Yoga For All Movement Birthday Party at Yoga Church!

9/23/19 - Where do we go, what do we do, to align with the change that we want to see in the world? This Monday the 23rd, from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Vet’s Hall downtown, that is exactly what’s happening. Celebrating the 2nd birthday of Yoga For All Movement, who take yoga classes into prisons, women’s shelters, recovery facilities, and make it available to those that need it the most, we’ll dive in to a stellar gathering/fund raiser led by Hannah Muse, with yoga, live music, talks by our mayor, Martine Watkins, Shandara Gill, et al, and celebrate together the change that we want to see in the world! Suggested donation $25, but no one turned away for lack of funds. Hope to see you there!

Monday Night Kirtan at Pleasure Point Yoga 2018~2019

4/22/19 - 'Kirtan is for all people. There are no experts, no beginners. The practice itself is the teacher, guiding us to ourselves... it is a participatory music experience of sacred mantras and devotional chants performed in a call and response style which involves the audience in the performance' 
Two years ago, renowned yoga teacher, podcaster/influencer  Emily Perry was inspired with the 'build-it-and-they-will-come' idea of hosting a monthly Kirtan gathering in Santa Cruz on a Monday night. The event has since gained traction and evolved into a popular and nourishing gathering each month at Pleasure Point Yoga in Santa Cruz, California. 
Here's a sampling of a few of those sweet gatherings over the past couple of years...
