Donation Yoga Classes – A San Francisco Community Service making Yoga affordable for every individual. Come to class regardless of your finances. Beginners are encouraged to attend. For more details, check out the following links.
“Yoga Mob is a space. Yoga Mob is a community. Yoga Mob is a part of the growing movement towards donation based classes in the Bay Area.
Yoga Mob is located in a 4000 sq. ft. live/work warehouse at 3359 Cesar Chavez at Mission. This space is provided to qualified instructors at no charge. Due to the lack of overhead, donation based classes can be offered to the yoga community for as much or as little as one is moved to donate. For those of us who practice regularly but are on a limited budget, community spaces like these are an invaluable resource.”
Donation Yoga with Jamie Lindsay.
“General Practice Notes:
Class are built around sequencing inspired by Kundalini Tantra practice, using the alignment principles of Iyengar, and the integration of breath and movement and internal energetics of Ashtanga Vinyasa. Recently, we’ve been working particularly with integral movement as waves undulating through the body, between core and periphery, between crown and root, between hand and heart, looking for a conscious clarity in articulating flows, feeling into the alignment, exploring the practice of asana and pranayama from an internal, experiential place. Though practice will be quite physically challenging, the focus will tend to be on the inner work of yoga. Please bring your sense of humor!
Donation-Based Vinyasa Yoga at Grace Cathedral:
This one-hour yoga class is suitable for all levels of student, but it is specifically geared towards those new to the practice. Though many postures are demanding, they are all appropriate for beginners, and we approach practice in a light and joyful fashion, with a sense of humor about the challenges of meditation in the body. Yoga is a powerful tool for relaxation and stress-reduction, quieting the mind, developing an increased sense of well-being, and improving strength, flexibility, health, and mental concentration. Please arrive at least ten minutes before class, and wear clothes you can move in comfortably. The Cathedral can be chilly, so sweat-clothes are ideal. Do avoid eating for a couple of hours before class. Grace Cathedral is located atop Nob Hill, at California and Taylor, and class is held on the indoor labyrinth. This class serves as a useful introduction to Vinyasa, as well, and is a good preparation for the more intense daily classes.”

Donation Kundalini Yoga As Taught By Yogi Bahjan.
“Kundalini Yoga uses breath, posture, mantra, guided visualizations and lifestyle techniques to affect deep, yet gentle, changes in physiological and psychological patterns.
Ideal for beginners and people with physical limitations. If you are out of shape, weak, tire easily or are self-conscious about your body – come to class. We create a safe, welcoming atmosphere. Even if you just sit with us and breathe, you can benefit from the experience.”
