$5 Community Yoga Class Level 0/1/2

Yes, just $5! (cash only)
Class is great for beginner yoga students as well as an opportunity for more experienced students to deepen their practice.

Blossoming teachers who have just completed, or are in the process of completing, a Yoga Alliance certified yoga school program, teach this class.

We strongly encourage arriving to class at least 15 minutes early.

Dear Students:

I am excited about some local yoga activism and have decided to donate all of Easton Yoga's proceeds from the Community Yoga Classes to The Shanthi Project.  

Founded by local yoga teacher Denise Veres, The Shanthi Project is bringing yoga and meditation to at-risk and incarcerated youth and underserved communities in the Lehigh Valley.  The project aims to help participants cope with stress and impulse control, leading to improved self-awareness and a greater sense of well-being. Research in these populations is showing that yoga and meditation can lead to mindful, constructive ways to face life's challenges. 

This past spring, Denise completed a twice weekly, month long pilot study at Northampton County Juvenile Justice Center, bringing yoga and mindfulness meditation to 11 boys in the treatment program. The encouraging results and some amazing stories about how these teens are embracing the practice led to a long-term program for the boys with co-teacher Michael Lear, and a program in the newly opened girls units, with co-teachers Andrea Pysher and Andree Santini.  With the gracious support of several local yoga teachers and studios, The Shanthi Project will also soon be bringing yoga to the Children's Home of Easton, The Easton Boys' and Girls' Club, and a local woman’s shelter.

The Shanthi Project greatly appreciates Easton Yoga Community’s support and Alicia's generosity.  They are also welcoming new and gently used yoga mat donations, since each student is given their own mat that they can keep when they go home. Any donations can be dropped off at Easton Yoga.  

So, thank-you for supporting Easton Yoga's Community classes, and know that you're helping to make a difference for this extended yoga community.  Just a reminder, the community classes will be at 11am on Saturdays and 5:30 on Sundays, so please come out as often as you can.  

Shanthi, Peace,
Alicia
