om nom nom - yoga beyond the mat (dontation based)
om nom nom - yoga beyond the mat
In the cozy temple of the Alchemy House, we start with the physical practice of yoga, welcoming the joy of feeling into the body and connecting to the self.
After we flow on our mats, the space is open to stay in this felt sense of the self while you connect with each other and nourish the body with warm tea and homemade treats (picture a fresh loaf of sourdough bread, seasonal organic fruit, or peanut butter miso cookies). This way, I invite you to extend the practice of yoga beyond the mat, into everyday life.
If you’ve been craving a space to connect to yourself and your body, to stay in that connection while meeting new friends, and to savour treats made with a lot of love, then this is the space for you.
Evening flow
5:50-6:00 arrive, set up your mat, introduce yourself to someone new
6:00-7:00 yoga flow inviting in breath, intuitive movement, and play
7:00-7:30 connection with fellow yogis, sip warm herbal tea, nibble on homemade treats
Location
Hosted at the Alchemy House in Oakland (Ivy Hill Neighborhood - East of Lake Merritt) on Ohlone Land. This magical temple space is quite special and is home to other embodied offerings. The address will be sent day-of.
Ethos
om nom nom is donation-based. All are welcome - no one turned away for lack of funds (NOTAFLOF)
Our mission is to make yoga accessible to all, blending mindful practice with delicious nourishment and genuine connections. We have been hosting donation based outdoor yoga and connection for the past two years in SF and recently expanded to the East Bay.
About Claire:
I am a nurturer - I nurture myself through yoga and ecstatic dance, mixing sourdough with my bare hands, and forming deep relationships.
One of my current intentions is to rest knowing I am home - feeling home in my body as I am held by the earth with the expansiveness of the universe. Yoga, dance, meditation, baking, and being in human connection are practices that remind me of this feeling of home over and over again. Part of my purpose is to share this with the world which led me to co-found om nom nom to offer the practice of yoga in an inclusive and accessible way, including and extending beyond the asanas. I love co-creating this gooey togetherness with you!
Beyond being a student of yoga, I love skinny dipping in alpine lakes, feeling my bare feet on the earth, and eating dinner by candlelight.
