October : Mudras + Fall News

Hello Friends,

Thank you for joining us in September. We hope you were able to learn and refine your practice of sun and lunar salutations. Salutations can be a great way to begin and end your day.

Welcome to October! With this new season, we have some fall changes to announce. Lia Hall will be teaching a yoga class at a community health center, Third Root in the Flatbush neighborhood on Tuesdays, check out her lovely new class.

Dig Yoga would like to formally welcome
Zarah Kravitz and Katrina De Wees to our Tuesday night workshop style class in Ft. Greene. Zarah, a certified hatha yoga instructor of Dharma Mittra and a active nutrition counselor will share her love of health and yoga with us at the Irondale. Katrina, an interdisciplinary artist working in the mediums of dance, theater and video will be creatively helping Dig Yoga offline/on. Aspiring yogi, she brings her love of body awareness and wellness to the dig community. Welcome Zarah and Katrina!

We are pleased to share, Dig Yoga is working with Citizen Schools this fall and introducing yoga to middle school children at the Urban Assembly of Arts and Letters at 225 Adelphi Street. Students will learn yoga theory and asanas (postures) and present to teachers and family members this December.



In October, we will focus on Mudras. These symbolic hand gestures are often used in yoga classes to help harmonize and balance. Mudras are believed to effect the energies of the body and seal in prana (life force). We will explore different mudras this month and discuss how they effect the body.
