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!

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.

Spring is here and we are all excited about the change of pace and atmoshpere. With the warmth of spring comes all of the great benefits that will keep our minds healthy, our bodies youthful, and allow us to go deeper in our poses. While you’re at the studio, don’t hesitate to say hello and get to know your instructor. We are always happy to hear from you and love getting your input. We are looking forward to seeing all of you at McCarren Park once again this year. A starting date has not been set yet however once the weather is consistently warm enough we will let you know via Twitter, Facebook, and newsletter.

***SCHEDULE CHANGE!***

Beginning April 1st we will be changing our friday class time to 6:30pm. We will also have additional 5pm class on Saturdays and Sundays! Many of you requested more class times and weekends were the most requested times. We hope the new class times will help you fit yoga into your schedule.

Transportation Alternatives (T.A.) and Hosh Yoga

Hosh and T.A. will be collaborating this spring to help get TEAM T.A. psyched and ready to ride the NYC Century Bike Tour in September. TEAM TA consists of volunteers who have signed up to ride and fundraise for T.A. Their money will support T.A.’s advocacy work to make NYC’s streets more livable for pedestrians, cyclists and mass transit riders. Hosh will be instructing weekly cyclist-oriented yoga classes to TEAM T.A. members throughout April and May. If you’d like to join TEAM T.A. please visit http://www.nyccentury.org/teamta or email: molly at transalt.org to find out more information.
