With over 30 diverse yoga classes a week, the Yoga Institute at Pacific Cultural Center is a community yoga studio in the Seabright Neighborhood that has been serving yoga students of all levels, ages, and abilities for over 20 years. The Institute offers yoga classes based on both ancient traditions and modern adaptations. Yoga is a holistic science for increased health, well-being and inner peace. The institute, as well as Pacific Cultural Center was founded by students of Baba Hari Dass with his support and guidance.
Based on the several thousand year old system of Ashtanga Yoga, our classes emphasize triputi, union of body, mind and breath. Practicing asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing practices) and meditation inspires a sense of presence, calmness and peace of mind. All asana classes at the Yoga Institute emphasize safe alignment, mindfulness, and breath awareness. Rather than forcing, we allow the body to assume the postures through a conscious, relaxed effort.
