Join Tony for this special one-night cooking workshop! Ropa vieja is a classic Caribbean dish of shredded beef stewed in a flavorful tomato-based sauce with peppers, onions, and spices, traditionally made with flank steak or chuck roast that is slow-cooked until tender. The name means "old clothes" in Spanish, referring to the shredded meat's appearance. It's typically served with white rice, black beans, and other vegetables. Special Note: The instructor will provide the shredded beef already cooked, while students will prepare the side dishes together in class. The instructor will go over how students can make the shredded beef at home. Please bring containers to take food home with you! *There is a $25 ingredients fee, payable to the instructor at class.

Beginner mat classes are for people who have never tried Pilates before, those who’ve had a substantial break from the practice, and for many of us whose bodies might have their fair share of quirks yet don’t require individual postural correction. With a focus on the breath and flow, Pilates exercises relieve stress and soothe aches and pains. With all the hunching, sitting, and planning we tend to do, the cues and corrections of each class will increase your postural and muscular awareness, both during class and the minute you step out of class. ***Please bring your own mat.
