ALL CLASSES DONATION BASED & OPEN TO BEGINNERS
This life seems to offer us the choices of living in a state of either numbness or unsustainable frenzy. Use this yoga to explore other ways of being, to learn how you can revitalize and rejuvenate through the tremendous resources of your whole self working as one. Strengthen, unwind, and to tap into your best self.
The mission of this weekly yoga class is to build the practice of yoga in New York's progressive community, as part of our individual and collective path of healing, empowerment, and liberation. Its vision is a group of practitioners who together will form a powerful dynamic, one that enriches New York's currently mainstream yoga culture. If you are a defender of social justice, if you live for change from the ground up, you are invited to be a creator of reality from this vision.
Come start your yoga practice or deepen an existing one. This is an open-level class-- all are welcome and modifications to poses will be offered for beginners and more advanced practitioners alike. The method we practice is "Forrest Yoga," a unique philosophy and approach to yoga that specifically addresses the physical and emotional stresses and challenges faced by people today.
