Spotted Dog Yoga is amazing. This is where I have spent the second most amount of time in the last 10 years, I WFH :).
Come Feb 1st, 2026, it would be 10 years since I have started practicing at SDY. I still vividly remember my first class @5:45 AM, when Maribel handed me a yoga block, Katie taught that class, and Nick walked up to me and talked to me. All the teachers at SDY are amazing, and the community and the vibe is awesome.

My mantra is Rinse and Repeat, literally and figuratively and SDY makes it easy with lot of class options throughout the day. I love the PowerFlow classes. The Restorative classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings are great to unwind.

My kids have been going to SDY for the last 9 years and they LOVE it. Me and my wife believe YOGA is the best tool we can give our kids. There is always an adults Yoga class at the time when there is kids class, it makes it easy for me to practice in the next room and pick up the kids after the class.

Guys, who have experienced SDY, and have not visited this place is sometime, I would encourage you guys to come back. For the newcomers, there are promotions currently to try out SDY.

SDY consistently makes it to my Gratitude Journal. Thank you for all the teachers and the community.

Spotted Dog is SERIOUSLY something special ❤️🐾
I’ve been practicing here for almost 5 years, and every step of the journey has been amazing. The community is incredibly welcoming, the teachers are inspiring, and the heated room creates the perfect space to challenge yourself, release stress, and grow stronger in both body and mind. Every class leaves me feeling grounded, energized, and connected. I have gained something from every class I have taken and there is always something I needed that day. If you’re looking for a yoga studio that feels like home Spotted Dog Yoga is 🐾 PAW-fect 💪🤘❤️

Hailey Smith is a exceptional yoga instructor! She brings such calm, positive energy to class while staying actively engaged. She's always spotting poses, offering adjustments, and encouraging you to go deeper in your practice. Her patience and attentiveness make you feel supported every step of the way.

What really sets Hailey apart are the spiritual touches she adds - especially during savasana, where she offers a warm touch or a soothing temple rub with aromatherapy lotion. It’s the perfect, grounding end to each session. I always leave her classes feeling stronger, more centered, and completely renewed.

I attended two Sunday classes as a visitor to Folsom. I like the Baptiste-style of yoga and found the studio on the Baptiste website studio locator.

The studio is a very clean, impressive space. Well stocked locker rooms with showers, changing space, branded apparel and rental items are all available.

Studio was true to Baptiste form, both instructors were excellent. I had nothing negative about my whole experience. Great product.

I started the Awaken teacher training program in August. I have learned so much in a short period of time from this comprehensive course. The teachers are attentive and you get to learn hands on! Nick and Katie are true masters of what they do and how they deliver the information to the learner. Whether you want to take your own practice to the next level or become a teacher, I highly recommend Spotted Dog Yoga!

My wife and I have been going to Spotted Dog regularly since May, 2023. I would highly recommend Spotted Dog Yoga & SUP to anyone interested in beginning or extending their yoga practice. All of the teachers are great and very friendly. The studio is clean and provides an ideal environment for connecting within while shielding from all the distractions of the outside world. The benefits of practicing yoga on a regular basis are too many to list. What sets Spotted Dog apart from most other yoga studios is the sense of community they have created led by the owners Nick and Katie Clark.

Super welcoming staff & coaches. Great place for beginners!

After speaking on the Play Hard, Love Big podcast, Nick invited me to come try out Spotted Dog yoga. While I had never practiced yoga before, the instructors made it easy to fit right in. I felt engaged and encouraged throughout each Power class, despite being so new to it. I felt like I was able to quickly learn because of the synergy of the group (fellow yogis and coaches) as a whole!

Now that I'm done with professional running, my plan is to continue coming to the Spotted Dog studio for the yoga...and for the nice people who go there!

I joined Spotted Dog Yoga four months ago and am absolutely loving it! The studio, instructors and fellow yogis are all welcoming, and I’ve been getting stronger and more flexible with every class.

There are other studios closer to my home and work but, I happily drive out of my way to go to yoga at this studio! The studio is clean, well-maintained, and includes showers. Classes are taught in the Baptiste style which is hot and well- rounded. Teachers offer ample opportunities to challenge oneself but, they are also forgiving and patient, reminding you to listen to your own body and do what is best for you on that day.
Plus, the owners love dogs! ;)

Spotted Dog yoga is a warm and embracing community. I just started coming in April with no real yoga background. I love how the practice is always challenging and the teachers are so encouraging. They also offer Stand up paddleboard in summer. Nick the owner, makes yoga on water fun. I would recommend this studio whole heartedly.

Spotted Dog Yoga goes beyond just teaching yoga poses. Their AWAKEN training delves into a deeper connection, fostering purposeful individual and communal connections. Through intentional mindset, physical practice, breathwork, and meditation, the AWAKEN program elevates its holistic value. Completing this program was one of the best decisions I made for myself, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone, no matter their yoga experience. At Spotted Dog Yoga, they truly care about nurturing the entirety of who you are.

The team at Spotted Dog Yoga & SUP have done a wonderful job of creating an energetically contagious atmosphere around a practice, that at times, can feel intimidating. Not a long time ago I was lucky enough to have taken my very first yoga class at Spotted Dog and I immediately loved it. Since that first class I have visited a number of other practices in a number of formats, however it is the culture and community that exists at Spotted Dog Yoga & SUP that continues to bring me back. I don't know a better studio to be a part of.

Not to mention, it’s great to meet and connect with more people in your community! Take the jump and sign up 😊

I just finished the AWAKEN teacher training 200 hour course a few days ago. It was a great experience that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Beyond becoming certified to teach yoga, I learned valuable life lessons that have made me a better person today. Spotted Dog owners Katie and Nick lead the training with great insight and an obvious passion for yoga. I highly recommend this training whether you’re interested in teaching yoga or wanting to improve yourself and your yoga practice. 5 stars!

I have been practicing yoga for several years, and had contemplated completing a yoga teacher training program for a while. In July 2023, I found Spotted Dog Yoga by happenstance and discovered that the 200-hour AWAKEN yoga teacher training program was scheduled to start in about a week. Fast forward six months, and I have now completed the 200-hour AWAKEN yoga teacher training program and I am so happy that I did. The AWAKEN program is an incredibly empowering experience, which lends itself to so many opportunities to learn more about yourself, acknowledge and accept where you are, and create a tangible plan to help you set goals and reach them. The AWAKEN program is led by the owners of the yoga studio, Nick and Katie Clark, who are kind, funny, easygoing, helpful, and very knowledgeable. Throughout the program, you will meet and practice in person, and complete assignments like watching videos created by Nick and Katie, reading Baron Baptiste’s book “Being of Power,” journaling, and practice teaching. There is also an ability to attend the program remotely if you can’t make it to a session in person for some reason – pretty awesome. Not only did I learn about Baptiste yoga and how to teach it from the AWAKEN program, I also developed tools and skills that will allow me to communicate with intention and confidence, which I believe will benefit me in a myriad of settings. I highly recommend Spotted Dog Yoga and the AWAKEN program.

Spotted Dog Yoga is my second home. You have a lovely community that motivates you to try harder each and every single time and keep showing up. I have been doing yoga here since 2016, and I have always walked out feeling energized and happier than when I first entered. One of my favorite things about the studio is that all the teachers greet you and create a sense of belongingness before you even step into the yoga room. This studio is beyond incredible! I did the AWAKEN teacher training a year ago and I was able to really improve my yoga practice and apply what I have learned at the center in real life. I used to have a huge fear of public speaking, and now I don't even get nervous speaking in front of people. Thank you Nick and Katie for the wonderful community and guidance you have gave me!

Spotted Dog is more than a yoga studio, it is a community and a family! I have been apart of this community since March, and was instantly welcomed with open arms by all of the teachers and other members. They also provide a program known as AWAKEN which has been such an amazing and powerful experience to be apart of, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. I can't say enough good things about Spotted Dog!

I absolutely LOVE Spotted Dog Yoga, I am addicted! Right when you walk in the door you feel welcome and a strong sense of community. The whole studio has a wonderful positive feel to it and all of the teachers and staff are amazing and so talented! They offer a variety of different classes including heated yoga, yoga for children, meditation, prenatal yoga and even paddle board yoga! I am so thankful to have found this local yoga spot. Ever since I started taking yoga at Spotted Dog I feel a deep sense of mental clarity and calmness throughout my whole body, while getting an amazing workout. Spotted Dog Yoga has changed my life! Thank you so much for everything, I am forever grateful and highly recommend this yoga studio! I decided to participate in there 6 month long AWAKEN yoga training program and I am so glad I did! This program has changed my life in many different ways and has allowed me to gain more of an awareness to myself and my yoga practice. Nick and Katie do such an amazing job at all of their yoga trainings as they are so knowledgable and informative. I highly suggest this yoga program to anyone who is in search of something more and as a way to enrich their own life, as well as others!

Spotted Dog Yoga offers an amazing catalogue of yoga classes both in person and online that fit my crazy schedule. The teachers are informative and inspiring. Their most exciting offering in my option is their AWAKEN Yoga Training Program, which begins again on July 15th. For anyone who feels like they want to make healthy changes in their lifestyle, this is the program for you! It’s not overwhelming or too much of a commitment. AWAKEN simply provides you tools to help you slow down, learn how to breath and bring to light a whole new world of possibilities. We all get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life, but AWAKEN will help you remember to create space for yourself so you can be the best version of yourself possible! I didn’t think twice before joining because I had such a good feeling about it and I am so glad I trusted my intuition!i

I’ve started my yoga journey as a beginner yogi looking to improve my physical practice.What I’m getting is great health ( power yoga is no joke), good sleep, amazing friends and deeper sense of control in my every day life.

The AWAKEN training challenged me to become a better version of myself on the mat and outside the mat. The hands on experience of learning every pose and the flow was easy to understand and apply in practice. Least but not last, the mental benefits are enormous.

All Spotted Dog Yoga teachers are amazing and it’s great to have many daily options to practice every day (many morning and afternoon/ evening classes).

Feels great to support this small business!

Spotted Dog Yoga is awesome! The owners Nick and Katie are great people who care deeply about creating a welcoming and supportive environment for all levels of yoga practitioners. They have a variety of class times and I especially love that they offer early morning virtual classes since it works out perfectly with my schedule. The SDY teachers are amazing, as well as the community of people I have met since I started in their Awaken yoga teacher training program. It's been such a great experience being able to deepen my yoga practice and learn tools to make positive changes in my life. I'm super grateful to be a part of the SDY community!

When I first moved to El Dorado Hills, I looked for a yoga studio. I pulled up the maps app and searched for studios. Spotted Dog was in the first few results. I saw the entrance with its high energy statements of the benefits of yoga in the windows and had to check it out. I signed up for a class. At checkin I met Nick (co-owner). It’s pretty cool when you meet someone who makes you feel like you’ve always been friends.

He was the instructor that day. Heated yoga wasn’t new to me, but the sense of a shared experience was! This happened every single subsequent class. This studio is a community of all kinds who get to have an hour of shared inspiration. Come by and see for yourself!

I started taking drop-in classes remotely because I'd heard such great things about this studio and I was nervous to try yoga in a class (and because there weren't any in-person classes anywhere due to covid). I'm SO GLAD I found this place. The instructors are great and even though I'm online, I always feel like I'm part of what's going on in-studio. The owners and instructors are all about personal connections and building a community around the studio and it shows in everything they do. I've never once felt like I wasn't good enough, even though I'm new. I love that their classes have a range of experience levels in them so you can always relate to someone you see in the class but also have others whose level you can aspire to get to! Like anything, I think your connection to something is all about timing, but I'm very thankful I found Spotted Dog Yoga - so much so that I finally just bought a virtual membership so I get access to Zoom classes and their extensive library of recorded classes if I can't find an instructor-led live class that works for my timing.

Highly, highly recommend. And they offer beginner classes, which is GREAT!!!

Spotted Dog Yoga is an amazing studio! The owners Nick and Katie have created such an inclusive environment for learning and practicing yoga. Although, we are beginners their staff always make us feel comfortable. They are true leaders in our community and are committed to serving others. They have participated or initiated multiple community service projects of the years.

Spotted Dog has created some outstanding programs such as teacher training, kids yoga and SUP adventure. Nick has a background in athletics and understands the dynamic of working with teams. He always does an excellent job working with our team (Folsom Lake College Women’s Soccer ). During our team sessions Nick incorporates core strength, stability, team work and team bonding.

I highly recommend local athletes and teams to reach out for a fun and unique team session!

SUP DOG Stand Up Paddle & Yoga is an AMAZING company that will take your adventures to a whole new level!!! I have been participating in the Paddle & Yoga classes since SUP DOG open it’s doors to the outdoor fun two years ago! Nick, the owner and instructor is extremely knowledgeable, makes you feel safe, and is the reason why your belly may hurt from all the laughter!! SUP Yoga has several amazing health benefits and so does stand up paddle boarding. Combining both paddle boarding and SUP yoga has made my body so much stronger. It is a full-body workout (it works your core, legs, back, shoulders, arms). Yoga on the water calms my mind, keeps me in the present moment, and rejuvenates me!
Nick uses the best paddle-boards for this experience! HALA Boards! They are wider, very stable, sit higher up on the water and provide a comfortable platform for practicing floating yoga. If you are in Folsom, live near Folsom or are visiting the Sacramento area, you have to give SUP DOG Paddle and Yoga classes a try! You will be happy you did! I can’t wait for the season to start.
Thank you SUP Dog Stand Up Paddle & Yoga Adventures 🏄‍♀️

The sign on Spotted Dog Yoga's window, "WARNING, YOGA HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE HEALTH AND HAPPINESS" is 100% accurate!

What sets Spotted Dog Yoga apart from other local yoga studios is a uniquely welcoming, warm, and genuine community.  You'll get an amazing workout while surrounding yourself with amazing people!

I love how this yoga studio embraces all those who walk in their door, from novice to experienced, from pregnant women, to children and grandparents, from those who practice just once a week (or less) to those who practice 5 times a week (or more!), and from those who practice on Zoom to those who practice in studio.  My yoga practice has given me strength, hope, and renewal throughout the Pandemic.

One of my favorite inspirational quotes said during class is, "Yoga does not make your life better.  Yoga makes you better at life."  Thank you Spotted Dog Yoga for providing an environment that feeds minds, bodies, and spirits.

I found Spotted Dog Yoga when I was in a very difficult period of my life. I had a lot of change happening while also feeling stagnant, if that’s possible. I was invited to take a class with one of the owners (Nick) and he asked if we could have a conversation after class to get my feedback on how my experience was. I believe we talked for almost half an hour after class and I immediately felt like I was already part of the SDY family.

After my class, Nick contacted me about the 200hr Light Up Teacher Empowerment program. I was hesitant at first because of my personal schedule but with the first time all virtual format I had no excuse not to take advantage of the opportunity. To say the program changed my life would be an understatement, I can’t even begin to express how much change and growth happened in my life as a result of putting the tools I learned from the program into practice.

If you are stuck, curious about yoga, or just looking for something different in your life, I would highly recommend any class or teacher training program through SDY. The Baptiste methodology will give you structure and consistency with room to grow and challenge yourself every single time. My biggest takeaways from the program are the importance of meditation, inquiry, and practice and my biggest takeaways from the SDY studio are to meet yourself where you’re at and have fun!

I’m forever grateful for my Spotted Dog Yoga family!

I first came to SDY when they first opened and I knew it was somewhere special! Within the first week the staff knew my name and genuinely missed me when I was gone, noticing my absence and asking about life outside of yoga. This helped them build a complete picture of me and how to best push me in class. They are friendly and kind and meet you where you are at without judgement. The facility was always clean (important in yoga!) and welcoming. Love this studio!

Spotted Dog Yoga has made my 2020 a year of growth, love, and greater connection to my self and others. I signed up for the 200 Hour Light Up teacher training - their first completely virtual cohort - the week before it started. I had never done Baptiste yoga before, and the first virtual class with Katie straight up kicked my butt!

Three months later - graduating from Light Up - I had taken on several major life changes and transformed my body, mind, and spirit. Several of my closest friends, family, and colleagues have noticed how much more vibrant and grounded I am. It's been a joy to bring more into their lives as a healthier, happier Shelby.

Now that I'm well into the 300 Hour Be Bold Advanced Leadership Training, I'm getting ready to make a major step up professionally, and rebuilding the foundations of my life. Through committing to these trainings and showing up for both virtual and in person classes I'm continuing to develop the resilience and clarity I need right now; and I'm continuing to be supported and inspired by Nick, Katie, and all the amazing people I've met in the Spotted Dog community.

Thank you everyone at Spotted Dog Yoga for adapting to the times (with virtual classes always, and with outdoor classes when possible) to keep bringing this incredible yoga practice into the world!!! <3 <3 <3

I’ve been going to Spotted Dog Yoga for more than 3 years now. I love it! The facility is spacious and well kept- and due to social distancing, I love how they have given us the option to attend via Zoom. When I did attend in person, I would bring my toddlers for a kid-yoga class, and they loved it too.

What really has helped me stick with the SDY team is the friendliness of the owners and staff. They are so open and enthusiastic, and in an earnest and genuine way. Their positive vibes inspire me to keep reaching, keep stretching, and keep going.

Whether you are totally new (like I was) or a seasoned pro, I highly recommend you join Spotted Dog Yoga.

Spotted Dog Yoga is a wonderful Yoga studio. Folsom is so lucky to have a business like this. The owners and teachers genuinely care about you, and you always feel the love when you walk through the door. Advanced to newbie classes are available. The community they have created is just amazing, and you truly feel like you are a special part of what makes them so special. The studio is always spotless, there are showers, a place to change, and a large restroom. They have a ton of great apparel, and anything you would need to practice yoga. You can even rent mats and towels. The classes and workshops I have done have always been a great experience. Don’t miss their 40 Day workshops! During Covid, the Zoom classes and workshops continue to be top notch. They also offer paddle boarding and yoga paddle boarding adventures in summer. My husband and I did a SUP Dog paddle board class, and really enjoyed our time on the lake with everyone. Please support Spotted Dog Yoga, especially during these strange Covid times. Run in and grab a water bottle, a t-shirt, yoga blocks, blankets, a hat, lotion, mat, tumbler, yoga towel or gift certificate for some great classes. Sometimes they even sell paddle boards at a great price too. We all need to de-stress, and the classes really help. They have so many great gifts to choose from. Small businesses are really struggling right now. I cannot imagine Folsom without SDY! Give them a try, I know it will feel like home.

Without question this is the greatest community of positive, compassionate, and inspiring people. As an endurance athlete, I always strive for opportunities to grow not just grow physically, but mentally and emotionally... Spotted Dog does just this. All of the teachers are incredible. They challenge you at your level, build authentic relationships, and create a space for you to rise up and grow on your mat... whether new or advanced, each class gives you the opportunity to be the best version of yourself. You will always leave feeling rejuvenated and empowered and wake up as I did, excited for more, as it was the highlight of my day. We love our new home in Santa Cruz and are sad to not have this studio and these wonderful people in our backyard anymore. If you are looking for an eye-opening journey, and a network of empathic, dedicated, and passionate teachers and practicers of yoga, then you have the right space and place. Whenever a Spotted Dog family member needs a get-a-way to the coast, feel free to practice some Babtiste in our backyard. Keep up the awesome work and hope to practice together again soon.

Spotted Dog Yoga will change your life for the better. Amazing practice, amazing community! A fantastic workout and you leave feeling like a part of something bigger! After practicing at the studio for a few months, I took the leap and signed up for the 200 hour teacher training. It was a game changer for me, as it provided the tools to not only grow my practice, but also to become a more confident and present human. Grateful every day for Spotted Dog!

Spotted Dog Yoga sure place holds a special place in my heart. I made a personal declaration a few years ago to surround myself by people, places and things that bring me JOY. Spotted Dog Yoga most definitely brings me JOY and so much more! Community and everlasting friendships just to say a few.
I have completed their 200 hour Light Up teacher training, 300 hour Be Bold Leadership training , The Connect Assist program, Several 40- Days To Personal Revolution Programs (co-lead one of them), countless inspiring workshops, and I have the gift of teaching there as well. One by one these programs added depth and purpose toward my personal journey. I was seeing, hearing and feeling like never before. My yoga practice expanded and got stronger- my mind, body and spirit started to align. I went from doing yoga to living yoga! IT IS LIFE MOVING!
I encourage you to take a peek inside Spotted Dog, book a class, or even dive into an amazing program.This place is built to inspire, guide, uplift, strengthen, encourage growth and so much more! Be curious and explore the magic within Spotted Dog and more importantly within yourself.....Chose JOY.....

This studio is a Community of amazing humans. I completed Teacher Training in Feb 2020 and it was one of the best choices I have ever made. It was life changing for me. The Teacher Training Program gave me a journey into re discovering my freedom, power and vitality when I was lost and really needed a push. If you are thinking of whether or not you should do this training, you should not hesitate!!! I have been attending the SUP yoga classes for the past two years and there is no place I would rather be than on the water with my SDY friends.

A few years ago I chose to make a life change, and decided to start doing yoga. Spotted Dog Yoga was closest to my home, so I began to go in. Immediately I felt like I was a family member. The owners were some of the nicest people and made me feel totally comfortable. Not only do you do yoga in the studio, there are also paddle boarding sessions out on the lake, and snowboarding in the winter. This is an all out ADVENTURE!

Spotted Dog Yoga is a richly warm and welcoming community dedicated to the continuous development of health and wellness through the practice of yoga. In particular, the zoom teacher training class was an incredible personal learning experience. I have developed a more positive, peaceful and purposeful life through increased skill development in my practice, inquiry and reflection on how I do life and taking time to be still through meditation. I love Spotted Dog!

I have been going to the studio for close to five years. Of course not consecutive, but none of the instructors shame me. I took their 2 week beginner class where they broke down every move, was one of the best classes I have ever taken. It gave me the foundation I was missing for so many years. They offer so many programs and classes to fit almost anyones needs.
Every instructor is professional. Sometimes they will have an additional person in the room to help with corrections and if you dont want corrections they are happy to oblige. I love that they offer different level of classes and before covid I loved having the option to pre purchase a allotted amount of classes then go when it was convenient for me.
Everyone is so friendly. Be prepared for Nick to know your name right away. Great memory! Even the students around you will make an effort to introduce themselves and make you feel welcomed. i never felt snubbed like other studios.

I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone looking for a quality yoga practice.

Warning! Spotted Dog Yoga causes good health and happiness! That is just a couple reasons why I've been a member for the past 4 years and keep coming back. Not to mention the awesome community and cool studio vibes. All the teachers are fantastic in their own individual way. The owners Nick & Katie are wonderful human beings and great leaders of the Baptiste yoga practice. Just recently I enrolled in the studio's virtual 200 hour teacher training program. One of the best decisions I've ever made, its been a phenomenal experience. Not only does it bring you closer to your mat but you will discover tremendous shifts in your personal and professional life. Whether your brand new to yoga or have been practicing for years, I highly recommend checking out the program and the studio. See you at the Dog!

Spotted Dog Yoga is full of smiles, warm welcomes, laughter and love. Community in the studio is amazing but it doesn't stop there...SDY is taking it to the water with SUP, and to area schools. Wanting to share the magic of yoga I have taken 200 hour teacher training and was blown away once again. I learned about the practice and my life off the mat in ways I could never imagine.

I love this place because I like that the population is diverse in age, shapes & fitness levels. The people that come here and work here are equally welcoming. I did as much yoga as possible for about 2 years before doing the teacher training. My biggest takeaway from teacher training was empowerment. I gained strength and confidence in my yoga practice and in my professional and personal life. Aside from teaching yoga, I still do the yoga as much as possible, Spotted Dog is a special place.

Spotted Dog Yoga is a compassionate community of people who are inspired to make changes in themselves, and their world. Yoga classes serve all levels from beginners to experienced. I walked into SDY knowing little about yoga but searching for health and inspiration. Five years, hours of education, self-reflection and practice later I am a 500 hour trained yoga teacher.
Teacher Training changed me in ways I never expected. Making the commitment to a consistent practice was just the beginning of what Teacher Training gave me. What I learned in creating a physical practice: to put my attention on what I wanted to have happen, to give up what constrained me from reaching my goals, and to accept right now is all I've got, these lessons from my mat transformed my mind, as well as my heart. I became a better person on my way to becoming a yoga teacher.
Spotted Dog Yoga's community welcomes you. They see you from the first class you take and they support each step you take .

Spotted Dog Yoga has great on-line classes with thorough explanations, good demonstrations and fun dialogue. I'm an intermediate level yoga person who has taken lots of classes from a variety of instructors. I'm usually restless and ready to be done after a 1/2 hour, but these classes keep me interested, challenged and motivated. They are by far the best yoga classes I've done; both in person or on Zoom.
