About the classes

  • There is NO cost for these classes, it is Dana-based. Dana is the Sanskrit word meaning "generosity", so you have the opportunity to practice this kind of generosity if you choose. This is not at ALL expected, your presence is generous enough. If you would like to make a donate online, please find the button below. Your donation is processed by Strip, which is a secure payment platform that most e-commerce websites use like Amazon.

  • These classes are offered to help the community to enjoy movement and feel better in their body. I offer traditional hatha yoga practice. You can find more details about hatha yoga in the last 2 sections.

  • Beginner-friendly! I offer different variations of poses so you can find the one that suits your body.
