Piedmont Yoga has MOVED from its old location in north Oakland and now presents our programs in venues across the East Bay! Piedmont Yoga has become known for our in-depth, comprehensive training programs and events that demonstrate our deep commitment to developing diverse generations of socially engaged, compassionate yoga teachers and students. Our programs appeal to both the beginning practitioner as well as advanced students who want to actively apply the principles and teachings of yoga to inform our actions and choices in the world. To ensure that yoga is shared with as many communities as possible, our trainings and events take place in several partner venues across the East Bay! Piedmont Yoga is not about "yoga as usual" - defined by a piece of real estate, pressured to increase prices, sell yoga merchandise, or promote yoga cultures that feel homogenous or exclusionary, all the things that yoga studios are often forced to eventually do in order to "make the numbers work" in a market-driven, commercialized economic model. Instead, we realized that the most vital, exciting and compelling aspect of Piedmont Yoga is our shared commitment to practicing yoga as a tool for effective social engagement and the building of compassionate communities. Piedmont Yoga is "out in the world," taught rigorously by gifted, caring and attentive teachers. In that spirit, Piedmont Yoga invites you to join us in our evolution of yoga away from the rarified. Let's create a new, actively engaged, more equitable, more diverse, creative and vibrant future for yoga, together.
