have been working tirelessly to pull all the elements together to create an awesome day of yoga, mindfulness, wellness, nutrition, and fun!  Our commitment to bring the community together is unfolding!

We thought it would be helpful to suggest some things you might not want to be without during your time at the Ware Center, as well as other helpful tips, so here you go:

Arrival
Your "Print at Home" tickets have valuable information regarding directions to the Ware Center, downtown Lancaster, as well as regarding parking.  Please take a good look at them.  Please also be mindful that Saturday is market day.  You can expect some traffic and parking congestion.

  • We suggest parking at the Prince Street Garage.  You can also get a discount validation from the Ware for Prince Street Garage and Hager Parking lot.

  • Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the first class you would like to take.  Doors open at 7:30 am to get you in and situated for the first classes starting at 8:00 am.
  • Tickets are available for purchase at the door until 2:30 pm.

  • Yoga mat and any props you use (blocks, straps, etc)
