LIVE MUSIC: Matt Waller

Matt's unique musical style is a result of his ability to use a looper pedal to record and layer live drum beats, bass lines, and guitar parts. With this technique, he creates rich and textured renditions of songs from various genres including classic and contemporary hip hop and R&B. This sets Matt apart from other musicians as he is able to deliver these seemingly impossible covers with just an acoustic guitar. When you attend one of his live shows, be prepared to hear a diverse range of musical styles, from reggae to pop, country to rock, and hip hop

LIVE MUSIC: Room For Improvement
Jul
12

LIVE MUSIC: Room For Improvement

Room for Improvement (RFI) formed amid the pandemic when a group of close friends gathered on Sunday afternoons in a socially distant setting to play music. Initially the group was small, and the focus was on identifying what style of music RFI would play. As restrictions eased, additional band members were added who had significant prior experience in bands such as Hedley Lamar, The Mix, Synaptic Gap, and 2.3 Children. With these additions and regular practice sessions, RFI evolved into a fun, well respected band that can rip through a set of classic rock and blues songs (and a few 80s hair band tunes thrown in for fun). RFI will never forget its humble beginnings and strives to make each show the best one yet!

Namaste Yoga with S3 Yoga

Join Kelly Jones for a fun, upbeat yoga class at Hardywood! Get ready to workout and have a good time. Then keep the fun moving with beer and pizza.  

Bring a mat. (if you don't have one, please email- 3SyogaRVA@gmail.com)

About Kelly Jones

Kelly is a Richmond native who recently moved back after living in Austin, Texas for the last decade. Kelly's yoga practice began slowly at the Midlothian YMCA in her early teens and continued through her time at VCU. After graduating she was lackadaisical about her practice until 2017 when a fire was lit through her discovery of hot power vinyasa. Yoga quickly went from once a month practice to daily practice. Yoga began to transform her life in ways she'd never imagined. It created a space for self-awareness, healing, and growth that came exactly when she needed it.
Kelly recognized what a crucial part yoga began to play in her life physically, mentally, spiritually, while also providing her with the most beautiful new community. She then knew that it set her soul on fire to spread this passion in an attempt to impact just one person the way yoga had changed her life for the good. In 2018 Kelly became a registered 200-hour hot power yoga teacher with Corepower Yoga and has consistently continued her education since through various yoga schools.

Upon returning to Richmond Kelly went on a search for the right studio to call home, trying nearly every studio she could find. From her very first class at 3S she knew she had found her home!

Kelly hopes to bring her students closer to their highest selves beginning on their mat. She encourages growth of the physical and spiritual self and practices presence through breath in her flows. She loves to incorporate her vast love for music into her classes.
