Mandala Yoga with Alejandro Yamas
A playful and fluid practice that moves through a circular sequence of postures, inviting you to experience yoga from a fresh perspective. Mandala Yoga combines flowing vinyasa with intentional breathing and concentration. The circular sequences are designed to strengthen the body and bring mobility to the joints, while giving you the freedom to explore the practice with your own energetic emphasis - moving in a way that can be smooth and contemplative or vibrant and strong.
Alejandro brings a bright energy and a deep love of yoga to his teaching. He approaches yoga as a way to connect body, breath, and inner experience. On the mat, we practice presence and awareness; beyond the mat, we carry those qualities into how we meet ourselves and move through our lives.

This Practice is Not Sold
This practice is not sold. It’s shared. Our offerings exist through voluntary giving - as a living expression of the community we are. What we receive is made possible by the many who have given before us, and what we offer allows the practice to remain unowned and open.
Giving is part of yoga practice - not as a duty, but as a remembering. When we give, the grip of “me and mine” loosens. The patterns of separation and self-importance are disrupted. We step out of self-absorption - the root of suffering - and feel into the truth of interconnectedness. Every act of giving dissolves a boundary. The giver and the receiver are not two. This is how the practice continues - through open hands and open hearts.
