Ever wondered why it’s so hard to deliver your best under pressure? Ever thought it may be because we rarely train our mental skills under pressure, or even at all?
Come join us (Shan Escarra, Village Yoga Teacher and PT, and Leon, CEO and founder) for a 2Mynds workshop where you get to transform mental fitness with unique mind-body training! You will execute mental workouts in a relaxed state after which we’ll take you through a physical workout and repeat the same mental training under physical stress.2Mynds' mission is to help people thrive at life under pressure. We aim to help you achieve better mental health and performance through mental fitness. To do that, we take you on a unique journey where you get to train your mind like you train your body.
Second Sunday Workshops
KIRTAN w. Hannah

Every LAST SUNDAY of the month
We invite you to explore the heart-opening practice of Bhakti Yoga and enjoy an inspiring evening of community and Kirtan.
We'll do some light stretches and chant the night away. Kirtan is not a performance, but a collective group offering. Together we will use our voices to participate in this uplifting and cathartic experience of chanting mantras.
No yoga mat is needed. The studio will provide props (blankets and bolsters).
No singing or chanting experience is necessary.
Option to bring an offering for the altar (candles, murtis, flowers, crystals, photos, feathers, trinkets and other treasures).
Come as you are with an open mind and an open heart, and feel the benefits and healing power of Kirtan!

PARKING
We are located in Midtown across the street from Bay Photo.
718 Soquel Ave.
Our entrance is in the back. Turn down Caledonia St. and go right into the parking lot.
We share the parking lot with Ideal Jewelry & Confia Envia.
Please do not park along the fence (to the left) during their
business hours 11:00am -7:30pm Monday - Saturday
Village Yoga clients may park all along the fence (facing you as you enter the lot) at all times.
There is NOT ENOUGH parking for everyone in the lot. Please park on the street - Soquel is a great option, as is the Whole Foods parking lot. If you park in the neighborhood - DO NOT BLOCK driveways! Seems obvious but it is a real issue.
Mindfulness off the mat is what we can practice here!
WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO RIDE YOUR BIKE!
Bike parking in the lot.
PLEASE take personal responsibility
for how you show up for your community.
Do not come to class if you are feeling unwell.
We are here to get healthy!
