Titles for the Times
From Bhava Devi’s Bookshelf
Bhava Devi, longtime Kashi resident and teacher, and founding member of Kashi’s Black Yoga Collective, has assembled a collection of books that she considers impactful and worth a look. "The books on this list have opened my heart, brought wonder and curiousity to my mind, and provided tools I can use for spiritual growth and healing as I engage in the world."
BOOK STUDY GROUP: Me and White Supremacy
Kashi Atlanta is proud to announce an antiracist book study group beginning Monday, November 16th! We will be reading Me and White Supremacy by Layla Saad. The group is being hosted by MahaTara, Gopi Ma and Jill Hendrix.
The study group will meet via Zoom Mondays from 6:00 - 8:00 pm for six weeks. We will skip the weeks of Thanksgiving of Christmas, thus the final meeting will be on January 4th.

Infinity Breath to Create Calm and Open Space
Namaste!
Set your intention to create space to release negative thoughts and connect to the vast formless essence within.
Place hands so the fingertips are touching, fingers separated and palms apart, with a sphere-like space between the hands. Inhale a deep breath through the nose; exhale through the mouth, puckering the lips like you are blowing out a candle.
Then inhale through your mouth still puckering, like drawing air in through a straw. Exhale through your nose. Use very long deep breaths. Continue for 11 minutes. Create space between your thoughts. Feel consciousness expanding within you.
Love,
Swami Jaya Devi

Online-Classes Only
After lots of heart centered discussion and reflection, we have decided to suspend all in person yoga classes at Kashi Atlanta for the time being. As of Tuesday March 17, we are live-streaming ALL of our weekly classes, and no students are permitted in the building to take class. We miss practicing in person so much but feel that our streaming options are the very best and most responsible way to navigate this challenging time.
Now, more than ever, it is important to keep connected and to keep practicing! At Kashi, we are a community that practices and grows together. Please join us online regularly to connect and recreate our intimate community online. It will take focus and stretch us all, but we believe it is worth it.
We are offering special pricing for our online-only classes:
- $10 for Drop-In Class
- $48 for a Six-Class Pass
- $75 for Unlimited Monthly Pass
We are live-streaming three FREE classes a week for all of you facing financial challenges during this time:
- Fridays at 4:30 pm · All Levels Yoga
- Sundays at 4:30 pm · All Levels Yoga
and - Friday at 6:30 pm Trans & Queer Yoga with Amala
Register online as you would for a regular class through Wellness Living. Please be sure we have your current phone number!
