YDC Community Flow is a weekly adult vinyasa yoga class designed to support physical wellness, mental clarity, and meaningful connection.
Beginning September 1, this ongoing Tuesday evening class invites adults of all experience levels to explore movement, breath, and mindfulness in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Each 75-minute session is thoughtfully structured to guide participants through grounding, mobility, a dynamic vinyasa flow, and restorative rest, helping to build strength, flexibility, and balance while also providing tools for stress reduction and overall well-being.
Led by a certified yoga instructor, classes are adaptable and accessible, with modifications and variations offered to support both beginners and more experienced practitioners. Yoga mats and blocks are provided to ensure a seamless experience, but we welcome to bring your own if that’s your preference. The cost is donation based. $5-$10/class is suggested, but we encourage each community member to give what they can. Your donation will help us continue to provide free and low-cost programs to our fellow community members.
Beyond the physical benefits, YDC Community Flow is designed to create space for connection. As the YDC continues to expand its programming, this class offers an opportunity for adults to engage with the YDC in a new way, fostering a sense of belonging and positioning the YDC as a hub for holistic wellness and lifelong learning in the Winchester community.

The YDC is excited to welcome young artists back for our Fall Art Series, a free program designed to inspire creativity, confidence, and imagination in children ages 6–12.
Led by Allee Coffman, Lead Art Teacher and Shenandoah University student, this eight-week series will introduce participants to the exciting world of abstract art. Unlike traditional art classes, abstract art encourages children to think beyond rules and expectations. It gives them the freedom to explore, experiment, make creative choices, and express themselves without worrying about creating the “perfect” piece. Along the way, they’ll build confidence, strengthen problem-solving skills, and discover that creativity looks different for everyone.
Classes will be held Saturdays from 10:00–11:00 AM, beginning September 12, at the YDC.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, this program is completely free for participating families. Registration is required, and space is limited, so we encourage families to reserve their child’s spot early.
Come create, imagine, and discover the joy of making art in a fun, welcoming environment!
