Big Hair, Big Heart: Dolly Parton Day at Jaya

We’ve got a lot happening at Jaya this Friday. There’s yoga, Pilates, Dolly-inspired food and drinks, and a photo booth with enough sparkle to make you reach for the pink cowboy hat.

It’s Dolly Parton Day on 9/25, it’s Fourth Friday in Clarks Summit, and we’re making an evening of it.

At 5 PM, we’ll gather for an all-levels donation yoga class benefiting Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and a chance to move, breathe, and support a cause that puts books in children’s hands. I think Dolly would definitely approve.

At 6 PM, Brandi is back at Jaya for a free Mat Pilates pop-up. Maximum Zen is staying open late with Dolly-inspired food and drinks, too.

And yes, the photo booth is ready: balloons, butterflies, a sparkly backdrop, and a whole collection of signs. You can go with “Big Hair, Big Heart,” declare “I Came for Dolly,” or pledge your undying love to savasana. I’m hoping those signs get passed around a lot. 🦋

What I love about evenings like this is what happens around the classes. Someone brings a friend. You run into a person you haven’t seen in a while. You stay for a bite, take a silly photo, and suddenly Friday feels like a little more than the end of the workweek.

So celebrate “9 to 5” by arriving at 5, or come when you can. Move, laugh, do a little good, and spend some of your Fourth Friday with us.

Big hair is encouraged, but definitely not required. 😊
