I realize it was almost 3 months, not two since my last yoga lesson. I start things and quit things. Not really a “quitter” but I get diverted and attached to so many things that I just get tuckered out. I was so ready to dismiss yoga when my doctor advised me on it. I wasn’t thrilled about it. I figured I’d be the “fat lady”. But what I’ve learned in such a short time is that yoga is not really about my body but about my health and my mind. It’s about allowing myself a time to reflect and reach out. It’s not about what I look like but more about my need to heal, not just physically either. And I’m not about my body either. I’m overweight. For now. I’m not dieting, I’m healing. We’ve gone through so much these past few years. Death and illness and huge change. I stored my pain and stress. And now I’m taking care of my body, mind and spirit. I’m not the “fat lady”, I’m the “work in progress”.
I have never looked forward to anything or wanted anything that was related to exercise. I love rollerskating but it was always a bit of a chore.
But yoga… I miss it when I can’t attend. I looked at my mat and cried one night because I wanted to continue to feel good. Like all the strides I had made were just melting away.. I know they didn’t though. And now I’m more healthy and will get more benefit from it. I didn’t realize how sick I was.
I thought I had TFO Syndrome. Tired, Fat and Old. I tolerated pains that most wouldn’t. Maybe that’s a Mom affliction… But I needed to have my gallbladder removed and due to the arthritis medicines they had started me on just when I started yoga, it made me bleed horribly. Which put me in a weak state. Then stuff didn’t work otu well after surgery. Did the whole colonoscopy scare and tests, which last week came out find. I have a hernia from the surgery incision that is a bit of a bummer but I hope to have that taken care of.
It was a great return class to yoga. Bhakti was very giving and I like her. She says, “yummy spot” like you [Todd].
The first time I taught a Chakra workshop, was in Peru to a group of 15 men and women who were on a spiritual retreat. I was supposed to be assisting my friend and yoga teacher Chaitanya. Knowing that I was knowledgeable on the subject, he asked me to accompany him in place of his wife Saranagati. The workshop was held at some of the most famous Incan ruins in the Sacred Valley.
Above the terraced mountainside, about 15 of us gathered, looking down upon the valley below. It was just before sunset and we were all nestled alongside a small stream, amongst the crumbling remains of an Incan empire. The scenery was breathtaking.
Chaitanya took his time diligently setting up crystals, singing bowls, paulo santo and chimes. Finally, it was time to begin. Everyone was seated in a circle, eyes beaming with anticipation. Chaitanya turned to me, leaned over and whispered in my ear, “You teach it”. ”What!??”, I exclaimed. “You teach the workshop”, and he smiled. I grimaced back at him, and hesitantly nodded my head in acceptance. Shit, I thought, how did I get myself into this predicament? There was no time for hesitation, everyone was looking to me for an experience, one that I had not in any way prepared for. I prompted everyone to close their eyes and begin connecting with their breath and their reason for being there, at which time I did the same. I asked for guidance and to pretty please not be humiliated.
Have you seen our BIGegg??
We finally got some window treatment
done and LOVE the results.
Most of you that have seen it seem to as well.
Todd said you’re cracking the egg
every time you open the door….
Opening to The Flow of Change with Emily Trinkaus
TUE 6/1-6/22 – 7:30-9 pm $48
Emily Trinkaus
This class series starts Tuesday June 1st…there might still be a spot or two left!
This class series combines Yin Yoga, writing and astrology!
The change is happening, and we’re all immersed in it – you’re immersed in it - Spending just a bit of time with others who, like you, are curious about, and more consciously choosing for – uncovering and discovering – something new – a new way of being - will afford you an ease now, during these times which otherwise may seem daunting and fraught with overwhelming challenges. In allowing yourself to be supported, you invariably align with, and tune into your Self, and so find yourself supported by the very change you felt at odds with… Open to the magic…
Read this excerpt from what current immersion students received prior to the first class:
“If you were to go to a new town, and have someone drive you around from place to place for a few weeks or months.. or even years… then suddenly one day they were not (t)here to drive you… would you know how to get where you are going? And the salient thing that is important here, with respect to this practice, is not to memorize a particular route… but rather to learn to feel how you navigate… and then start to practice those skills – this new found awareness- more and more of the time…. it simply entails a willingness, a gentle persistence, some measure of curiosity, and some courage…. these things you have now, and we’ll be practicing using these over the course of the next three weeks…. in order to re-awaken them, stretch them, lean into them bit by bit, until they feel ready to be used ‘out there’ in life”.
Some of the last immersion’s participants kindly allowed us to post their blogs here. The Yoga of Getting Unstuck.
And hereYoga Immersion, A Journey to Myself.
Please note: no drop ins during this immersion – participants must register for the whole immersion, though your schedule may not allow you to attend each and every session. Space limited to 14 immersers (not including your guides…who take up no space)
JRo is coming back!
June 2-9
JRo
Good News! JRo has extended his stay till June 9th…there are some spots left still after June 5th.
JRo will be here in June, and he’ll have Clairvoyant reading and healing sessions available.
Ro came last year for a visit and before you know it he was all booked up. He’s getting booked this time too, so hurry up and call if you want a session w/him. He will be seeing clients at the studio (with the exception of one day possibly at our home).
From JRo:” Your body is energy and our lives reality based events. Learn how you occur right here right now as life. And learn how to change it, guide it and ultimately let go”.
Todd will be teaching this drop in class permanently.
You can arrive like to any other classes, and either use your class card or pay a donation.
Come explore what Yin Yoga is all about. Whether you are new to yoga in general, or a seasoned yogi, this is a class you’ll get a lot from.
One of the interesting things about the yin approach is that it benefits the more active person (runner, biker, etc) as well as the less active person (couch potato).
Satsang Sarong….. come and be embraced with Todd
SAT 6/19 – 6-8 pm
Cost: FREE
Satsang Sarong
Satsang sarong is simply a time to come together. This evening includes a meditation, talk, sharing, questions. We’ll spend some time sitting together, perhaps in a guided meditation, perhaps in silence.
Once we’ve sufficiently woven the fabric of connection together to feel it (tuning in), we’ll spend some time being immersed in that energetic field, and share. There may be discussion, perhaps some sharing, and there’s time for questions and answers… it’s a time for us to explore a bit more this thing we do when we come together for class, and not be so busy with the poses.
Come just before 6, as we’ll do a meditation and would prefer no late comers. Namasté
A gift taken and shared: four weeks, four classes for change
gift of yoga
Please give yourself this gift and by so doing give the gift of continued sustainability to OmBase.
There will be a sign up sheet at the front desk, where you can put your name down each week and receive a free gift at the end of the 4 weeks!
Just a little incentive for you to come and participate!
Coming in JULY . . .
Intro to Yoga
w/Todd, Adriana, Stasia and Vittoria
7/6-7/27 every TUE 7:30-8:45 pm
Cost: $48/ Pre-registration required
Alana - Upward Facing Dog
Our last intro was very successful, so we’re having another one in July! Please let your friends know…
This class series is an introduction to Yoga for all beginners out there!

Lunar Yin series
with Emily
M/W/F 7-8:15 am
Cost: 90-$108 sliding scale. Pre-registration required.Sorry, no drop-ins.
Lunar Yin
This is a 3-week series offered the first 3 weeks of the month and meets M-W-F from 7:00-8:15am.
We typically spend 3-5 minutes in each supported pose, gently melting into the tight places and inviting them to unwind.
The benefits of this practice include increasing the range of motion in the joints, and improving the flow of energy through the meridians, resulting in a feeling of more “space” in the body and more overall vitality.
While we hang out in the poses, Emily will share her astrological insights about the current phase and sign of the Moon. Knowing where the Moon is helps us “go with the flow” instead of “pushing the river,” which is what this practice is all about!
Please email/call OmBase if you want to sign up for either of these events, or others. |
You can mail a check, sign up at the studio or sign up online.
Thanks to Emily, Virgo organizer extraordinaire, she posted every book we have online, here.
You can check out books and videos the same way, by writing your name in the check-out binder at the studio, but now you also have the option of browsing our library online, read an excerpt of the book (via an Amazon link), post a comment, and more.
We’ll be adding reviews of the books in the next few weeks.
The other change is that we’ll be charging $1 x week for DVDs, as we need to replace them occasionally, and that will help.
Books will be due 3 weeks from check out date, DVDs only one week at a time.
You will get email reminders when your item is due.
Virtual shots of Om Base
We’ve posted some fabulous 360º shots of the studio on our website. You can scroll (slowly!) to see in every direction!
We’d like to ask you to post a review as reviews really help other students decide whether or not come to visit us!
You can go to our contact us page, and click on the pop-up window that comes up over the map (click OmBase or Reviews). It’ll take you to a Google page link where you can post a review!
You can also go to Insider Pageshere to post a review.

We’re teaching the first Intro to Yoga we’ve had in months; Movie Night continues, a new bike rack has been installed, JRo‘s coming back in town, Emily‘s teaching with Todd, Yin Yoga moves to another night….plus lots more!

Bike rack is in!
Maria hugging the new bike rack
Yes, that’s Maria hugging the rack . . . Riding your bike to OmBase is a whole lot easier now!
The first time you ride your bike to class, and park your bike at the new corral, let us know when you sign in, and you can take that class for just $5, or use your class card and bring a friend for free.
Remember that if you have a class card and ride your bike to class (walk or take public transit) you can stamp your card.. and after collecting 10 stamps we’ll say thank-you to you with a free class on us!
One of our students, Maria, an avid biker, was the first to use the new racks (parking there about two hours after they had been installed!) and happened to be there when Dave Johnson (from the Hillsdale Biking Coalition) was taking a picture, and here’s what we learned about Maria,
“My name is Maria Cahill and I ride from my home (which is also my office for a sustainable land development consulting business) in Multnomah Village. Biking is one of my personal and professional commitments to a healthier environment and a healthier me. I rode over 1000 miles last year just for business related meetings and site visits in addition to my private errands and events. I’m excited to see the new bike racks!“.
Thank you for coming to class! Can you post a review?

“Hello Todd,
I wanted to thank you for your generous support yesterday. I am always amazed by your incredibly giving spirit! Many times I arrive at your classes feeling bereft, hurting in some physical or emotional way and come away feeling light, supported and centered. You have a gift, my friend, and I feel blessed that I found you! Thank you.
Blessings”. ~ NB
NEWS SNIPPETS
MORE Teachers Interviews!
Emily was kind enough to devote a lot of time to interview the teachers at OmBase, and we have some of those interviews online now. Soon we’ll have to interview Emily, as she’s going to be teaching too!
You can go to Our Family and then click on “Teachers.”
It had been some time since the last immersion had been offered, and so I was surprised when a couple of students mentioned that they missed them, and would like to jump into another one. after having the previous two immersions canceled due to lack of interest, I wasn’t sure that offering another one would make sense, but my guidance assured me that yes, it would happen and that it was timely and would benefit those who chose to attend.
So, without being attached to the outcome, I “put it out there” that an immersion was imminent, and over the course of several weeks, people began to sign up… interestingly, most of the people who signed up for this immersion were new to this work; and though it was not apparent to me at the time, this proved to be important.
It proved to be important because the immersion itself was different. The fundamental focus remained the same, but the hiatus or pause since the previous immersions offered and provided enough space to allow for a re-framing of the way the immersion happens.
There was clear guidance on the day to day formatting and sequencing of the various meditations as well as the body of the practices. Watching all of this unfold helped me to see anew the power of practiceitself… and here’s what I really want to convey and to share with you.
more than once in a blue moon . . .
Although we’re all practicing all of the time, most of what we practice serves to simply perpetuate what is familiar to us (keeps us ensconced firmly in our box, and so committed to our perspective..)but when we dare to try something new on, and I mean literally to wear it, then our perception does indeed shift as a consequence, and so to our lives.
We’ve all helped to create this wonderful space and place we call OmBase - a place where we have the unbridled permission to step out of our costumes and our accustomed ways of being to uncover and so discover something new… but very few of us are really taking advantage of this gift and embracing what it has to offer us. Typically we drop into a practice here and there, with little commitment to really lean into- to wear and share- what we uncover and discover as a consequence of our practice. And instead of allowing it to really move us – even though we may be moved by the practice – we opt instead to revert back to our more familiar refrain of insisting on resisting.
What I witnessed again through this immersion was just how powerful it is when people simply commit to showing up, and then simply sink into the practice of being—it’s literally life changing and the really good news is that this is the most natural thing one can “do”…. so if you do show up, it happens.
four weeks, four classes in June
So I invite you to consider what keeps you from availing yourself of that which is supporting you?
Could you dare to give yourself the gift of even committing tojust one class a week for four weeksduring the month of June?
Why not ask one of your friends to join you in this commitment – it’s easier when you have someone to help you - “….and you’ll also be helping them… and as you show up to class, not only will you be benefiting, but by helping OmBase, your presence literally extends this gift to others.
So let’s give this a shot.. a little experiment.. Four weeks, Four classes, With a Friend… receive the gift and extend it to others… and be open for the types of shifts that these recent participants shared below:
“Hi Todd,
Thank you for holding such a great space for the Yoga Immersion class. It was my first entry into yoga other than a few classes here and there. It was the dropping habits focus that actually drew my attention more than the yoga. Although, I didn’t drop any habits per se, what I discovered was a different connection with myself. A way to tap into that inner knowing – to connect with what do I want. So much of what I do is impulsive or reactive so it was such a pleasure to have a space and time devoted to reconnecting with me that I could work with in my day-to-day life to minimize reactivity. I have been told twice this week that I have softness to my eyes and seem centered. WOW! That is huge as I always feel a bit spinney. My point is when someone on the outside notices a shift then a shift has taken place. I thank you and all in class who shared that space – a yoga sangha!” — D.D.
“…When I walked out of the studio into daylight, the air felt crisper, the colors brighter, and overall I felt more connection to the universe.What I discovered was a different connection to myself that I have not felt in my years of meditation practice. I connected with my body and moved closer to really feeling into what do I want. I finally understand what it means to get completely out of my head and drop into my feeling self. And, most importantly, I find myself stopping and asking more often what do I want. Taking that minute to ground myself before responding….”. — D.D. Read the whole blog post
“Hi Todd,
Just saying Thank you for your hard work and the enlightenment you have brought into my life. Thanks for your entire staff to promote Yoga and the great music you have introduced me to. My husband John thanks you too as we like the meditation music but didn’t know which ones to purchase.
The last 3 weeks have been an incredible journey discovering my energy, guides, and a renewed perspective of the river we all share. I believe people close to me are seeing my positive changes. They may not say it, maybe not even conscious of it, but their actions reflect what I feel. Less thinking, more feeling. I love your saying. — D.C.
To help support this, I’ll be offering the first Satsang Sarong – Come and Be Embraced about half way through this four weeks (Saturday, June 19th at 6 pm. It’sfree)…. I’d love it if you joined us… Come and steep in the energy… there’ll be time for questions too… it’ll be fun!
There are a lot of changes in the air
at OmBase scheduled for April!
Some teachers change days/times,
and we say goodbye to one of our long-standing teachers…..
Plus Toddhas his first Yoga Immersion in months,
as well as a new class on Tuesday night.
Yoga Immersion with Todd
4/5-4/23 every weekday 6:30-8 am
Cost: $150-180 sliding scale/pre-registration
Todd Williamson
This is a chance to gather and practice three-five sessions a week. These healing immersions focus on healing and balance through visualization, meditation and yoga asanas. It’s easier to do this “work” around others who are making the same choices… so take advantage of the others’ presence (presents) and join in.
This is the year for change. (the year of the Tiger). The change is happening, and we’re all immersed in it – you’re immersed in it - Spending just a bit of time with others who, like you, are curious about, and more consciously choosing for – uncovering and discovering – something new – a new way of being - will afford you an ease now, during these times which otherwise may seem daunting and fraught with overwhelming challenges.
In allowing yourself to be supported, you invariably align with, and tune into your Self, and so find yourself supported by the very change you felt at odds with… Open to the magic…
Please call OmBase, or email Todd/OmBaseif you want to sign up.
Decision to hold immersion will be made several days prior to start date, so don’t wait till last moment to let us know!
Yin Yoga at night!
with Todd
TUE 7:30-9 pm, every Tue in April
Cost: drop in donation class
Yin Yoga
Todd will be teaching a yin yoga class every Tuesday in April. You can arrive like to any other classes, and either use your class card or pay a donation.
Come explore what Yin Yoga is all about. Whether you are new to yoga in general, or a seasoned yogi, this is a class you’ll get a lot from.
One of the interesting things about the yin approach is that it benefits the more active person (runner, biker, etc) as well as the less active person (couch potato).
Saying goodbye to Jay….
Jay Fields
Most of you know Jay. She’s been with us from the very beginning of the start of OmBase, and we have known her long before that. She has always been committed to being a part of our family.
Jay is moving on, and she will not be teaching classes at OmBase, but we know we will see her again…
Please join us in wishing Jay the very best in her new endeavors!
Jay has a beautiful new website, and a blog, always worth reading!
Thank you so very much for being a part of my journey of learning and teaching at OmBase. It’s hard to leave because I will miss the family I have at OmBase, but the “nest,” as it were, has served its purpose–I’m now ready to fly in to new ways of being that are most in alignment with who I am in my work and life now. I feel quite joyful to let go and let myself be taken by the flow of things, which right now means having more time for my private spiritual counseling practice, for workshops, and for writing. Feel free to visit my new website to see what I’m up to…
And I trust that part of the journey is to stay connected to Om as a student, friend, and collaborator. Until that mystery unveils itself…
Much love,
Jay
Same time, different teachers

Discover the ancient art of bellydance with Adriana, a light-hearted & thoughtful dance artist and instructor with over 15 years experience. Adriana offers a holistic approach that gives freedom to express your own personal flow of creativity from within.
Bellydance is a great form of exercise for women of all ages, shapes & sizes! You can develop body awareness, grace, balance, strength, & fluidity and embrace your Divine Beauty. It’s a natural complement to a woman’s bone and muscle structure with movements coming mainly from the torso. You will learn how to isolate different parts of the body, moving them independently as well as layering movements in fluid patterns and in quick short accents, weaving together the entire feminine essence, and using the movements as a form of creative expression.
Adriana
This class will have a strong focus on proper technique and foundation movements, as well as learning choreography. This will eventually allow you the freedom to improvise, and we will explore this in class.
We will also delve into other bellydance styles, fusion and the use of props, such as veils & zylls.

Todd Williamson
New Show: Free Range Meditation
Weekdays at 8AM PDX.FM Channel Two
Hosted by Todd Williamson
You can now hear Todd’s meditations, recorded during class.
“When I close my eyes, I see my childhood in Africa; wild animals, blankets of stars, clear waters full of fish, and me, lying in the arms of a tree swaying gently in the breeze. Nature caught me in her grip early, and the feeling was unmistakable. In later years, when I found myself in more urban settings, I was always looking for ways to find that same feeling – the vastness, the embrace, the unmistakable feeling of being a part of it. It was yoga and meditation that took me there. With each 30 minute session that we share, I hope that I can help you find your own sanctuary amidst the rapid movement of life. There are stars, wild animals and tall trees in our own everyday world. It is my goal to help you sway in the breeze.” ~ Todd Williamson

Sound Meditation & Toning Circle
with Dagmar
THU 7:30-9 pm
starts 2/4/10
Cost: by donation
Dagmar Luenser
During this weekly offering, we start with a sound meditation, where you simply sit or lie quietly and allow the gentle sounds of bells, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls and chimes to soothe your body and mind. Then you are invited to tone together as a group, where you are encouraged to use your voice and let sounds come through you.
Toning is the elongation of a note or tone using breath and voice. It is an active vocal healing meditation that can help you re-discover your authentic voice, reduce stress, restore balance and connect you with the deeper rhythms and vibrations of your being. No singing experience is required.
Dagmar is a gifted sound and energy healer with a private practice in SW Portland. Trained in shamanic work, sound healing, Spiritual Response Therapy and Reiki, she helps individuals come into balance and connect more deeply to their soul’s path.

A mixture of personal stories from my life and my work with clients, current research, and simple experiential explorations, in this talk I will reveal how:

February’s $5 class
Blisyoga
with Todd
WED 7:15 pm
We have decided to offer the $5 drop in class every month for a while!
Todd Williamson
Take advantage of this month’s class: Wednesday’s Blisyoga with Todd every Wed at 7:15 pm.
About Blisyoga:
Typically starts with a 20-30 minute guided meditation, breathing, and sounding followed by some gentle movements to warm up.
Often we’ll stay on the floor for most of the class, but each class is different and we may find ourselves on the bars. We use a lot of props, as they lend and offer support in a wider range of movement possibilities.
Many, if not most of the movements and poses may are different from what you may have learned in more classic hatha and vinyasa style classes.
You can see Annie Meyer’s art hanging at our studio now!
Annie is a local artist Todd and I found a few years back and we love her art!
From Annie:
“I consider myself a painter, but work in 3 different mediums: Painting (primarily oil and acrylic paintings), monotype prints, and ceramic tiles. Essentially my work is the same theme, but expressed differently due to the difference in mediums. My subject manner is the human figure, and abstract French Landscapes. I have been drawing the figure since high school, and I work directly from a live model.
All of my work is original. I have no reproductions.”
Everything that is hanging at OmBase is for sale, so ask the front desk for more info, or check out Annie’s website.

Favorites are nature, pets, scenery of any kind.

Drop in OK, no registration required.
If you want more details please email Dagmar directly at:
Every once in a while we’d like to remind our students about not coming to class late.
Entering the yoga room at the beginning of a class when there is a meditation going on is disrupting for most of the students.
So if you are more than just 5 minutes late, and the meditation has started, please wait in the reception until the meditation portion is over, and then enter QUIETLY.
If the class has just started, you can enter quietly and sit or lie down close to the door – like on the little carpet by the fire, or just close to the door, so as to disturb as little as possible.
Please wait to set up your mat and get your props until after the meditation is over.
We appreciate your understanding ….. Namasté

“My presentation is about the confluence of ecology and yoga, relationship and consciousness.
I will share with you the Embodied Living Cycle (ELC), a model for psychospiritual development that I created based on Erich Schiffmann‘s approach to yoga and the theories of deep ecology and integral education.”
Reminding all of you that prefer an earlier time to do yoga, and are comfortable doing a practice without a teacher, we still offer a practice time on Thursdays 4:30-5:30 pm.
A time for you to come and practice! Studio is open, come on in. Again, there is no teacher instructing (although there may be teachers there practicing). Take advantage of the open time to do your own meditation or yoga practice inspired by others doing the same.
Try it out!
A small donation of $2-4 for heat/air
and other maintenance costs is welcome.
I realize it was almost 3 months, not two since my last yoga lesson. I start things and quit things. Not really a “quitter” but I get diverted and attached to so many things that I just get tuckered out. I was so ready to dismiss yoga when my doctor advised me on it. I wasn’t thrilled about it. I figured I’d be the “fat lady”. But what I’ve learned in such a short time is that yoga is not really about my body but about my health and my mind. It’s about allowing myself a time to reflect and reach out. It’s not about what I look like but more about my need to heal, not just physically either. And I’m not about my body either. I’m overweight. For now. I’m not dieting, I’m healing. We’ve gone through so much these past few years. Death and illness and huge change. I stored my pain and stress. And now I’m taking care of my body, mind and spirit. I’m not the “fat lady”, I’m the “work in progress”.

News from OmBase – April 1st Edition
Thursday, April 1st, 2010rainbow's end
There are a lot of changes in the air
at OmBase scheduled for April!
Some teachers change days/times,
and we say goodbye to one of our long-standing teachers…..
Plus Todd has his first Yoga Immersion in months,
as well as a new class on Tuesday night.
Yoga Immersion
with Todd
4/5-4/23 every weekday 6:30-8 am
Cost: $150-180 sliding scale/pre-registration
Todd Williamson
This is a chance to gather and practice three-five sessions a week. These healing immersions focus on healing and balance through visualization, meditation and yoga asanas. It’s easier to do this “work” around others who are making the same choices… so take advantage of the others’ presence (presents) and join in.
This is the year for change. (the year of the Tiger). The change is happening, and we’re all immersed in it – you’re immersed in it - Spending just a bit of time with others who, like you, are curious about, and more consciously choosing for – uncovering and discovering – something new – a new way of being - will afford you an ease now, during these times which otherwise may seem daunting and fraught with overwhelming challenges.
In allowing yourself to be supported, you invariably align with, and tune into your Self, and so find yourself supported by the very change you felt at odds with… Open to the magic…
You can find out more about Immersion here.
Please call OmBase, or email Todd/OmBase if you want to sign up.
Decision to hold immersion will be made several days prior to start date, so don’t wait till last moment to let us know!
Yin Yoga at night!
with Todd
TUE 7:30-9 pm, every Tue in April
Cost: drop in donation class
Yin Yoga
Todd will be teaching a yin yoga class every Tuesday in April. You can arrive like to any other classes, and either use your class card or pay a donation.
Come explore what Yin Yoga is all about. Whether you are new to yoga in general, or a seasoned yogi, this is a class you’ll get a lot from.
One of the interesting things about the yin approach is that it benefits the more active person (runner, biker, etc) as well as the less active person (couch potato).
