Sports Basement | Free Yoga Classes

Sports Basement Yoga Teacher, Tony Eason

“100% Free Yoga Classes”

“In November 2008, as I was looking at the “Grotto” (community space) of Sports Basement, a light bulb went on.   And, I began to ponder over the idea of using Sports Basement’s community space to serve the yoga community.

So to get the ball rolling, I began to teach free yoga classes each Sunday at Sports Basement.  A month later, I organized the first yoga teacher schedule; began the internet promotions; and then watched the yoga students arrive.

Since that time, the seed has blossomed.  And, Sports Basement has applied my initial concept of  “free yoga” to all store locations.

 I would just like to express my thanks & gratitude to all the yoga students who have attended & all the yoga teachers who have supported the idea of “free yoga Sundays” – making yoga accessible to every individual regardless of financial status . . . .  Much love & thanks,”

“To any and all interested in YOGA, the Sports Basement on Potrero Hill  offers FREE yoga classes every Sunday afternoon 1:00pm – 2:30pm.

The best part is that there is a different instructor each time (some repeat each month) so you get to experience the teachngs of many in the “Grotto,” a big open space with lots of light.  And you get a 15% discount to shop at the Sports Basement afterwards!  Come check it out…the instructors are of top quality and the space is great.  Ask for Tony, the ring leader of all of this great free yoga, if you don’t see him.  He’s a trip in and of himself and is great.”

The Old Sports Basement

“This is a really awesome community service. 

Yoga is taught here every Sunday for free and the instructors are competent and aware of the fact that people of all skill levels are in this class. It is open to anyone, welcoming, and very uplifting. I think that if I were to recommend anywhere in the Bay area to start Yoga and get into it with a group who cares about health, this is it. Plus, they also offer 15 percent discounts to everyone in the class! This is really a sweet program!    Be very thankful to Tony for organizing it and for teaching class the first Sunday of every month. oooooOOOOOOOMMMmmmmmm! .” – Jake C.

Yoga Classes at Sports Basement

“Free Yoga at Sports Basement is the best!  I just took my twelfth class there today and it was great. All the yoga teachers are excellent and its such a contribution to the community to have such a welcoming place to go and exercise, learn about yoga, meet other people and even get a discount shopping there. This is the kind of good will that marketing can’t buy. I tell everyone about the class and the store. I hope the Yoga classes will continue and maybe even more than once a week. Thanks Sports Basement for your commitment and contribution to the community.” – Serratia M.

Sports Basement - Yoga on the Roof

“I’ve been meaning to try one of their free yoga classes one of these Sundays at 1PM – I will try it soon and will provide an update.  Stay tuned!” –Moo N.

I was able to find badminton rackets at better price than big 5, lots of sports clothing, snacks, plus free yoga every sunday from 1 – 2:30pm.  Yea!” Sydney L.

“I’m not really the yoga type and ommmmmms make me nervous but when I found out that Sports Basement had yoga for free on Sundays I thought I’d take a break from drinking mimosas and give it a try.

I feel like all the bad behavior I exercised over the weekend is erased by my Sunday morning yoga and I can start of my week with a clean slate. No one seems to care that my sweat is really pellets of alcohol from the night before or that I arrived in my pajamas. And in case you didn’t think that free yoga could get any better, Sports Basement also provides mats for you to use, this means all you really have to do is role out of bed by 1pm.”– Britt C.

Five stars for hosting free yoga on Sundays (see: http://ynottony), great customer service, and best yet: a 20% off coupon for use in the store after the free yoga.
