Free Yoga LA: VINYASA IN THE PARK {with Ancient Wisdom}

New time! Please join us at 9:30 AM. Flow ends at 10:30 AM.

Based within the practice of Bhakti Yoga ~ yoga of love ~ we are hosting donation-based yoga classes on Sunday mornings in the park for all levels.

This practice is a spiritual meditation, a community gathering, a physical benefit for all muscles in the body, and much more.

Join us to connect with like-minded individuals seeking positive transformation and mindfulness in a serene setting.

We will ease into the practice through breathwork and grounding.

After warming up, we will gradually reach our peak flow for a full-body workout.

Finally, we wind down with meditative floorwork for a deep stretch and final rest.

Expect to relieve muscle tension and naturally expand your lung capacity, through accessible movement followed by relaxation.

Each week we will share knowledge of yoga from ancient texts, that will help you in practical ways in the modern world.

We will provide light assistance in postures to stretch deeper, for anyone who wants to opt-in.

Whether you're an advanced yogi or never tried it before, yoga is for everyone. Modifications are provided for many poses, making it an accessible practice of breathwork and movement. This is your welcoming, non-judgmental, individual practice that follows your own energy level. Just have fun!

Drawing on knowledge from Hindu scriptures written thousands of years ago such as The Bhagavad Gita, as well as other sacred books rooted in Bhakti Yoga philosophy, we will share the history and teachings of 'yoga' in all of its forms.

While we lead you through the physical asanas (poses) that many modern yogis are familiar with, we may touch on the following topics:

• The meaning of 'yoga' and purpose of postures
• The 4 Types of Yoga (Lifestyles): Bhakti, Karma, Jnana, Raja
• How to practice yoga off the mat
• The 8 Limbs of Yoga (asana is one!)
• Moral Disciplines + Duties of the Yogi (Yamas + Niyamas)
• Discussions of the Bhagavad Gita (one of the greatest epics of all time!)
• Mantras and Mudras... and more!

We have sacred books available for donation!

• Meet at South East corner of the park. Sign says "YOGA" with mandala design.
• Free street parking is available.
• Bring your yoga mat (or blanket, we will be on grass) and water.
• Wear something comfortable you can stretch in, bend over, etc.
• There is shade and sun. It often starts cooler and gets hot by the end.
• There are park bathrooms.
  

Thank you for your support in providing affordable yoga to the community!
