****
Our events are donation based and there is a difference between that and “free yoga”. So for this event, we will have a suggested minimum love offering of $5. Upon arrival, we will have a sign-in sheet for participants to sign that will also act as a waiver and a box for you to leave your donation.

Teachers

Justine Fanarof

Justine Fanarof is a lawyer and yoga teacher.The coming together of these two practices is her life’s work. Her teaching explores the ethical basis for practice and includes specific work in embodying these practices in ways that support and encourage conscious and values rooted lives. An advocate for social justice and human and civil rights, Justine continues to look, find and rediscover that the ethical practices of the ancient yogis are important frameworks for the current and ever evolving relationships we have with ourselves and others.

It is based upon the practice of physical geometric progression movement of Hieroglyphic postures combined with deep controlled breathing with deliberate movement of energy throughout the body/limbs and meditation.

La Mexicana Restaurant

When we, the Treviño family, took over La Mexicana, it had been known as a small supermarket. Since 1982, with hard work and preserverance, we have transformed the “small grocery store” into a full service restaurant and bar.

Our goal had always been simple: to provide good food. We aspired for quality and consistency throughout the years, and i believe, that is something that we have come to he known for. There´s nothing complicated or complex about our food, it is just wholesome and made with love.
