Rise and shine for your body and mind. This offering integrates yin and yang aspects of asana and pranayama practice to optimize energetic vitality and presence. Feel into the freshness of all kinds of new beginnings and endings, and explore the magnitude of your limitless potential.
Meditation can be beneficial at any time of day, but there’s something beautiful about beginning the day mindfully with meditation. We do not advocate any particular method of meditation and our regular meditators practice a variety of meditation methods, including: dharana (single-pointed concentration), dhyana-maha (meditating on every-thingness with loving-kindness practice), dhyana-abava (meditating on no-thingness with open awareness practice), and mantra (invoking sacred energies).
Chair yoga is a gentle postural yoga practice that uses the support of a chair. The practice typically begins with gentle movements of the head, neck, and shoulders with emphasis on linking the breath with the movements. Sun salutations and warrior sequences follow, all while seated. After a series of hip openers, forward folds, and inversions in the chair, the practice usually ends with mindfulness meditation and offerings of gratitude and thanksgiving.
Yin yoga is a gentle, slow-paced postural yoga practice where poses are held for extended periods of time. Three-minute holds are not uncommon. Most yin yoga poses are seated or supine. The sustained traction of yin yoga reaches deep connective tissue, stretching and stimulating fascia, tendons, and ligaments – especially when muscles are not engaged. With muscles relaxed, the connective tissues around joints can be accessed without interference at a deeper level, allowing them to be remodeled and revitalized.

New skool ashtanga values the genius of old school ashtanga poses, sequencing, and intentionality of breath - without the old school asana fundamentalism that fuels insidious competition around physical abilities and perpetuates shame when dictated expectations are not met. New skool ashtanga emphasizes the joy of practice - the creativity, love, and self-realization that’s cultivated in an atmosphere of infinite possibilities. New skool ashtanga follows the same primary sequence of postures practiced in classic ashtanga - about 75 incredible poses that are repeated during every practice session. And, like classic ashtanga, each posture is held for a certain number of breaths (about 5) and includes transitional movements into and out of the poses.
Yang yoga is a vitalizing postural practice that optimizes energetic activation. It works muscles and the cardiovascular system through intense rhythm and repetition. Yang yoga tends to be a fast, moving, dynamic asana practice, like vinyasa flow, that builds strength and increases stamina. It can ease body tension and calm mind stress through synchronized movement that allows the body to release gross and subtle energetic blocks.

Classic ashtanga links intentional breathing with a dynamic sequence of about 75 postures known as “primary series.” Each posture is held for about five breaths and is flanked by transitional breaths and movements into and out of the poses. Because the set sequence is the same during every practice, a regular frame of reference is created to observe the felt sense of the body, mind, and heart. This awareness combined with the synchronization of mindful breath and movement creates a powerful style of asana practice.
Sacred time for your body and mind, this offering includes gentle and vitalizing sun salutations followed by an immersive sound bowl experience to aid meditation.
This optional virtual study session is an opportunity for Yoga Teacher Training students to think creatively and actively engage with yoga concepts.

WE ARE BUILT ON GIVING
This offering is provided solely through voluntary giving. The giving of many is what allows this gathering to be offered so freely. Anyone who’s experienced benefit from this offerings is invited to give for the benefit of others. There are many ways to give beyond financial contributions.

When we practice giving, we feel into how we all depend on one another - how we are all part of the whole. In this way, giving is the natural response of the awakened heart.
You’re invited to give according to your volition and means - in whatever ways resonate with you. You might like to make monetary donations, contribute to our collective resources, or dedicate your time and skill to assist the community.

This awareness combined with the synchronization of mindful breath and movement creates a powerful style of asana practice.
Sacred time for your body and mind, this offering includes gentle and vitalizing sun salutations followed by an immersive sound bowl experience to aid meditation.
This optional virtual study session is an opportunity for Yoga Teacher Training students to think creatively and actively engage with yoga concepts.
Our fourth community-led meditation circle of the new year is Sunday, February 23rd at 6:15pm PT. Our time together will be split - we will meditate together for thirty minutes and afterward we’ll discuss the fourth section of Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening by Joseph Goldstein -Mindfulness of Feelings (pages 81-99).
Meditation can be beneficial at any time of day, but there’s something beautiful about beginning the day mindfully with meditation. We do not advocate any particular method of meditation and our regular meditators practice a variety of meditation methods, including: dharana (single-pointed concentration), dhyana-maha (meditating on every-thingness with loving-kindness practice), dhyana-abava (meditating on no-thingness with open awareness practice), and mantra (invoking sacred energies).
New skool ashtanga values the genius of old school ashtanga poses, sequencing, and intentionality of breath - without the old school asana fundamentalism that fuels insidious competition around physical abilities and perpetuates shame when dictated expectations are not met. New skool ashtanga emphasizes the joy of practice - the creativity, love, and self-realization that’s cultivated in an atmosphere of infinite possibilities. New skool ashtanga follows the same primary sequence of postures practiced in classic ashtanga - about 75 incredible poses that are repeated during every practice session. And, like classic ashtanga, each posture is held for a certain number of breaths (about 5) and includes transitional movements into and out of the poses.
This is a restorative freestyle yoga offering imbued in a mood evoking relaxed setting. Cherie is facilitating. Come and practice with us if you have the audacity to rest.
If you regularly practice new skool or classic ashtanga and are interested in having some fun learning hands-on adjustments and some poses in intermediate series ashtanga, consider joining us for ashtanga playday on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Discover for yourself the genius of play and join us for ashtanga playday!

Chair yoga is a gentle postural yoga practice that uses the support of a chair. The practice typically begins with gentle movements of the head, neck, and shoulders with emphasis on linking the breath with the movements. Sun salutations and warrior sequences follow, all while seated. After a series of hip openers, forward folds, and inversions in the chair, the practice usually ends with mindfulness meditation and offerings of gratitude and thanksgiving.
Yin yoga is a gentle, slow-paced postural yoga practice where poses are held for extended periods of time. Three-minute holds are not uncommon. Most yin yoga poses are seated or supine. The sustained traction of yin yoga reaches deep connective tissue, stretching and stimulating fascia, tendons, and ligaments – especially when muscles are not engaged. With muscles relaxed, the connective tissues around joints can be accessed without interference at a deeper level, allowing them to be remodeled and revitalized.

WE ARE BUILT ON GIVING
This offering is provided solely through voluntary giving. The giving of many is what allows this gathering to be offered so freely. Anyone who’s experienced benefit from this offerings is invited to give for the benefit of others. There are many ways to give beyond financial contributions. Giving includes all types of altruistic service.
In giving, we expand our hearts in a way that recognizes we are not actually separate from others. Giving is a letting go of a sense of separateness that’s based in ignorance. When we practice giving, we feel into how we all depend on one another - how we are all part of the whole. In this way, giving is the natural response of the awakened heart.
You’re invited to give according to your volition and means - in whatever ways resonate with you. You might like to make monetary donations, contribute to our collective resources, or dedicate your time and skill to assist the community.

Yang yoga is a vitalizing postural practice that optimizes energetic activation. It works muscles and the cardiovascular system through intense rhythm and repetition. Yang yoga tends to be a fast, moving, dynamic asana practice, like vinyasa flow, that builds strength and increases stamina. It can ease body tension and calm mind stress through synchronized movement that allows the body to release gross and subtle energetic blocks.
