This offering is a vitalizing, movement-oriented postural practice designed to optimize energetic activation. Through rhythm, repetition, and flowing sequences, the practice engages muscles and the cardiovascular system while building strength and increasing stamina. Synchronized movement and breath support the release of physical tension and mental stress, allowing both gross and subtle energetic blocks to soften. The result is a practice that is both grounding and enlivening - cultivating clarity, resilience, and a deep sense of embodied vitality.
This offering is a gentle, slow-paced postural yoga practice designed to invite deep relaxation, release, and mindful awareness. Poses are held for longer periods of time - often around three minutes - allowing the body to soften gradually and the nervous system to settle. Most yin yoga postures are practiced seated or lying down, with a primary focus on the lower half of the body - areas that commonly hold tension, including the lumbar spine, pelvis, hips, hamstrings, and thighs, . Occasional upper-body postures - such as adapted shoulder openers - may be included to support balance and ease throughout the whole somatic system.
This offering honors the genius of Primary Series Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga - its intelligent sequencing, rhythmic vinyasa, and breath-centered movement - without outdated rigidity, hierarchy, and performance-based expectations. Ujjayi breath anchors movement, and mindful postural adaptions are encouraged to support energetic awareness, balance, and integration.
This dance series invites participants of all levels of experience into a joyful, exploratory movement practice rooted in Latin social dance, group-building improvisation, and collective care. Each session will blend guided movement exploration, partner and group activities, and reflective practices that honor dance as a site of memory, resistance, connection, and social change.Registration Encouraged: Please email Cinthia if you’d like to participate cdura033@ucr.edu Everyone Welcome: No prior dance experience is required. All bodies are welcome.
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 single-pointed concentration, open awareness meditation, and loving-kindness practice. If you're new to meditation, focusing on your breath can be a beautiful starting point for your practice.

Seated yoga is a gentle postural yoga practice comprised of a sequences of seated yoga postures. 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 seated inversions, 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.

Yoga Music With Lori, Austin & Tobias
An evening of shared music, open to all. No experience is needed - only a willing heart and an open ear. Kirtan is an ancient form of call-and-response music-making, where voices rise together in repeating melodies. There is no stage and no audience - only participation. You’re invited to sing, play, listen, or rest in music created by the collective. Come to join the jam, or just to be held by the music.

This period of time is dedicated to zazen, a Japanese term meaning “sitting Zen.” The session includes two periods of seated meditation, each about twenty minutes long, with a contemplative walking period in between. After the final sitting period, we will conclude with a short chant followed by an informal question-and-answer conversation.
On Sunday, March 22nd, we’ll be honoring the Spring Equinox with a special sun salutation practice beginning at 8am at Community Yoga Center. This offering is expected to end around 9:30am. We hope you’ll consider being part of this seasonal event. Practicing cycles of sun salutations with mantra is a beautiful yogic practice of offering gratitude for the light-giving force of the sun and recognizing the gift of life itself. It is a practice of reverence and commitment, and a special opportunity to connect in community.

For eight years, a community yogis has been sharing yoga with loving and generous hearts. What began as a simple gesture of kindness has grown into a living wellness movement, devoted to nurturing the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of human beings through the practice of yoga. We invite you to gather with us in celebration and gratitude. This evening honors the facilitators, practitioners, and community members who have made thousands of free yoga offerings possible - and who continue to offer yoga as something shared, not sold.
Come celebrate what we’ve co-created together.

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.
Seated yoga is a gentle postural yoga practice comprised of a sequences of seated yoga postures. 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 seated inversions, the practice usually ends with mindfulness meditation and offerings of gratitude and thanksgiving.

This offering is a gentle, slow-paced postural yoga practice designed to invite deep relaxation, release, and mindful awareness. Poses are held for longer periods of time - often around three minutes - allowing the body to soften gradually and the nervous system to settle. Most yin yoga postures are practiced seated or lying down, with a primary focus on the lower half of the body - areas that commonly hold tension, including the lumbar spine, pelvis, hips, hamstrings, and thighs, . Occasional upper-body postures - such as adapted shoulder openers - may be included to support balance and ease throughout the whole somatic system.
