Hosh Yoga is celebrating it’s two year anniversary. As a matter of fact we are combining two very important dates. April 29th (2009) – date of foundation Hosh Yoga as a Not-For-Profit organization and July 1st (2010) – date of actual opening of the doors of our studio @ 55 Nassau in Brooklyn Greenpoint. Started simply from an idea, our founders have invested their hearts into this project and now we have an amazing space and service that we can share with you every day. For some brief history click on our video to the right.

We have come a long way and it was possible only because of you – our community. We would like to take this opportunity to remind all of you that only through generosity of your hearts we are still able to keep our doors open. So it’s about time we had a FUNdraiser! Raffle with great products and services is to commence, music to be enjoyed, drinks to be poured, laughter to be had. Join in.

To make this fundraiser a success we need:

• for you to come and bring your friends!

• to spread the word to anyone you know who might want to donate: your employer, your close celebrity friends, your mom

• We’ll also be holding a raffle at the fundraiser. If you have any skills, goods, or services you’d be interesting in donating to the raffle please contact us as soon as possible. (info (at) hoshyoga.org)

• Hosh Yoga is not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization and can provide you a receipt of charitable donation for your tax purposes

Where: MyMoon 184 N. 10th St

When: Tuesday, June 21st 5-8pm

Interviews and staged class

Hey Folks

Happy President’s day! I want to thank you for being so supportive of Hosh and continuing to provide help to grow it. As most of you know we are attempting to make a video about Hosh, so we can raise awareness and hopefully raise some funds. We have some professional help donated for doing this video and we are trying to make the best out of it!

You can do one or both!

——————

If you are doing interviews for us (We hope some of you will!)

Interview shoot on Saturday February 26th from 7pm to 9pm. Some sample questions prompted from you on camera will be:

Why is Hosh important to you? What role does it play in your life?

Why do you see Hosh as important to the community? How has it improved or changed the community?

What do you see as unique to Hosh?

How would you like to see Hosh grow? As a non-profit? As a yoga-studio?

Why would you encourage someone to support Hosh?

Please wear something that doesn’t have logos or striped patterns. Also the color of the shirt/t-shirt/blouse/etc shouldn’t be too bright (all white) or too dark (all black) for camera to get a better footage.

—————–

Staged class shoot on Sunday February 27th from 8pm to 9pm. This will be a demo class with us possibly moving through some short sequences for camera. Yoga sequence itself will not take more than 30 minutes total, with all the setup and moving around in between it will be less of a continuous flow and more of a breakdown of its parts. Please do not worry about performing to some kind of standard. We love your practice the way it is and that’s what we want to show!

Namaste

Autumn happenings

Hi Hoshies!

So just a few announcements as we bring in the fall season.

October 2nd Hosh will be hosting our first monthly music night. This Saturday from 7-9pm there will be live music, teachers will be available for questions, and you’ll be able to meet some of your fellow students and neighbors in a warm and casual atmosphere. The music will be performed by Caroline and Caroline, two lovely ladies; Caroline Freeman on vocals and Caroline Ritson on harp. They consider their music experimental folk, playing songs that are basically mellow girl jams. It will also act as a fundraiser for us to help generate the necessary funds to remodel Studio 2 and expand classes. Admission will be $7 and the event is BYOB.

So come and bring friends, drinks and a smile to enjoy some great company and great music.
These events will be the first Saturday of each month, so if you or someone you know would be interested in performing in the future please contact Yuuki, yuuki@hoshyoga.org.

So what is Hosh planning on doing with our Space?
Hosh plans to complete renovations to Studio 2 so that we can expand our class opportunities. As soon as we complete this phase, we will be adding Fundamentals classes, and eventually Restorative and Explorer yoga classes. We will also be making some changes to Studio 1 to allow for access to Studio 2. Please bear with us as we complete construction. We hope to have all construction completed by the end of November.

In the meantime, we will be offering a Fundamentals Workshop Saturday October 16th from 12:00pm-2:00pm. $17 if you pre-register and $20 at the door. Co-taught by Hamid and Becca. The Fundamentals Workshop will focus on developing an understanding of basic poses, asanas, pranayama, and a brief introduction into yogic philosophy, To sign up please email becca@hoshyoga.org or sign up at the studio. If you know anyone who has been wanting to try yoga, but is intimidated by an Open Level class, please send them this way.

Also, because of our planned increase in classes, you may have noticed several new teachers at Hosh. We welcome Lisa Wall, Robyn Polo, Alexandra Moga, Emilia Hallquist, Lou Kosak, Caroline Beach, and Christina Rufin to Hosh Yoga!

Thanks to all students who came out for Park(ing) Day NYC!
We hope to see you this Saturday night at our 1st Music and Meet!

Becca and all of us at Hosh Yoga
