Dear Yogis,
The Yoga Room is a place where we open our hips, shoulders, and chests, where we cultivate and share the light within each of us. Now is the time to prop up the place that holds us.
It costs about $10,000 a month to keep The Yoga Room open. Every effort is being made to secure loans and grants available to small businesses, but we know this will not be enough.
That’s why we’re asking you to help us raise $20,000 to build a collective bridge to The Yoga Room’s future. You can make your gift in two ways:
• On PayPal
- Go to www.paypal.com and log in to your account.
If you don’t have an account you will need to create one to make a credit card gift.
- Click on the SEND icon, and then enter info@yogaroomberkeley.com
- Enter the amount of your gift on the next screen and follow the instruction
• With a check
- payable to The Yoga Room, at 2530 San Pablo Avenue, Suite D, Berkeley, CA 94702
​
Wishing you peace and health,
Laura McCrea, Tina Kauffman, Elizabeth and Larry Strain, Elizabeth Costello, Bonnie Maeda, Rebecca Rohrkaste, Jackie Leventhal, Valerie Gutworth, Dorinda Nyberg, Margie Cohea, Maya Woodson-Turman
Memorial Day Weekend Intensive
with Debbie Gilman and Gay White
​
Saturday & Sunday, May 23-24 | $220
9am–12noon & 2–4pm
​
This late spring intensive will offer a reflective two-day practice embracing the joy of moving into backbends and twists while also nurturing a deep sense of stillness through pranayama and restorative yoga. In the morning classes we will focus on active practices for dynamic work and the afternoons will be devoted to relaxing and going deeper into breathing and relaxation.
