Free Yoga!!

This group was started in the early summer of 2010. Yoga can be an expensive venture, and I firmly believe that there should be some possibilities to explore and enjoy this ancient practice without the financial strain. My vision was to create a place where people could come and share the experience, integrate yoga in to their lives, learn something new, and have some fun.

The classes (2-3 per week, on average) really are Free. There are opportunities to donate to the group or to local charities, but this is NEVER a requirement. There are occasional times when Paid Classes are offered, when there is something fun and exciting going on, but again, it is always the members choice.

I believe in the power of community, and that when people come together to benefit the greater good, beautiful things will happen.

I believe in the power of Yoga to heal, strengthen, and nourish the body and the mind.

I believe in a lighthearted and open approach to the experience this group has and will offer to all of the yogis and yoginis who join.

Since it began, Free Yoga has expanded exponentially. There are now 5 (and counting) beautiful individuals who teach the classes for free (all are Certified Yoga Instructors, FYI). There are over 100 members who participate and contribute in so many ways. We are constantly in search of new venues and opportunities to make the Free Yoga group better every day. We have some really exciting possibilities coming in the future and welcome anyone with a love, curiosity, and openness to what this group can bring into their lives.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions!!

New Policy on No-Shows:

If you sign up for a class, you are expected to show up. It is incredibly rude and inconvenient to the teachers who are offering these classes for free. Regular yoga classes in Ft Collins generally cost $10-15 per class and you are being offered this for free. Please respect the offering by attending when you say you will. So. If you sign up for a class and do not attend three times, you will be removed from the group. I don't want to have to keep track of this, and it makes more work for me, but since it is a continuing issue, this is how it has to be. Please remember to sign in before class, as this is how I will be tracking no-shows. It sounds ugly, but has to be done. I welcome any feedback on this!

Disclaimer: By attending events sponsored by this group, you are agreeing to the following:

I understand that yoga includes physical movements as well as an opportunity for relaxation, stress re-education and relief of muscular tension. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body, adjust the posture and ask for support from the teacher. I will continue to breathe smoothly.

Yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. Yoga is not recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions. I affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to practice yoga. I hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or hereafter may have against Be Here Now Massage.
