stills the spirit. " -- Vyn Bailey, Patanjali's Meditation Yoga
Join us
for an evening of meditation and finding greater inner stillness. This
workshop, led by Mimi Kuo-Deemer, will explore the theory, practice and
experience of yogic meditation. A short talk will be followed by a guided,
seated meditation focusing on body awareness, breath and concentration.
A practice of Yoga Nidra, which means "to be unified in sleep," will
follow.
This workshop
is open to all students and levels, and is aimed at creating a space
and community to support the learning and practice of meditation.

A special two-day course designed to introduce yoga for students new
to a practice, or for anyone who would like a brush-up on the basics.

the basic postures (asanas),and focus on breathing techniques and sequences

Karma Class!

A new, on-going initiative by Yoga Yard. How does it work?
All the proceeds from the class will be given to charity. Students can donate
as much as they want to, but the minimum will be the cost of a standard single
class at Yoga Yard. The teacher’s salary will also be donated to the
charity. The charity we have chosen is Braille Without Borders, a charity
which works to give blind and visually impaired children in China and India
access to education. Braille Without Borders aims to empower those who are
blind or visually impaired to make a positive change within their
surroundings, society and country. For more information about this charity,
visit www.braillewithoutborders.org.
