Join Scott for Kundalini Yoga and Meditation  
Sundays at 6:30




“Yoga is not about yoga…it’s about life.”
Kundalini Yoga & Meditation is more than just exercise;
it is a journey to the Truth of who we really are that
is reached by simultaneously disciplining the body,
cleansing the negative thought-patterns of the mind and
subsequently creating space to allow the spirit to flow freely.
Through this journey we abandon our fears,
insecurities and self-destructive belief systems and we find the ease,
peace and joy that is already living inside every one of us.

and speaks directly from one heart to another.

Greg Zilboorg- Trumpet; Eric Klerks- Double Bass; Chris Payne- Percussion; Jamie Papish- Percussion

Kindred Spirit
august 11th & 12th
brought to you by the co-founders of 
This workshop explores relationship as an access to the most authentic self:
unconditional love. A relationship is simply “being with another."
Relationship is a mirror, an opportunity to reveal the wounds that 
separate us and uphold the illusion of aloneness. 
For many, relationship has become about compromise, 
or taking a fifty- fifty approach to finding workability. 
Kindred Spirit takes a 100% - 0% approach.  
In taking full ownership, the union of “we” is awakened.  
Once our resistance is uncovered, the presence of love reigns, 
and love and  life are fulfilled.  

This workshop is for everybody as we are all in a relationship of some kind.
Click here for more information and to register.
This workshop is by donation/pay-it-forward.  Your seat is already paid for! 
If you want to hold a workshop in your area, contact Marta at marta@cafegratitude.com.

Peace at I am Vegetable: "Cheri Rae serves up the absolute freshest, tastiest, and inspired dishes you’ll find around LA.."

"In a world dominated by chemically and genetically enhanced or adulterated foods finding something purely organic is, quite literally, a breath of fresh air. “I Am Vegetable” is a one of a kind celebration of the most neglected food group as well as all forms of entertainment."

We had such a wonderful time at I Am Vegetable, many thanks to Dream Circus for having us participate at such an awesome event! Click here to read our review on the Examiner. For photos, see below:

A brand new website is here!!

This summer has been quite a transformative one here at Peace Yoga Gallery. After a lot of hard work and new changes, we’re proud to say that we are definitely entering a new era of this yoga studio; one that reflects better than ever our mission of bringing you HEALTH, focusing the BREATH and the pursuit of PEACE.

We’re excited to bring you a website that really features ALL that we do here at Peace -- a website that truly encompasses live yoga - live food - live art - live music - live people. Plus we’ve made it much easier to find the information you want and need.
Picture
But this website is just one of many new things that we’re beginning here at Peace.
Today also has us unleashing our first EMAIL NEWSLETTER! Approximately once a month, we’ll be sending out information about the studio, new updates, upcoming events and everything else you might need to know to be at Peace. To sign up for our newsletter, simply go to the “Join Peace” tab on the left-hand side of our new website.

In addition, we now have a brand new FACEBOOK PAGE, which makes it easier than ever to stay connected to Peace, find out what’s happening at the studio, learn about our events and more. It’s a place for us to post pictures, quotes and stories and for us to all come together to share the best of Peace. Plus we love hearing from you and interacting with you, so please go ahead and “LIKE” us!

We’ve got new classes, new events and starting next week, we’ll be using a new automated system to take attendance for our yoga classes / organize our huge database of students. Plus, we’ll be featuring a beautiful online store to buy our yoga class packages more easily than ever.

We are all very proud of the work that has gone on here since the very beginning. It’s been quite a process, but we have a hard-working team assembled and are making real changes happen. We’d like to introduce two vital new components to the Peace process, our management/PR/media/making-everything-run team: Shabnam and Ari.
Picture
Shabnam Q. is a fashion designer and was working in the chaos of the L.A. Fashion District when she discovered Cheri and the wonders of Peace Yoga. She has since poured her masterful design skills and creative talents into transforming the studio into a thriving business. She has been instrumental in creating our new website and being Cheri’s right-hand-woman.
Picture
Ari Simon is completing his degree in Policy, Planning and Development at the University of Southern California. Through magic and luck, he found Peace and was captivated by the art and space below. He immediately found a place where he couldn’t help but invest his time, energy and love. He has spent the last few months managing, databasing files and organizing the studio to help it achieve its fullest potential.
Thank you for being part of Peace and welcome to our new website! And check back here often for updates.

As always, we love your comments and feedback. Let us know what’s on your mind anytime by using the “Contact Peace” tab on the left-hand side of the webpage. Or, if you’ve got some love and positivity to share, we love seeing it on our Facebook wall.

Namaste.
