Each class contains a kriya (a series of coordinated movements, postures and breath work), mantra, meditation, and relaxation. Our intention for each class of Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, is to share this knowledge system in order to elevate the individual and improve the quality of life for all who attend. We will modify poses to best serve our bodies, develop the consciousness to become our own best teachers, and uplift each other.

Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga that is practiced sitting on a chair or using a chair for support during standing poses. Yoga is all about moving life force energy (called prana). When living energy reaches every part of our being we experience less pain, more relaxation, and a general state of well-being. Chair yoga helps increase flexibility, lung capacity, circulation, and strength, improves balance, and relieves stress. The class incorporates breathing exercises, stretching, and yoga postures.

Beginner Friendly - Emphasis on moving with the breath in a slow, conscious way: incorporates modified sun salutations, along with other standing and seated postures for increased flexibility, stamina, balance, and strength. The intention is to go slow enough for you to adjust your practice in a way that really fits for you.


Cost: $10 drop-in; $8 w/ a Lotus Center class card.

Emphasis on moving with the breath in a more continuous flow (and with less instruction): incorporates sun salutations, along with other standing and seated postures for increased flexibility, stamina, balance, and strength. This class is more vigorous than the Slow Flow class - recommended for those who have a regular yoga practice (or know how to modify their practice to fit their body) or for those who are familiar with yoga (or similar practices) and are in good physical condition. Intermediate level

In this Intermediate Hatha class we incorporate relaxation of the mind and body before and after pranayama and postures, which include sun salutations to warm and strengthen the body, followed by a series of traditional asanas with some intermediate level postures and variations. The practice is performed more slowly than in a vinyasa flow-style class. Having prior knowledge of yoga and being in moderately good physical condition helpful. Face mask optional.

Easiest. Join us for a journey of playfulness, breathing, and meditation with the practices of laughing, breathing and clapping. Each session is a bit different and is adapted to the folks who attend. Participants may be invited to enjoy laughter milkshakes, speak in gibberish, laugh in different styles, or play laughter games. The physical act of laughter can decrease stress hormones and provide many health benefits!

While the coronavirus pandemic is a once-in-a-lifetime event, it’s also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for growth. By undertaking a thorough examination of the recent changes in our world – and, most importantly, our own reaction to those changes – we have an opportunity to transform these times of COVID into a path of healing, growth, and awakening. No meditation experience is necessary. By donation.

During these times of great challenge and great opportunity, support and empower yourself with this powerful practice. Join Jeff Goin this Saturday for a guided meditation during which we draw on the healing, purification, and protection powers of the Healing Buddha.

Meditation . . . what a great way to start your day! Please join facilitator Jeff Goin for 15 minutes of unguided meditation, followed by 15 minutes of questions, discussion, and/or commentary. These gatherings are designed for people who are relatively new to meditation, and have an established, consistent meditation practice. For those who aspire to establish a consistent meditation program, but have not yet done so, please contact Jeff at info@LotusCenterSC.org.

Heart Conversations provides a safe container to share personal thoughts on topics many of us think about, but often don’t talk about. The sharing circles will follow a format similar to that of 12-step recovery meetings: All discussion is in confidence; personal sharing is encouraged; No “Cross Talking.”

All of the circle shares are held in the back garden of Light Art Space.
To access, please enter through the big gate (with the Light Art Space sign) on Arizona between Broadway and Spring Stree
