Having tasted the sweetness of inner solitude and calmness, the one who lives by the Law is free from fear and suffering. It is joy to see such awakened ones, and to live with them in happiness. To travel with the un—awakened makes the journey long and hard and is as painful as traveling with an enemy. But the company of the wise is as pleasant as meeting with friends. Follow the wise, the intelligent, and the awakened. Follow them as the moon follows the path of the stars.
— Dhamapada

How much experience do I need?
This is an all levels class. New students as well as those that have been practicing for a while are welcome to attend. Because this class is gentle, it is particularly suited for newer students and those with physical limitations. Please be sure to introduce yourself the teacher at your first class.

I have an injury or a medical condition. Is it safe for me to practice?
Because this is a gentle yoga practice, it is safe for most conditions. It is important, however, to discuss the class with your doctor so she or he can advise you. It is also essential that you inform the teacher of any issues you might have so that poses can be modified if need be.

How do I find the class once I arrive at the church?
The class meets on the labyrinth which is situated in the nave (back of the cathedral). Once you enter the church, you will see the large marble labyrinth embedded on the floor toward the back (East side) of the church.

What should I wear?
You will want to wear loose, comfortable clothes that allow for easy movement. Remember that the cathedral can be rather cool so be sure dress accordingly. Many people also bring a blanket with which to cover themselves during deep relaxation.

Is there parking at the church?
There is limited street parking in the Nob Hill neighborhood. There is a parking garage at the church, however. The entrance to the Garage is located on Taylor Street to the right of the cathedral steps. [Parking Rates]

What is an appropriate donation? Your generosity helps us to offer yoga to everyone regardless of the number of pennies in their piggy bank. If you have a little extra, please give a little more. If times are financially difficult, please contribute only what feels comfortable to you. Your donations support Grace Cathedral, the teacher and our musicians on the nights they share their music. As a general guide only, the drop-in rate for a yoga class at most yoga studios in San Francisco is between $15 and $20 dollars, however no one is ever turned away because of money. What do I need to bring? Please be sure to bring a yoga mat. Many people also like to bring yoga props such as a strap and a block to support them in their practice.
