Diwali, also known as Deepavali, comes from the Sanskrit words Deepa (lamp) and Avali (row), meaning “a row of lights.” One of India’s most beloved festivals, Diwali celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, wisdom over ignorance, and hope over despair.

This year, we invite you to experience Diwali in a unique and intimate way—through the beauty of Indian culture, sacred music, meditation, and a deeply restorative sound bath.

Allow yourself to be carried by Moksha’s angelic, soulful voice, ancient Sanskrit mantras, the mesmerizing melodies of the handpan, resonant crystal singing bowls, delicate chimes, and other sacred instruments. Whether you grew up celebrating Diwali or are experiencing this beautiful Indian tradition for the first time, you are warmly welcome.

Did you know that yoga has explicit benefits that are DIFFERENT from other forms of fitness and exercise?

If you’ve practiced yoga regularly, you’ve likely felt it- mind-body connection is a powertul antidote to anxiety and stress.

If you’re new to yoga and curious, come practice with us- our Gentle Foundations and Slow and Steady classes are designed with beginners in mind.

If you’ve left yoga for other modalities and are craving the mindfulness again, come back for a class! Keep up the other fitness and exercise you’re doing too - it’s all part of a holistic system.

Our new student special is 21 days of unlimited yoga for $45 - so you can try many different classes and teachers and find what works for you!

Did you know that yoga has explicit benefits that are DIFFERENT from other forms of fitness and exercise?

If you’ve practiced yoga regularly, you probably do, because you can FEEL it!

Western science backs up what yogic science has said for ages - mind-body connection is a powerful antidote to anxiety and stress.

Yoga can be a transformational practice that holds the WHOLE being - physical body, mind, emotional body, spirit, and even the social body.

Add yoga in a trauma-sensitive, accessible, healing-centered environment and 🪄 the possibilities are endless.

we received the sweetest note recently from a student- so affirming to hear that our offerings are landing for our community. our goal has always been support you on and off the mat through different seasons of life, to hold the space for you to return to yourself and build safety in your body.

at the bymc, we understand our work on the yoga mat as deeply intertwined with our capacity to show up off the mat and feel so honored to be part of your lives!

with love, t + z ❤️❤️✨

Join us in welcoming these incredible humans to the SOMA School community 👏🏽🫶🏽🫰🏽

This year’s Yoga School and Teacher Training has begun ❤️‍🔥

In our opening circle, we invited everyone to presence a support to be with them as they embark on this learning growing journey -

we were joined by grandmas, siblings, chosen family, water, dirt, sun, space, kelp …

and our teaching assistants beautifully presenced all the students who have come through this program before, shaped it and evolved it, and in turn let themselves change and be changed by yoga.

We are so inspired by the unique wisdom that each student who has come through this program brings and bursting with excitement to see what this new cohort unfolds.

If you’re looking at this photo and feeling a little jealy…. There’s still time to join our à la carte sections and if you’re interested in next year’s full program, it’s not too early to reach out and let us know you’re interested ♥️

Join yoga instructor, Jihelah, and musician, Paul, for a thoughtful evening of live music and restorative yoga in support of Nepal Flood relief.
 
Saturday, October 17th
7:30pm - 8:45pm, PST
In-person

Please join us at the BYMC as we come together to amplify relief efforts to support families in Nepal displaced by the recent flooding. As students, teachers, and practitioners of yoga, we are extremely privileged to engage daily with practices and traditions deeply rooted in the Himalayas, including places like Nepal. Yogic philosophy encourages us to translate our yoga into action- which includes pouring our attention, care, and resources back into the regions and communities that we have so greatly benefited from.

Jihelah Greenwald will be providing a slower, restorative yoga sequence while Paul Foreman performs live music. Make a donation to the fundraiser in our bio and show proof of donation evening of as your ticket in. RSVP in advance to secure your spot ❤️
