Crisp SF air, community energy, and sun through the trees.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our free community class at the Panhandle! Seeing so many familiar faces and new friends rolling out mats together on the grass reminded us why we love this city so deeply.

Free outdoor gatherings are just one way we love staying connected, and we’re only getting started.

We have plenty more events coming your way, both out in the elements and warm inside our studio doors. Keep your eyes on our page for what’s next on the calendar.

Recognize anyone? Before they were guiding your practice and helping shape Folk Yoga, they were really just trying to figure out how to stand on two feet and live life.

See if you can guess who anyone is!

Power and Poise: Inversions and Arm Balances with Monica Opderbeck and Justin Chickles! Monica Opderbeck Justin Chickles

Inversions and arm balances can feel intimidating or out of reach, but with the right tools, they are accessible, empowering, and deeply fun. Join us for a two-part immersion into the mechanics, strength, and confidence needed to take flight.

Over two Saturday workshops at Folk Yoga NOPA, you will learn targeted preparation exercises, key biomechanics, breath and bandha work, and how to use props and the wall to build spatial awareness. Whether you are aiming to take your first arm balance or refine an established inversion practice, this series offers clear, actionable instruction tailored to your unique body.

Schedule and Focus:

Saturday, November 14 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM: Arm Balance Workshop

Saturday, November 21 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM: Inversion Workshop

Prerequisites and Location: This experience is held in person at Folk NOPA (Air Studio) and is designed for experienced vinyasa or hatha students comfortable with Chaturanga, Crow Pose, and basic forward folds.

Pricing and Registration: Single workshops are $65 each, or book both for $120 using discount code PACKAGE10 at checkout. Folk Yoga members and alumni receive 25% off the full price. Reserve your spot via the link in our workshops highlight.

Nourish & Release: Autumn Sound Bath with Anna Anna Parker

As the season turns and the days grow shorter, give yourself permission to slow down, turn inward, and rest deeply. Join Anna on November 7th for a 90-minute restorative sound bath designed to help you let go of tension and honor what this year has brought.

We will begin with gentle movement and breathwork to ground the body, transitioning into an immersive soundscape of singing bowls, gongs, and chimes. Through therapeutic vibration and stillness, this experience supports nervous system regulation, quiets a busy mind, and helps you clear space for the months ahead.

No prior meditation or sound bath experience is needed, simply wear cozy clothing and whatever helps you feel at ease. Studio bolsters, blankets, and blocks are provided, with mats available to rent.

Details:
Date: November 7th 2pm - 4:30pm
Location: Nopa Folk Yoga

Investment:
Early Bird: $45 (Use code SOUNDBATH10 through October 31)
Standard Rate: $55 (Starting November 1)
Folk Members & Alumni: 25% off full price

Reserve your spot today to step into the darker, slower months feeling lighter and grounded.
