We are so excited to welcome Prashanta @bryce.108 to our teaching staff! He will be teaching on Sundays at 4pm for a 75 minute warm Shivananda inspired class! Don’t miss it!

As a young boy, Prashanta was first given the gift of Yoga by his father, who initiated him on the path of Asana and meditation. As he grew into his practice, he was trained further in the Advaita Vedanta tradition by the Swamis at the Shivanada Ashram in New York, where he stayed for two years honing his skills as an instructor.  Presently, he is pursuing an Ayurvedic doctorate under Vasant Lad at the Ayurvedic Institute. Drawing deeply from the wellspring of the Vedas, Prashanta blends both classical hatha yoga with the age-old medical art of Ayurveda in order to create union inside and out.

As  part of our teacher training we are curating a important special event led by Kristina Gonzales this Tuesday, August 24th from 12-2pm. 
We hope you can make it! 

De-centering Whiteness in Western Yoga: An open conversation about creating safe, inclusive spaces for diverse communities. 
Facilitated by Kristina Gonzales
Tuesday, August 24th
12-2pm

In this discussion Kristina will address the subtle, and sometimes overt ways in which racism, and white supremacy show up in yoga spaces. She will do so by posing a set of questions and writing prompts. The foundation for this discussion will be the Yamas and Niyamas, as well as the Bhagavad Gita. "Arjuna, whenever righteousness is on the decline, unrighteousness is in the ascendant, then I am reincarnated. For the protection of the virtuous, for the extirpation of the evil-doers, and for establishing Dharma [righteousness] on a firm footing, I am born from age to age." Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4: 7-8. The workshop will also include pranayama and meditation.

We are so honored to be curating a very special event led by Avery Kalapa this Thursday, August 26th from 12-2pm. 
We hope you can make it! 

Creating LGBTQ+ Inclusive Yoga Spaces

Do you want your yoga classes to be inclusive and welcoming, but feel unclear or unconfident when it comes to q***r and especially trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming students?
What limiting perspectives, assumptions, and ways of relating dominate most yoga spaces? What’s the difference between sexuality and gender? What does non-binary mean? Our practice of ahimsa asks us to do no harm. How can we awaken to – and therefore divest from – the harmful norms that play out in our yoga classes because of social conditioning? How does this work benefit us all, you included?
Join us as we explore a useful framework for creating courageous spaces.
This 2 hour workshop is for teachers of yoga, teacher trainees, and interested community members. Open your mind and heart and gain skills and inspiration towards cultivating more inclusive yoga spaces for gay, le***an, bisexual, q***r, intersex, nonbinary, and or trans practitioners.
Session will include inner and outer work: a little asana, some philosophy, practical tips and Q&A. Geared towards cis and or hetero teacher allies; QT folks welcome to join as well!
Provides CEUs through Yoga Alliance. (Certificate available upon request.)

The first half of our Yoga Teacher Training is done, and it was challenging for us both mentally and physically. I've been very grateful through the whole experience, even when my brain and body were fighting me throughout it. I've been trying to concentrate on one of the Niyamas: Santosha, and incorporate it into my meditation practice. It can be understood as "contentment." Trying to maintain a state of contentedness in our life through our Asana and meditation practices can change how we view and serve others and ourselves. -(@isaiahjars )
