Possible Outdoor Class Slots

Weather permitting, I may open up a limited number of outdoor class slots during the week of the event. These would be optional opportunities and filled on a first-come, first-served basis. More information will be provided closer to the event date if outdoor space becomes available.

​

What You Need to Know

• Classes will take place inside Lincoln Arena on a 40x40 turf field in a sectioned-off area on the same field where our vendors will be located.

• Please be mindful of this setup, as your class type may or may not be suitable for this environment (for example: formats requiring a completely quiet space may not fit well).

• Instructors are responsible for choosing a class format that works for this field size and environment.

• One outlet will be provided. Any additional audio or equipment needs are the instructor’s responsibility.

• Music/microphone use is allowed, but must be kept at a respectful volume to accommodate nearby vendors and attendees.

• Instructors must bring any mats, props, weights, steps, or equipment needed for their class.

• You choose your class format — high-energy, low-impact, dance, stretch, strength, HIIT, step, etc.

• Your class may be paid or free — completely up to you.

• There is no fee to host a class at the Self-Care Expo.

• Instructors are responsible for their own advertising and sign-ups (Eventbrite, website, Google Form, etc.).

• We will share any links or flyers you provide on the Expo page.

​​

Liability & Safety

• Instructors are responsible for ensuring their class is safe and appropriate for all fitness levels attending.

• We are not responsible for any injuries, incidents, or accidents that may occur during your class.

​

Scheduling & Setup

• Your scheduled one-hour time slot includes setup and cleanup.

• Please arrive 15–20 minutes before your class time to prepare and ensure a smooth flow.

Why Join Us?

Because wellness looks different for everyone — and adding movement options makes the Expo even more powerful. Your class might be the moment someone decides to truly show up for themselves.

​

Please note: Because we aim to offer a variety of movement styles throughout the day, not all class submissions will be accepted. We want attendees to experience a mix — not four yoga classes, four HIIT classes, or multiple sessions of the same format. Our goal is to curate a diverse lineup that showcases different approaches to self-care through movement.

​

Classes will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis, but each category will have limited spots. If a category has already been filled, your class may not be approved even if your submission meets all requirements.
