Yoga can be stressful and confusing for a new student. What is Yoga? You want me to put my what, WHERE? What is the difference between all these different types of classes – what do they do?

Our “Intro to Yoga” workshop is appropriate for students that want to touch on the fundamentals of yoga.

After this workshop, practitioners will understand the basics of yoga; an overview of yoga styles, lineages, and traditions; what to expect in a class; the benefits of practice, and personal guidance through basic postures that form the foundation of asana practice.

Participants are encouraged to ask questions, share specific topic interests, and raise a hand for adjustments or alternate poses.

Dress comfortably, move gently, and bring an open mind and self-compassion. All bodies and abilities welcome!

MONDAYS & WEDNESDAYS 5:30PM - 6:30PM

Artist Preet Srivastava brings to canvas her truth about life and love, identity and identification, ethnic pride and cultural divide. She finds meaning and prophecy in channeling interpretations of spirit in nature, iconic reflections and cultural discourse through oil, water color and mixed media.

“The paintings are beyond me. Each stroke reflects guidance that is both personal and universal. It’s my connection to the divine universe and everything in it.”

Preet’s love of improvisational music, multicultural Indian-American upbringing, relationship with nature, fascination with the human body, and classical training are reflected in the continuous intersection of sound, culture, landscape, figure, abstract and tradition. The mastery evident throughout Preet’s work is the result of inherent talent, years of training and a lifelong commitment to refining technique. Preet’s natural inclination towards art was evident as a child who drew on library books, closet walls, leather sofas and wooden cabinets. Her earliest training was in the form of imitating her father sketching figures and painting landscapes. However, it wasn’t until she attended The Art Academy of San Francisco that she found her voice in the impressionistic and expressionistic work of Rembrandt and Frida Kahlo. Preet uses art to to express the cultural identity and spiritual vision that results from ancestral heritage overlapping with modern lifestyles and personal experiences in a way that the current vocabulary can not yet describe. The work of Kahlo and Rembrandt further inspired her lifelong commitment to giving voice to the beauty, violence, spirituality, wisdom and healing of her existence that is shared universally.

“I paint what I see. Looking for timeless in the temporal, infinite in the finite, and transcendence in the immanent. As it turns out, it is the same thing others are searching for as well. The only difference being, I painted it.”

There are those who pursue art as a profession, and those who realize they are artists. The artist realizes that art serves a sacred purpose to remind us that a deeper meaning exists; “there can be no images of light without contrasting shadows” - Yogananda. This is the world of Preet, this is what she sees and that is what she paints.-- Vikas Srivastava

Preet's motto: "I am an evolving idea, ideal, identity -- identical to no one."
