The Bay Area's shelter-in-place order has brought countless events usually held as in-person gatherings online. We're aiming to support local businesses in San Francisco and Oakland by highlighting five of these events each day.
Got a suggestion for an online event based in SF or Oakland? Email our events reporter, Teresa Hammerl.
Here's your SF event calendar for Monday, June 1. Join a conditioning class, hear about ethics and race in tech or tune in to a virtual sing-a-long — all from the comfort of your couch.

Stronger Flow
Stronger Flow is the low-impact version of the signature high-intensity interval training class offered by Mission-based community space The Assembly. Expect a 45-minute session broken down into intervals that hit every muscle group, for a total body workout.
