Seva

SEVA is defined in the yogic tradition as 'selfless service'. The intent of the studio and of this particular offering is to bring yoga to as many folks as possible. We hope you'll join us!

Bristol Yoga Studio teachers offer regular events on a donation basis. Pay what you can or pay nothing at all, but come and be part of the BYS community.

Ongoing Seva Events are all noted on our Calendar page, but summarized below, as well:

Monthly Kirtan - Second Friday of Each Month 6-8pm

Kirtan is call and response chanting of yoga mantras. It is a chance to feel your voice and to tap into the vibrations of sound generated by your own body in the company of others. You do not have to know the words or have a great voice… Like all Yoga, Kirtan is practice, presence, community. Please join us for this musical event lead and accompanied by Jaime Poyant on the Drums, and Gitali on Harmonium.

Weekly Open Yoga - Tuesday from 4:30p-5:30pm, come use the space for your own, unguided practice

Yama and Niyama Chats - Monthly discussions on Yoga's Ethical Principles

We seek to maintain Bristol Yoga Studio as a positive force in the world. There are a number of organizations that are dear to our hearts and we continually support them through fundraisers, charitable gifts, and by simply spreading the word of their existence. We encourage you to find a cause you care about and support it as well. Here are some of ours:

This is the website for the Zachary M. Tompkins Memorial Fund. Zachary was Tracy's cousin's son. He died suddenly and unexpectedly in early March 2010. He was 11 years old. Zachary was a great athlete, a friend to all who knew him and an amazing soul. Zachary's parents have established a fund to realize his dream of 'owning' his own stadium. Zachary's hometown of Hudson, NH has committed to building the stadium provided appropriate donation funds can be raised. Bristol Yoga Studio is supporting the development of Zachary's stadium and hope you will too.

A cause dear to our hearts is adult literacy. This is the website for Literacy Volunteers of the East Bay, based in Warren, RI. They are always looking for volunteers, so please visit the website and contact them to see how you can help one adult at a time!

Think global, act local! Bristol Yoga Studio regularly holds fundraiser to help support the - Good Neighbors Soup Kitchen , based right here in Bristol.
