Good News for A Great New Beginning! Starting from our own community of Little Tokyo, from this Thursday at 11am Feb. 18th, a new online Yoga classes; and Mondays for beginner ukulele, starting from Feb. 22nd, 2021, Happy Sailing!!

[ Discover Yoga Gems, And Ukulele Gems—Connect to Well-being in the sense of the Present ]

Welcome! To the two very new classes weekly!! They both are meditational, therapeutic, and uplifting 50-minute-classes, based on fundamental physiology, of the core, and by rhythmic breathing, in our full, and pure awareness and appreciation of the present.

Well, finally, a year after the halting of in-person classes at FarEastLounge, now from my very studio in DTLA, the new Yoga classes again will resume from this Thursday, Feb 18, 2021! We will re-connect to the good years of better engaging in more holistic and healthful body-and-mind connecting practices!

We will explore slow-breathing and moving your body well and wisely, via the muscle-lengthening, and strengthening, ballet-and-science-based variety of Yoga exercises; and also in music, we will also aim to enjoy the very process of learning, improving, and together-playing and connecting to goodness, in good melody and vibes.

My platform offers anyone of new chances to benefit from the much needed natural sense of wellbeing in the state of the best of the Present, in relaxed and calming ways. Ever-non-religious, but ever-divine, like the self-beating of your heart, we can be at peace from the very core with-in you. We’ll take our simple journeys to the meditate breathing, to perhaps they might bridge to the good, wholesome, and life-renewing universal consciousness. Blessing, is each breath, as each of our unique beings, breathes.

See you soon, via Zoom (invited by hard-working-for our-community-LTSC’s at East Lounge and Moto-san or me), see you this Thursday at 11 am for the easy chair-exercise and senior-to-all-levels Yoga; and don’t forget: the following Monday, the Feb. 22nd, for Ukulele Gems class—let’s wind down in our new weekly ukulele communion!!

Hope you’ll join us in this new shared adventure and in discoveries this week, in the good vibes of Yoga and Music.

Cheers, Kay Ande

Hello there!

Hope you are well, not forgetting to move around, choose plenty of Phyto-chemicals in your diet, and keep having good social connections despite the lock-downs.

As of mid Summer 2020, I am sorry for the inconveniences: the facility where Gemnest Yoga takes place had to close its doors in trying to minimize any chances of viral transmission, which we must respect.

I will be back to teaching regular 9am Friday Morning Yoga sessions as soon as we are notified that the building is re-open for services.

Many Thanks,
Ande

Hope you are staying healthy and calm indoors through this very difficult times.

I apologize there has not been a formal notice to the public that in order to prioritize health of the individuals we will not be having normal Friday morning free Yoga sessions at Far East Lounge of Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, as of March 2020.

We will notify you once we could re-begin.

Wherever you are, hope you are able to find a fresh-air-space to calm the nerves and breathe (meditate), and stretch and use all muscles (move). Please keep it up!

Sincerely, Ande Astreed

The third-year and ongoing, non-profit community-based service GEMNEST YOGA (at Little Tokyo’s Far East Lounge on Friday mornings at 9 am): due to urgent circumstances I’m sorry to say the classes won’t take place until the 2nd week of Nov. Apologies for any inconsistencies.

New comers welcome! The hour-class is FREE of charge, but many regulars often contribute some tip, typically around $2~10.00. per lesson.

Hope to see you on Nov. 15th, 2019, so tell your family and friends and bring them along, to get connected to a scientific approach to fitness and holistic health!

Sincerely, Ande Astreed
