This group is dedicated to helping people in the Martinez and Pleasant Hill area find and connect with people who are interested in yoga, meditation, and other forms of wellness. This list is not only for students but also for teachers and (at least in my case) studio owners.

Our meet-up group’s hope is to create a safe space for women to practice yoga with other women in the most limitless ways possible. Clothes can be limiting, in a physical, emotional and spiritual sense: Physically, the clothes limit the way we move.  Clothes are limiting.

Practicing yoga nude liberates your body, and doing it with other women heightens your sense of …

If you want to feel alive and deepen your realized connection with the Redwoods you will feel the Redwoods say THANK YOU for your exhale by giving you …
