I am very excited to publicly announce my initiative to offer yoga classes right here in Bed-Stuy! The Homegrown Yoga Project is my effort to make yoga available on a community based level--in a space close to your own neighborhood, amongst friends and neighbors, and at a value that you get to determine.
One year ago, we moved into this gorgeous brownstone with the intention that it could become a social gathering space, a cozy home where people could visit and co-create in. I began offering open yoga classes to friends and neighbors in January 2012 as a way to make yoga more accessible: All classes are donation/barter based, meaning you get to determine the value that you place on attending. If money is not in abundance, you can bring something to barter or trade! Classes are also intimate and relatively small, meaning you get lots of individual attention and hands-on help and adjustments. Additionally, when you practice amongst friends and neighbors, you build relationships that extend beyond the class experience. As my teacher Douglas Brooks often says, You are the company you keep. So keep great company. It has been incredible to watch the organic growth of this entity from the inside out. Everyone makes a contribution, and the relationships that are being built are the bonds of great community.
The Homegrown Yoga Project is located in a 100 year old brownstone in the heart of historic Bed-Stuy. It is a truly beautiful and unique experience to practice amongst the well-kept ornate woodwork and stained glass. Classes are held 3 times per week, and are open to anyone with a desire to attend. Our studio is fully equipped, and you may even be lucky enough to stop by on a day when I've just made a fresh loaf of sourdough bread or cookies.
Class Schedule:
Tuesday 10am
Wednesday 3pm
Friday 12pm
