Out Boulder Yoga - Saturdays & Mondays
|
|---|
 Ketul Arnold has been teaching yoga since 1974. He also trained in classical theatre and performed in many productions of Shakespeare as an actor and stage fighter. He now lives in Boulder, CO and after a 7 year introspection is now willing to teach again as a public service for the GLBT community and anyone else who might want to might share in the fun. Rasa yoga is the evolution of Ketul's life experience, and of the love and courage of those who were his students and and at the same time his most revered teachers. It is a gentle practice, great for beginners to advanced. There is no fee for the class, but if you choose to, a donation will be accepted. Join us for a time to meditate, relax, and find a connection to yourself and others. Our Saturday class takes place at Intercambio, 1:30 - 3 pm. Our Monday class takes place at First Congregational Church, 6:30 - 8pm. Contact Jen with questions.
