Beyond Zen Studio Hosts Bold Heart Yoga, Benefits Girls on the Run

Beyond Zen Studio is hosting Bold Heart Yoga today, March 9, a one-hour, donation-supported session running from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at 318 Toscana Boulevard in Granger. Proceeds from the class will benefit Girls on the Run Michiana.

The studio described the offering as a "one-hour, donation-supported session combining flowing vinyasa" and promotional materials expand on that form. "Bold Heart Yoga combines flowing vinyasa and held poses to build strength, flexibility, and core stability," the class description reads. The session is also "designed to honor the connection of mind, body and spirit." Organizers say the intended outcome is clear: "The goal is for students to leave with a sense of spaciousness and strength."

Organizers urged participants to secure spots ahead of time: "To reserve a spot in Saturday’s class, click here." For community members who cannot attend but want to support the charity, donations are accepted online at girlsontherunmichiana.org/donate.

The class was promoted as a fundraiser for Girls on the Run Michiana, the Granger-area branch of the youth running and social-emotional learning program. The studio listed the full street address, 318 Toscana Boulevard, for attendees seeking the class location and parking details.

Several logistical items were not specified in published materials. Neither the instructor name nor a suggested donation amount appeared in the event posting, and the promotion did not state whether all proceeds would go directly to Girls on the Run Michiana or whether a portion would cover studio costs. The event notice did not specify payment methods at the studio, registration capacity, or whether onsite registration would be permitted.

Beyond Zen Studio framed the class in movement and breath terms familiar to vinyasa students, putting strength, flexibility, and core stability at the center of the sequencing. The combination of flowing sequences and held poses signals a class suited to practitioners seeking both heat-building transitions and longer holds for alignment work.

Beyond the hour on the mat, the fundraiser creates a local tie between a Granger studio and a regional youth program: donations collected today are intended to support Girls on the Run Michiana’s work with local girls. Those who want to contribute without attending can use the organization’s online donation page at girlsontherunmichiana.org/donate.
