The tradition is carried on at Avalon by the super talented Giselle Mari (a regular in Yoga Journal - see on the right) and an elite number of her  talented mentees, including Linda Pino and Toni Cupal. Toni recently joined Avalon after  several years as Co-Director of the prestigious Jivamukti Studio in London. Giselle now teaches at Avalon in a fun, strong, and wildly popular class on Tuesday nights from 7:15 - 8:45 pm; you'll often see her mentees assisting her. Linda teaches her own class at Avalon on Wed. mornings from 9:30 - 11:00 am; and Toni teaches from 7:00 - 8:15 am on Fridays.

After the last class ends at 7:45 pm, we're always happy to keep Avalon's doors open on Saturday nights for free yoga practice, informal socializing, or anything else creative that anyone wants to do until the last person leaves. We have a long series of FREE community events planned in that slot in 2012. When we don't have an event scheduled, we are always ready to donate our space for any event in that slot that reflects the progressive political, humanistic, and artistic values of the Studio. Do you have a creative idea about how to use Avalon on Saturday nights? If you do, stop by and talk to us at the desk, or write us here. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think humans should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is...a marvelous victory. - American historian and social activist Howard Zinn, 1922-2011.
