the east end zen vibe (a.k.a. "the eez classes"):

We breathe. We groove. We chill~ax. Then we drink tea. Our ultimate vision is to create a community that promotes social interaction and consciousness among active/athletic minded, spirited and bodied yogis. We encourage a lifestyle of, "takin' your practice beyond the mat". We don't just do this stuff... we live this stuff! This ain't yer granny's yoga. These are kick ass vibrations, that might just kick yer ass!!! Our classes are hot, they get sweatty, they will challenge you, they are completely accessible to all levels and they are just plain ole fun!!! If you dig the meditation of movement... if you totally get down on the stillness found deep within each breath... now's the time to set your intentions, make the commitment to yourself and join us in this magical, blissful revolution! Please come! Try it the EEZ stylee!!!

 

the EEZ class schedule:

Check back often as our schedule continues to slowly evolve in an effort to meet the sangha's needs.

the EEZ class spots:

Our community drop in classes are home based for the fall, class size is way smaller, so you gotta hit us or call us for current indoor location. See above for our fall schedule.( yep, we're still groovin')


the EEZ class styles (affectionately called a "spicy power" yoga):

The Sweat and Serenity Sessions (90 mins):

Modern athletic training unites with traditional yoga in a dance of breath. A steady yet vigorous flow of postures challenge and strengthen physically and mentally while tapping into the inner spirit. Get hot, get sweatty, be challenged... All levels welcome.

The GlowFlow/Sunset/Sunrise Series (75ish mins):

A relatively gentle slow flow based series of postures will open the heart and calm the mind... postures dance with breath and body awareness as we strengthen and shape muscles, improve flexibility, increase circulation and enhance inner calm. All levels welcome.

The Moonlight/Morning/Midday Medley (1 hour(ish)):

A big dose of self-serve "chill-axin". A mellow way to round off an evening or even a gentle way to jump start the upcoming day. This hour(ish) long class is a medley of zazen sitting meditation followed by pranayama (breathing exercises) which lead to a blissful asana practice (mostly restorative postures), topped off with a deep relaxation. All levels welcome.

 

the regular EEZ class cost:

All drop-in classes are by donation (suggested @ $10)*.

NO BLISS PASSES AVAILABLE FOR NOW (just drop in fee/by donation).

We also have East End Zen Bliss Passes (A Chi Hit = A Class):

1 chi hit drop in fee is by donation*, suggested @ $10
6 chi hit bliss pass $55
9 chi hit bliss pass $80
12 chi hit bliss pass $100

Get one (1) bonus chi hit when you buy your first bliss pass.

By donation is sometimes a somewhat foriegn and bizarre concept to truly grasp. Basically what you give (bring to the mat) is what you'll get from the class. The thing about "by donation" is that sometimes it will feel like too much and sometimes it won't feel like enough, the most important thing is just to be honest with(in) yourself. P.S. -- no one is watching!

Bliss passes bonuses: completely shareable, 100% transferable, guaranteed to induce absolute bliss.

 

 

Always a portion of all East End Zen drop in donation fees goes towards charity. We also will always (not just @ christmas) accept non perishable food items, for the food bank as a part of (or all of) your East End Zen drop in donation fee.

Warrior Boot Camp!!!:

Do the dew as basic training partners with our early morning waking warrior dance. It's outside... it's intense... it's focussed and it's hard core... Enlist in this yoga workout that uses your body, your breath and props (yoga blocks, belts, medicine balls, weights etc.) to take your practice to the next level. We're up doin' our thing in the crisp mornin' air (6:00 am-7:00 am) and we just give 'er... goin' deep, breathin' hard then takin' on our days... what could be better?

Find a day that will work for you, sign up for your session... set your alarm and buckle up, this is going to be some crunked up yoga... deepen your practice, get strong, get lean, work your core, increase flexibility and heighten mental clarity. Whether you're training for a sport, toning for the beach or just wanna kick up your practice warrior boot camp is for you!!! These sessions will meet once a week and the session intro rate is $75 for 6 classes or for $90 get your boot camp + 3 anytime drop in classes (during your 6 class session)... you can pre register to secure your spot or drop in (no passes). Feelin' like a big time warrior and want to do more than one session ask about "the full meal deal".

 

20 day challenge: 4 weeks 4 yourself, inside, outside, upside down. (off for the summer)

For twenty days in we, waking warriors, will practice each morning from Monday to Friday @ 7:15 am (sharp). This is a a rare and sacred opportunity to challenge (if only for a moment) your practice, on and beyond the mat, and to fully commit (if only for a breath) to the essence which is YOU. Each class will take us through a different exploratory theme, a dose of dharma and a splash of karma.

Take this time, to delve into the depths of (inner) strength, experience the sweetness or pure sweat, to the revel in the power of absolute release and to bath in the beauty of deep de-toxing. Along with our practice, each week we will do a group event together, perhaps a hike, rock climbing, tobogganing... (additional costs may apply for events). We will close off the series with a celebration @ the HoodRatz:StreetZen: 4th Friday Fe(a)st (all welc(om)e). The series will cost $125 (excluding f(e)ast, and weekly group events).

These sessions are pre register, you must pre register to secure your spot in what has the potential to be a powerful practice of personal transformation.
