Ashtanga Vinyasa - Beginner

This recurring meetup will consist of a meet and greet followed by an approximately one hour yoga session. The "class" will include most traditional standing and seated postures followed by some pranayama (breathing exercises to allow the body to connect with the mind). The practice will take approximately 1 hour. Please bring your yoga mat and any accessories you want. Please click the link below to find the exact location on Google maps. There is a gazebo located just south of Fairy Land in Lakeside Park known as the James P. Edoff Memorial Bandstand. If it is occupied, we will move to a hidden platform that is perfect for yoga. It's a little hard to find, so we'll meet at the gazebo and move from there. Bring your sun block! If it's windy or chilly, we will move to practice in the sun. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Lake+Merritt,+Oakland,+Alameda,+California+94612&ie=UTF8&hl=en&cd=2&geocode=FZ3WQAId1IS2-A&split=0&sll=31.893056,-98.965278&sspn=0.018948,0.032015&hq=&hnear=Lake+Merritt&ll=37.807657,-122.260101&spn=0.001971,0.004823&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=37.807657,-122.260101&cbp=12,0,,0,5&photoid=po-11899308 Donations will be accepted mainly to support the use of meetup.com Namaste, Mark
