the back studio

hamid — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:18:03 +0000

We have finally finished our back studio and it’s open to folks to freely move in and out. The last stage of the project would be prepping with matching lights and breaking down the wall, but that will happen when we have enough funds and our landlord completely clears it. For now there are couple of before and after photos.

To any students who came to the 10 am class on 8/30/10, we apologize for any inconvenience. Our teacher fell sick and was not available to open the space. We will be continuing with our new schedule from here on out.

You picked ‘em so we hope to see you there!

• 3pm Saturday classes will be at our space, 55 Nassau. Park classes will be put on hold.

KARMA YOGA! Volunteering Opportunities with Hosh (from chalk drawing to architectural drawing)

• Do you know how to write? Do you have nostalgic memories of chalking up your sidewalk after a long game of hopscotch? Or long for it? Hosh wants your help to advertise our space in the neighborhood via a Chalk Attack! So if you have interest in helping us guerilla advertise via chalk writing on Greenpoint’s sidewalks, please let us know! Email info (at) hoshyoga.org.

• We have plans to expand our space into the next room and are also looking for the skills of a structural engineer or architect with appropriate certifications to help assess our plans to remove the dividing wall. If you are said person, or know of one who would be interested, please send us an email at info (at) hoshyoga.org.

• Along the same line, we also need a few good folks to help us clean, paint, and build a bit in the 2nd room. If you have some elbow grease or carpentry skills, we’d love to have you for a couple hours (or more!)

Thanks so much for being part of the Hosh community!

Namasté!

Becca and the rest of the Hosh gang

Welcome to your space

This is what it looks like. A little over a year ago, we started teaching Saturdays in the park, then last October found temporary shelter in the basement of a gym. We grounded ourselves, built momemtum and have become a staple of the Greenpoint/Williamsburg community. With your help and the help of our teachers we have now found a home here at 55 Nassau and will continue to become a more integral part of this community. Making a yoga space happen doesn’t get any more grassroots style than this.

Your energy is what really helps all of us turn this space into a yoga studio. See you soon.

Hamid

Namasté.

Big News – New Space

We have BIG news.

We will be moving. Oh yes, Hosh is getting our own space. YOU are getting your own space to do yoga in. In two short weeks! Below you will find what you need to know as well as how you can help us make this happen!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

The new space is located at the corner of Guernsey and Nassau, only 4 blocks from where we are now and right next to McCarren park. The official address is 55 Nassau Ave., however our entrance will be the 2nd door around the corner on Guernsey.Also, because we have open access to our space we will be extending all our class times from 60 to 75 minutes, modifying our weekday start times a bit, and adding later classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. Hopefully this way we will be able to accommodate everyone’s schedules better!

Our new schedule beginning JULY 1st at 55 Nassau will be

Monday through Friday: 6:30-7:45pm *NEW*
Monday through Thursday 8:00-9:15pm *NEW*
Saturday 3:00-4:15pm in McCarren Park (unless it rains) and 5:00-6:15pm
Sunday 3:00-4:15pm and 5:00-6:15pm

For the remainder of June, classes will continue to be held at current times at Otom. After July 1st all classes will be held at 55 Nassau Avenue.
