Edmond and Cheryl not only tech yoga and meditation, they also host "Knowledge Cinema" screenings of spiritual teachers on Sundays, and mind-bending movies Friday nights. AND they serve Edmond's incredibly delicious and healthy Ayurvedic (Indian) food over wonderful conversations both nights, pretty much every week. Plus they host Dance Wave (led by eme) on Saturdays at 4pm as well occasional sacred music concerts. All this goodness is by donation and open to all! Note: Their studio is on the 4th floor of the historic Art Mission Theater building. Most people use the stairs; but if you can't walk up 3 flights of stairs, no problem, you use the freight elevator.

Lynda has such a calming voice and really walks you through each pose. In person classes are great, and I've been doing Zoom classes more often as I am out of town and those have been wonderful also! It's perfect for when you are unable to leave your house or want to tune in while out of state. For some classes, I end up falling asleep and realize that's what I really needed. If you are looking to add a new style of yoga to your practice with some meditation and full body relaxation, I highly recommend Yoga for Every Body! If you are new to yoga and not sure you can handle tricky poses, this is the perfect introduction for you. If you are in pain and seeking relief from that tension, give these classes a try. All of the instructors will teach you poses to target your tight spots and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how effective they are.

Embodiments are a calm, soothing, gentle practice that teaches you to breathe with focus. That focused breathing and extended quiet time helps you turn off the recording in your head back that causes you stress, confusion, angst, etc. I have attended a few classes and I appreciate the gentle, quiet flow and the one on one support. Please try this YOGA FOR EVERYBODY!

Jenna has been my massage therapist for a number of years and I found that she quickly got to "know" my body and its needs more than I did! Not only that, after taking a few meditation classes with her, I found that she is the most knowledgeable and dynamic spiritual teacher I have ever met! She truly "knows her stuff." She can see and discern areas of growth that her students could benefit from and in the most gentle way possible brings it to our attention. I highly recommend her and look forward to learning more from her. Patty M.

I went full Yogi this weekend on a 2 day retreat at the Himalayan Institute and it was ohmazing…read more The institute hosts lots of yoga and meditation retreats of different lengths and price points which you can sign up for on their website. The one I chose was $250 for Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. There are several types of accomodations you can choose from, ranging from single beds in a shared bathroom to a lovely 2 bedroom 2 level cottage with a pullout couch and kitchenette and lots of teas. We stayed at a cottage and really liked it. We saw some giant cockroaches by the dorm rooms, so don't come expecting the Four Seasons here. The wifi is spotty in the rooms and basically everywhere except the cafe. Meals are served for only limited times during the day (about an hour and a half) - buffet style and you put your used plates/ bowl/ cutlery into large bins after. For lunch and dinner there are usually a few soups, a main dish (for example baba ganoush and pita, quinoa salad), some rice or grains, a salad bar, some fruit, and an assortment of breads (including a gluten free bread) and everything is vegetarian. For breakfast there was oatmeal and some other grains, yogurt, fruit, a delicious tofu scramble, hard boiled eggs, and a smoothie.The food is surprisingly good and filling but I don't know that I could eat it for more than a few days. Meals are $30 a day which you reserve when you book your accommodation. There is also a black tea and decaf tea always available so bring a travel mug! There is a beautiful new shrine open almost 24 hours for quiet meditation. There is also a sanctuary in the shrine which is open for only an hour before breakfast and dinner. There are small blankets you can grab to sit on and chairs around the altar. If you're feeling like a warrior and want to practice tree pose on a tree, you can take one of the 5 hiking trails around the area. Red is very well marked, blue is well marked until it's not and then you just turn right, walk through 2 holes in fences and you're at a beautiful waterfall! Green is well marked for half of it (around a cute pond) and then you might get lost in the woods (or maybe that's just me). There were a few other trails we didn't get to check out but the reception area has a map with the routes and estimated times. There are daily Hatha yoga classes at the institute that you can attend, a cute cafe, and a great gift shop with awesome clothes, books, jewelery, everything a yogi could ever want! There's also a chocolate factory with daily tours (and samples!) We loved the lemon ginger chocolate. Right next to the chocolate factory is a place called Sound of Music Hill which has beautiful views. You can also book massages (1hr for $80) which is a really great price and very relaxing. There is a small playground for kids too. If you are looking to deepen your yoga practice and get away for a weekend and enjoy nature, unplug, and stay in one place all weekend where you don't have to make any decisions, I can't recommend this place enough.
