This past weekend, I had the honor of attending and speaking at the Ananda Yoga Festival in Riverside, California. It was a weekend filled with heart, healing, and transformation—a powerful gathering of people committed to the shared journey of inner growth and community care.

9.22.25 I A RARE GIFT IN MONITIZED CULTURE I KRISTIN VARNER

In a time when nearly everything has a price tag - wellness included - it’s extraordinary for yoga to be shared as freely and often as it is at Community Yoga Center. Over 20 free yoga classes are shared weekly. That’s over 80 free yoga classes every month! In our culture, health and well-being have become commodities, mindfulness is marketed, and yoga is now packaged as a lifestyle brand. Monthly memberships, premium subscriptions, and luxury retreats pervade yoga spaces – making the message clear: yoga is available, but only if you can afford it.
