About Yoga Now

YogaNow is a yoga studio in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico owned and operated by Meta Hirschl.  YogaNow is a Registered Yoga School with the Yoga Alliance.

Our mission is to create a welcoming and safe environment to learn and practice yoga in community.

We look for success, not just in terms of financial viability, but also in the quality of our services, the way we respect our students and teachers and the human spirit, and our overall commitment to the greater community.

We are dedicated to the belief that healing and transformation are possible for us all. Yoga is the ultimate playground – a place to explore our bodies, hearts and minds, to push and move our edges and especially, to have fun!

March 31, 2012 will be out last day of YogaNow in its current form.http://youtu.be/C9Gwr5cRAEg

Change is Inevitable, Growth is Optional

To quote His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, I happily, voluntarily, proudly end it. The studio that is, but not our relationship. Even though we won’t have the same beautiful ceiling and space, I look forward to expanding our connection. I want very much to continue to create community, and I am seeking ways to do that, other than having a full time rented studio. I am looking forward to serving you, the student, without the day-to-day responsibilities of running a studio business.

I plan to continue to teach locally at a minimum on Sundays at 10 am and Mondays at 5:45 pm and daytime Gentle class beginning immediately in April. I’m looking for a space to rent by the hour for a few weekly classes. There are lovely spaces to rent that I know of and if you are aware of any, please let me know.

Do you have ideas for how to continue to stay connected? Please be part of the transition to the next phase. I invite you to co-create our world together.

My dharma has shifted to other yogic adventures and teachings. I plan to spend more time promoting the new edition of Vital Yoga: A Sourcebook for Students and Teachers. And importantly, I believe I must work to help support those who suffer from asthma. When I developed asthma over 23 years ago I was stunned to find that the prognosis was for a changed life of endless medications and depleted vitality.  It was through yoga and an entire yogic approach to asthma that has nurtured me to robust health and happiness. I feel directed, even compelled, to help others who want to find another way to deal with asthma, a way that includes all aspects of life and healing. I know I didn’t just get better just for my own benefit; I healed so that I could help others as well. If you have any connections to reach out to those who work with asthma, please let me know.

Once again, I need to say, thank you, thank you, thank you. Please continue to take classes at the studio until the end of March, and please continue to take classes in our new spaces. The other teachers will be posting where they will be teaching in April so that you can follow your favorites.

Thank you to all the teachers of YogaNow, past and present, you have offered your heart and soul in the service of yoga and I know we are all grateful to you.

The details: No refunds on bundles, you have 4 months to use the bundles. Or at the end of March you may be able convert classes to purchase used yoga props.

So much gratitude to you, to all the teachers of YogaNow past and present, and most especially to yoga for all that it offers,

Deep bows and many blessings,
Meta.
