What is Yoga Mob? Yoga Mob is a space; in fact it is now two and growing. Yoga Mob is a community. Yoga Mob is a part of the growing movement towards donation based classes in the Bay Area. Yoga Mob is located in a 4000 sq. ft. live/work warehouse at 3359 Cesar Chavez at Mission. Yoga Mob II is located at 712 Tehama in SOMA. These spaces are provided to qualified instructors at no charge. Due to the lack of overhead, donation based classes can be offered to the yoga community for as much or as little as one is moved to donate. For those of us who practice regularly but are on a limited budget, community spaces like these are an invaluable resource. Yoga Mob members are notified of upcoming classes through email. The date, time and teacher’s bio are included in each email. Just show up at the designated time and experience affordable, spontaneous classes in a fun and funky environment.

What is Donation Yoga? Donation yoga is a growing movement in reaction to the commodification of the asanas, the physical practices, of yoga. The asanas, as part of a whole, cultivates radiant health, peace, and happiness in one’s life. Maximum realization of these qualities comes from regular practice. Unfortunately, many yoga practitioners or aspiring practitioners are unable to afford studio memberships or expensive drop-in classes on a regular basis. With the high price of rent and other overhead costs, it is understandable that many studios must charge these fees, but it does not change the fact that this is prohibitive to many. Home practice is an option, but the motivation and camaraderie of practicing with a community is lost. Donation yoga centers have been appearing across the Bay Area in order to provide an affordable yoga option. The belief that many donation yoga proponents hold is that the majority of us are honest and generous and will contribute what truly fits our lifestyles. Yoga Mob is a donation yoga community center. Because the Yoga Mob space is an artists’ warehouse, the overhead costs are covered by the residents who share the vision of affordable yoga. Join today and experience the spirit of spontaneity and open-handed community.
