The School for Unlearning, Non-doing, and Absoulute Being

New Classes, News & Events: 

Hot Latin Nights at CYS 

 Fridays!

Capoeira Yoga Flow: 

1st and 3rd Fridays, 6:00  (and the occasional 5th Friday)

This class is a combination of Power Yoga and Capoeira (see below). You will be surprised how many Capoeira maneuvers resemble yoga postures while also optimizing one of the key ideas behind Power Yoga: Heat! Capoeira Yoga Flow will make you sweat - a lot - and this is great for getting deeper into the postures. Furthermore it will prepare you for the real thing (Capoeira); which also happens to be the class that follows at7:00. (See below) 

*Hot Salsa Yoga: 

2nd and 4th Fridays, 6:00.

First we warm up with some Basic Yoga Asana, then we learn the basics of Salsa Dancing while simultaneously getting a fun aerobic workout. Furthermore, we learn how to connect with music and others in creative flow. The interplay between focus and flow while attenuating to another person is actually a deep practice; everything becomes yoga when you learn how to connect! 

(*Hot only implies that you will sweat by your own efforts. We will not be heating up the room.)

Capoeira:  

Every Friday at 7:00 & Wednesdays at 7:30

An Afro-Brazilian art form, a fluid, rhythmic martial art; a ritual; a dance of deceptive vulnerability, wit, and grace. The intricate movements of Capoeira weave tradition, history, spirituality, and philosophy into a uniquely beautiful "game". Probably the most challenging aerobic, flexibility and acrobatic form of art/exercise you will ever find!

Fees:

The fee for Hot Salsa Yoga and Capoeira Yoga Flow is the same as it is for most yoga classes, and therefore you can use your yoga class package if you have one. However the Capoeira class is a lesser fee: $7 per class or $25 for a 5 class package.  

"INDIA,

the one land that all men desire to see,

and having seen once

by even a glimpse,

would not give that glimpse for the shows

of all the rest of the globe combined."

~Mark Twain

Discussion Groups

YOGA BOOK CLUB is going to take a short break

and then return as

YOGIC MOVIE CLUB or maybe you could call it Conscious Cinema. Either way, a whole movie will not be watched in one sitting, but broken up so there is time for discussion. 

Details to come

2nd & 4th Tuesdays

Baha'i Firesides  

Men are not prisoners of fate,

but only prisoners of their own minds. -FDR

If you are a bit older you might remember gathering around the radio for President Roosevelt's "Fireside Chats". He got the idea from Baha'i Firesides that he had attended and influenced him greatly. These informal discussions give the Baha'i perspective on many subjects, such as the unity of the world's religions, harmony of science and religion & Baha'i remedies for today's planetary ills.

2nd  & 4th Tuesdays  ~  6:30p - 7:45ish

*

Some munchables are provided at both discussion groups,

but please feel free to bring something to share.

(No meat or alcohol please)

Inclement Weather 
Its pretty simple really. If the schools are closed in the CYS area then CYS will be closed as well.  If it is on the weekend we will post here on our website. However sometimes we are not able to post it in time; so if in doubt you can call us at 513-247-9642

NEVER LEAVE VALUABLES VISABLE IN YOUR CAR

Its been a while but from time to time cars have been broken into. Each and every time it has been a purse clearly visible sitting in the passenger seat.

Such is the unity of those Essences of Being, those Luminaries of infinite and immeasurable splendor!

Baha'i Writings

Wonderful funky atmosphere (it used to be an old Masonic Lodge and a lot of the accouterments were left to the present tennant). I came for the Yin Yoga (super stretching) class and was not disappointed. Will taught the class and it was tough but real authentic. He was humble, kindly, and very much an expert but without any arrogance and with a whole lot of caring. Yes, there were times when I thought I could not hold on but giving it the "old college try" paid off handsomely. I was a new woman the next day! Aches and pains large and small were erased,even tiny ones I had accommodated were lost! I am definitely making the CYS part of my weekly routine even if it is a little bit extra, it is so very worth it. Nice lineup of other teachers and styles there, too. Go and try it out, I think you will be impressed.
