DJ: CUTTaRUGG
CUTTaRUGG shares his love of the classics from many nations and generations. The funkiest remixes of your favorite hits ensure the dance floor gets hot and sweaty. Any and all genres may arise during this electronically enhanced audible adventure. Even below average boxers and cowards find themselves stylish when the CUTT grooves rumble the Funktion-One subs. Strip down to your bare feet, add a big smile and let’s journey together through the “new oldies” while we dance ourselves silly.

Yoga: David Schlussel
David Schlussel is a yoga teacher, life coach, and father. David experiences yoga as the practice of reconnecting with our wholeness. When we operate from our wholeness, we experience the incredible strength and flexibility that is our potential. David coaches his students from fixed ideas about what they can and can’t do, towards life as a playful exploration of possibility.
David began his exploration of yoga with Ashtanga, where he learned the benefit of regular consistent practice. He continued his training by studying Dynamic Yoga, where he discovered the deeper strengths available through activating along the muscular and energetic pathways of the body, and where he developed his passion for yoga philosophy. He is currently inspired by Anusara Yoga, which has infused his practice and teaching with an empowering understanding of alignment, therapeutics, and fun.
David’s classes are a flowing celebration of our bodies, designed to exercise, educate, integrate, delight, challenge and recharge. He is known for his warm approachability, contagious curiosity, gentle and liberating hands on adjustments, facilitating healing of old injuries, and offering concepts that support his students both on the mat and in their daily life.
