yoga for any budget

Austin's only *DONATION-BASED* studio is opening this Saturday, MAY 23rd. Named for both a Thom York song (of Radiohead fame) and a best-selling non-fiction book, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, the goal of the Black Swan Yoga is to make yoga accessible to all, regardless of economic status or yoga experience.

I am thrilled to be a part of this innovative studio. Many yoga studios in Austin and across the US are prohibitively expensive for regular folk, charging $15-20 for a drop-in class, or requiring you to put forth a large chunk of cash for a multiple class card. This is an outrage that discourages many from starting or continuing to practice regularly at a studio -- especially in the current economic downturn.

At Black Swan, there is the freedom to donate what you can afford and still have access to the amazing teachings of yoga and meditation. The studio is spacious, clean and stylish; the location is central; the classes are diverse and frequent. It is located at 1114 West 5th Street, two blocks west of Lamar.

I hope to see you there soon! I will be teaching on Saturdays from noon to 1:30 and Mondays, 4:00-5:00 and 5:30-6:30. See studio website and schedule.
