What is Yoga Popular?

 

 

Yoga Popular is a movement dedicated to providing high-quality yoga to all people within our community in Brownsville. It exists to challenge the elitist, exclusive model of yoga that has been adopted in the West by offering donation-based classes that are accessible to people from every economic strata. We operate with a no-pressure system of payment meaning that if you cannot afford the $5 recommended donation, then there is no requirement for you to pay. Everyone who is intent on practicing is welcome- ALWAYS! This is the mission of Yoga Popular.

Bebhinn Rae has been studying yoga since 2004 on a personal basis and received her 200-hr yoga teacher certification from the International Yoga Federation (IYF) in 2010 from Magic Pond Yoga in Seoul, South Korea. She studied under the instruction of Ron Katwijk, Secretary of the IYF in the tradition of Raja Yoga for six months. After departing Korea, she moved in with the Satchidananda Ashram located in Yogaville, Virginia where she participated in the Living Yoga Training Program. There she practiced living a yogic lifestyle in a monastic setting, refining her craft, studying yoga literature, eating and preparing pure food, and participating in daily hatha, meditation, karma yoga and study sessions. She has since taught in cooperative settings for free in Virginia and New York City to individuals and small, intimate groups.
