This August\, our team c ame together with Coast Cannabis for a team beach cleanup at M Street Beac h in South Boston\, helping give back to one of the neighborhood’s most- loved outdoor spaces. M Street Beach is part of South Boston’s beautiful waterfront and is enjoyed by residents\, visitors\, and beachgoers throug hout the year. For our teams\, it was a great opportunity to step away fro m the dispensary and spend some time giving back to the community we’re proud to be part of. Giving Back to SouthieAs a local dispensary in Boston \, we’re proud to call South Boston home. Our connection to the neighbor hood goes beyond serving customers — we want to be an active part of the community and contribute to the places that make Boston special. This Aug ust\, the Native Sun and Coast Cannabis teams grabbed bags\, gloves\, and cleanup supplies and headed down to M Street Beach. Together\, we walked a long the shoreline and surrounding areas\, picking up litter and helping k eep the beach clean for everyone who enjoys Southie’s waterfront. For us \, community involvement is about more than one event. It’s about showin g up\, working together\, and finding meaningful ways to make a positive i mpact in the neighborhoods where we live and work. A South Boston Cannabis Community CollaborationThe cleanup was also a great opportunity for two l ocal cannabis businesses to come together outside of the dispensary.Native Sun and Coast Cannabis are both part of Massachusetts’ growing cannabis community\, but collaborations like this remind us that local cannabis bu sinesses can contribute to the broader community in many different ways. S outh Boston has a strong neighborhood identity\, and its waterfront is a m ajor part of what makes the area special. From M Street Beach to Carson Be ach and Pleasure Bay\, the South Boston shoreline provides a place for the community to gather\, relax\, and enjoy the outdoors. We were proud to sp end part of our August helping take care of it.

We break dow n movements to really understand our bodies and find connection. Mat Pilat es focuses on core strength and the rejuvenation of the body through micro movements.

It’s based on th e original exercises created by Joseph Pilates\, and can be practiced on a mat with little to no equipment. \nWhat background\, training\, and or re lationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?\nCarolina started her journey teaching in 2020. She has always been an active person participating in track\, playing soccer\, biking\, and bouldering. In 201 8 she started to take yoga classes and Pilates classes. She fell in love w ith movement once again. when the pandemic hit she did her first certifica tion for Mat Pilates\, then soon after also got certified in strength clas ses\, 300 hour training in Hot 26 yoga\, 100 hours of Trauma informed yoga \, and Yin yoga training. Carolina’s certifications all align in how she teaches her classes that are mindful and invigorating. \nFinish this stat ement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…\n…growing up I never had representation or encouragement in movement. As an indigenous queer thicc instructor my goal will always be to open the doors for a div erse community to enjoy movement in the body they are in and to empower th emselves not only physically but also mentally. \n\nHow can students learn more about this offering?\nInstagram: @carolina_reaper10\nWebsite: https: //carolinalaredo.com \nContact Information\nContact:\ncarolinaartwork10@gm ail.com or carolinalaredo.com LAST-MODIFIED:20260917T061746Z LOCATION:Studio 7 URL:https://www.dancecomplex.org/event/mat-pilates-with-carolina-laredo-11 /2026-09-17/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=boston-ma X-SOURCE-NAME:The Dance Complex X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.dancecomplex.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Silent Meditation at MIT Chapel DTSTART:20260917T220000Z DTEND:20260918T000000Z DTSTAMP:20260827T002617Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53808156257831 CATEGORIES:wellness DESCRIPTION:MIT Chapel Sanctuary is reserved for silent meditation on Thur sdays 6-8pm.
