Fees

Classes are free with the option to donate using the YM class cards. All proceeds will be given to Bahay Dalangin, a nonprofit organization that provides spaces where one may find ‘pahingalay’ that leads to compassionate reaching out to all beings, especially the marginalized. Pahinga (resting) in mindful breathing (hinga) is an offering (alay) that liberates in the midst of chaos.

To join our classes, please email info@yogamanila.com or SMS / Viber us at +63 917 522 9642 (YOGA), and we will send you details. Our zoom invites are unique to each class in order to maintain the highest level of security for each one attending the Zoom session.

Our daily lives often call for inner calm and clarity that one may get with a sincere and consistent meditation practice. This class is open to support beginners and those who would like to discover, re-establish or deepen their meditation practice.

In this meditation class, a short introduction of concepts and techniques will be provided. This will be followed by a guided meditation for students and practitioners to directly experience this space of awareness, which will then be followed by a silent sitting practice. Students may choose to leave after the guided meditation or may opt to stay on for the silent sitting practice up the end of the session.

For the class, you may choose to sit on chair where the back can be upright and the feet are comfortable on the floor. You may also choose to be seated on the floor with a cushion, and pillows to support the knees.

It would be best to find a quiet place with minimal distractions for the duration of the class.

Here are a few guidelines to facilitate a seamless move from Studio to Zoom:

  1. Position your camera so you see your whole mat including your entire person standing at the top of the mat.
    – Set your device on a table or shelf 53-60cm (21-24”) high and 168cm (5.5’) away from your mat – at an angle (10 or 2 o’clock) from front of mat.
  2. Make sure your background is not overly illuminated from lights or windows, otherwise you will become a silhouette on screen.
  3. Download ZOOM app.
    – click on link or enter the meeting id and password
  4. When on Zoom:
    – as you log in, use the Video preview to help you position your device and mat
    – make sure your audio is on mute, this keeps out all external noises from disrupting the ‘quiet’ of the room
    – make sure video is on and your screen is not black
  5. Check your internet connection.
  6. Should you need to communicate with the teacher during class, please use the Chat option.
