter community for The Hilltop Gustie Trot, presented by the SPM-244 Class and the Sport Management Student Org. on November 21st, starting at 8:00 a.m.!

Both events are open to the public, of all ages and abilities.
