*Here's a list of Donation Yoga Teachers, yoga studios, and yoga classes in the San Francisco Bay Area Community making Yoga affordable for every individual. Come to a yoga class regardless of your finances. Beginners and seasoned yoga students of all levels are encouraged to attend.
Twelve years later the innocent answer as to why I was taking yoga ("to learn something new about my body") is still the part of what yoga is for me, but the exploration has gone much deeper inside my soul. Yoga is an exploration of the muscles, the bones, the tendons, the breath, the heart, and the quieting of the mind.
"This Tribe is for people in the San Francisco Yoga Community who support the notion that yoga classes should be accessible to absolutely everyone regardless of financial resources. It's for sharing of information about classes currently available in San Francisco entirely on a donation basis, and for any sort of discussion, networking, community-building, or ride-sharing that may transpire. Instructors from anywhere in the Bay Area, please post your donation classes! Free events and benefits are, of course, welcome as well!"
This Hatha Yoga class will be held twice a month the first and third Monday of each month at the Chinese Community Center in the Tenderloin.
Please Bring a yoga mat and a towel. We have some yoga mats on site.
Donations for the Instructor are welcome

"I love this yoga studio. they have donation based classes which is good cuz it can get pricy in this city, and a gorgeous sunny and bright space with all natural light. Keep in mind though: the thursday night class always runs at least 30-45 minutes OVER, so if you have to be somewhere, keep this in mind. Also it's awkward when you come out and the next class is waiting patiently to go in, we all felt really bad that the teacher didn't cut it off according to the schedule." - Amy P.
