Yoga Potluck was created by two yoga teachers, Psalm Isadora and Aras Baskauskas, who wanted to provide a space to grow more community feeling and activities around yoga. The yoga classes are free, so that everyone is welcome to join. All are asked to bring food to share with the group, which is a great way to bond.
Inspiration:
Yoga should be like church, in that no one is turned away because of the cost. I grew up on a spiritual commune in northern california, where the most important event of the week was gathering on sunday nights to share a potluck. Some of my happiest childhood memories are of all the families gathering, sharing food and stories, sharing life together. Sharing is important, because we all have something unique to offer the collective, the "tribe".
When I travelled to India, I felt re-inspired by the communal living and dining at the ashrams. When I came back, Aras and I both had a strong desire to teach some yoga classes without financial attachment, and to create a place where we can share community, food and our lives together. Yoga is not just a 90-minute class or a personal practice, it is a way of being with ourselves and in relationship with the rest of the world. Yoga means union...our individual self with the higher Self...our individual self with the community. There are benefits which are only available by meditating and practicing alone, and benefits which are only available practicing in a sangha (group); balance comes from experiencing both.
We hope you will join us at the next Yoga Potluck and become part of the tribe. The only currency exchanged is LOVE, friendship and food.
Be happy, be free,
Psalm
