New offering CREATIVE DREAM WORK with Amanda Lovejoy Street, Fri, March 8th / 8:30 PM - 10:00 PM Be guided into a contained and relaxed meditative state to work creatively with the unconscious in the body, exploring impulses as they arise, and experimenting with lesser known or un-lived aspects of self. This wildly experimental practice allows us to bridge the gap between the unconscious and conscious self, develop intuition, find freedom from habitual beliefs and patte...rns, connect to creativity in a non linear form and uncover new depths of self that are longing to be heard. This deeply healing and creative work is rooted in the work of Carl Jung, Marion Woodman, Kim Gillingham and Sandra Seacat. Everyone is welcome. No need to have specific dream material available. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a journal. BY DONATION | SUGGESTED $30 | No one turned away for lack of funds. Call the studio to register at whatever amount is appropriate for you:) (213) 375-4505 Gather every other month / 2nd Fridays / 8:30-10:30PM

L A R A Although Yogala is, has been and will continue to be held by so many, there are few who have given to me and to Yogala as much as @Lara Elliot. Lara managed the studio for the past five and a half years. Today is her last day in that role. Whether you are aware of it or not, we at Yogala have all been touched by Lara's wisdom, compassion and elegance. In return, we feel enormous respect and gratitude. It has only been the deepest pleasure to work with Lara and great... luck that Yogala has been graced with her management and love for so long. Fortunately, Lara will remain a light, friend, fellow practitioner, healer, designer and mentor in our community. Lara also continues to offer the most beautiful and effective Integrated Healing Sessions as well as Reiki Trainings and Attunements. If you haven't had a chance to experience her or her offerings yet, I assure you, it will be a transformative blessing.

Thursdays 6:15-7:30PM / Li Pallas leads DONATION / Yogala for the Emotional Body Formerly Yoga for Mental Wellbeing, this class examines methods for exploring emotional wellness in the shape of a gentle yoga sequence. Begin with a confidential sharing circle, offering each attendee the opportunity to share their current emotional experience, where they sense tension in the body, and what their individual energy level is for that particular day. All sharing is optional, in...cluding names and pronoun disclosure. We pause to consider the relative consensus that draws us into the room on this particular evening, which is then articulated back to the class as a meditative offering in which yogic practice becomes a vessel for exploring and understanding the interconnectedness of emotional healing modalities rooted in the belief that bodies in motion heal themselves. The class is transaffirming and practices the art of "queering" yoga: poses and sequences are intensionally bizarre, taking us out of our normal routines, and into a more embodied awareness. Sequences are both staged and interpretative, allowing some time for free movement as well as adaptations for the beginner to the advanced practitioner, offering opportunities to integrate physical and emotional knowing of our individual needs, limits, and strengths. The class is open to all by donation and is intentionally designed for the broad spectrum of body experiences. In these ways and more, Yoga for the Emotional Body serves as a weekly reminder that as we hold space for emotional discomfort and difference of ourselves and others we develop an intersectional connectivity that liberates the self as well as enables us to further set each other free!

Every Thursday, 6:15pm-7:30pm - Yoga for the Emotional Body by Donation with Li Pallas <3 Li Pallas came to yoga in a journey to become more fully embodied. As such, they are deeply invested in making the theory of traditional yoga more accessible to a diversity of body types and genders. Li believes yoga should feel deeply pleasurable and constructs sequences to maximize the benefit achieved by the widest group of people, always ensuring that the foundation is laid early in... the practice so that their students are sure to succeed in more difficult postures. First we root and strengthen, then we open ourselves up. Li is passionate about the emotional body and how building space and lightness in the body through yoga creates a nest for emotional wellbeing. They have developed a long and interlocking understanding honoring many traditions of moving through the emotional body such as the meridian and organ network of classical Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic doshas, seasonal and astrological concerns, western scientific visceral muscle correlations, and the subtle body. They always allow some time for students to develop inner wisdom, perhaps by clarifying and setting an intention or sankalpa, as well as exploring the benefits of moving subtly and intuitively: refining our proprioception by exercising mindful choice; pausing to absorb and adapt to how this change feels. As there is no one body type or means to express gender, Li does not assume their students pronouns or offer gendered alignment or meditation cues. Instead they talk a lot about bodies, what might benefit different types of bodies, and offer investigations into body positioning to test out in case a particular alignment feels better, and empowering students to choose the safest option for themselves.
