Next Wednesday night March 20th, celebrate WMC (that’s Winter Music Conference for the yogi folks) at Buck 15‘s benefit party for Yoga Gangsters! The casual lounge is located at 437 Lincoln Road Miami Beach and admission is FREE (yes, that means NO COVER). Proceeds from all sales of the super affordable drinks will go towards Yoga Gangster’s non-profit programming helping us to continue bringing more free yoga programs to inner city youth. (Now that’s a good excuse to party during the week) The Deep House sounds will be provided by Mr. Wolfe, DJ Stell*R (also an official YG teacher!) and Mr. RX. The party’s from 9 p.m.- 5 a.m. so even the early risers have no excuses :) See you there and if you spot a YG shirt, come say HI!

These days the medical community is becoming much more aware of how yoga can affect both health and well-being. Yoga is truly one of the best preventative medicines gaining popularity, so we were thrilled when asked to educate the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine’s staff and students at their community health fair last week. Programming Manager, Natalya Krayeva and volunteer Linda Gonzalez had the opportunity to answer questions from the community and share about our upcoming training offerings for those seeking to learn more about yoga and trauma.

When we were invited by City Year Miami to share yoga with middle school students on a Saturday morning, we knew that we would be meeting some pretty exceptional kids. We had such a blast participating in the Young Heroes “Health & Fitness Day” where we taught how yoga is a great way to workout your body, mind and spirit. The youth here were eager to learn and many even remembered some poses from our participation in last year’s event. Check out the photos below and click here to see the entire photo album on Facebook. Class led by Marisol Tamez, Paola Pinto & Sarah Clegg.
