Have you met Yoda?
Yoda is the jeidi master--YES. He checks yogis through for class (unless he's sleeping, which happens a lot). Yoda, on behalf of all of the animals, asks that you please not wear fur to the Buddha B Yoga Center. He says we are a cruelty-free zone. For more information about the brutality involved in killing animals for their skins go to: http://www.peta.org/
Thank you.

Meet Abby Dobbs Forrest Yoga teacher and massage therapist!
Abby's yoga journey began when she discovered the immense passion that was brought forth exploring Forrest Yoga with her teacher and mentor Ana Forrest. After completing her first 200hr teacher training through Forrest Yoga, she was given the opportunity to go further in another 200hr training with Natasha Rizopoulos of YogaWorks. Through a dynamic and mindful combination of poses in Abby’s classes, you will have fun, get sweaty, and most importantly, breathe deeply. Abby is so grateful for the opportunity to share her passion and delight of yoga to her students, both the physical asana, and the deeper philosophical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Book a deep tissue massage with Abby on-line.

Thank you so very much to Ingrid Newkirk, co-founder and president of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). It was the greatest honor to have you speak at the Buddha B Yoga Center. You are a true hero, a karma yogi, a holy teacher and an inspiration to us all! Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu: May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words and actions of our own lives contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all. Shanti. Shanti. Shanti. PEACE.
