The passion to share bilingual yoga came from the desire to make the practice of Yoga accessible. There are communities that traditionally have not been exposed to these teachings\, but that would resonate with them if shared in their native language. \nEn Español: \nÚnete a nosotros para una clase de Yoga Asana para principiantes. Por favor\, traiga una esterilla de yoga o toalla\, agua y cualquier manta u otros apoyos que le gustaría durante su práctica. Esta clase incluirá un calentamiento de toda el cuerpo\, posturas de yoga\, ejercicios de respiración y será accesible para todas las edades.

La pasión por compartir el yoga bilingüe surgió del deseo de hacer accesible la práctica del Yoga. Hay comunidades que tradicionalmente no han estado expuestas a estas enseñanzas\, pero que resonarían con ellas si se compartieran en su lengua materna. \nQuestions?
