Yoga and Meditation @ Rubber
Soul (675 Pulaski Street)
Rubber Soul offers different kinds of yoga
(for everyone from beginners to experience
yogis), meditation and even offer a Zen
group every week. For those of you who
want to go to the gym but find it a little
too pricey, yoga is a great way to tone
up, gain some flexibility and simply feel
good. Meditation in a group is another
amazing and mind relaxing activity. The
best part about all of this is that there is no
set commitment. You can try it, and you
can pay by class, and the pricing is only a
suggested donation of $5 (they say if you
can’t pay that much not to worry about it)!
Gentle yoga is perfect for beginners. The
instructors are dedicated, very enjoyable
and the crowd is eclectic and awesome!

ideas for your ride, enjoying the talent and
creativity of others, and showing off what

you have. While this meet started off small,
it has grown tremendously as of recent and
there is truly something for everyone in this
group. For more information, check out

the next meet!

order, and here are some ideas for you!
