Love Is A Verb: Our Favorite Free & Donation Based Yoga Classes in the Bay Area
We’ve always envisioned SKIN as a collective celebration and sharing of culture, art, music, movement and ideas. As we move through life, a reminder to love the SKIN we’re in. We believe in the power of connectedness and community well being and music that heals. Beyond a “meet me at the club, it’s going down” type of mentality, we genuinely aim to uplift folks through experiences that touch the heart, make the body smile and that have the ability to inspire.
In the spirit of sharing, I’ve taken a little time to compile a small list of some of our favorite FREE & DONATION BASED YOGA CLASSES in the immediate Bay Area.
The ancient roots of yoga lie in sacred practices from India (Ashtanga) and Egypt (Kemetic). A method of healing, breath work and mindfulness, Yoga was kept accessible to everyone. In modern times, many people feel they can’t practice as much as they’d like due to financial circumstances. Deepest gratitude to all the studios and instructors that help keep the practice of yoga accessible to all!
