Yoga is Dead - great podcast by two South Asian yoga teachers who are going to tell you who killed it, whether you want to hear it or not.

Nakshatras are the 27 star clusters through which the moon passes in its monthly orbit. The nakshatras in Vedic astrology have a greater impact on our daily life than the 12 constellations. Today's nakshatra is Uttara Phalguni, ruled by the deity Aryama, who witnesses our vows. This nakshatra represents love and friendship, so fitting for Valentine's Day. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Yoga East was founded in 1974 by Maja Trigg (1927-2016) and incorporated as a non-profit educational organization in 1978. Yoga East has expanded over the years to multiple locations and more classes and styles of yoga, but our corporate philosophy and mission has remained the same: To make the benefits of yoga available to all in the Greater Louisville community.
Yoga East is a traditional yoga school. We are not a gym or workout facility. We are committed to teaching the authentic yoga tradition, as it has been taught for centuries.
Our Non-Profit Mission
To make the benefits of yoga available to everyone regardless of age, fitness level or ability to pay class fees.
We fulfill our non-profit mission by offering low-cost Yoga Classes, scholarships and work-study opportunities to many students. We make yoga available to people who might otherwise never have access to its benefits. The feedback we get from participants in these programs is positive as they begin to experience the uplifting nature of yoga acting in their lives.
