BLACK YO)))GA is:

Vinyasa (flow) yoga set to drone, noise, stoner metal, ambient, industrial, space doom and other traditional meditation music. Incorporating basic poses in a relaxed environment, while focusing on safe body mechanics. A traditional yoga class in practice, you can definitely expect it to be darker than what you may typically associate with yoga. Creating unique soundtracks using music from an eclectic mix of bands (http://www.mixcloud.com/BLACKYOGA/), we create a meditative space for those who may not relate to the birds and the waterfalls... if you know what I mean.

Our goal is to spread the benefits of yoga to a nearly untouched demographic, people like us, the underground art and music communities. People who may battle depression, anxiety, alcoholism, drug addiction, trauma/PTSD, phobias, dark passengers, etc. People who may not feel they fit into the typical yoga classes. People who, in all rights, may need the balance and release of yoga the most to lead rich and fulfilling lives.

"You can't fully appreciate the light until you understand the darkness."

We don't have our own studio or gym. Instead, we set up in whatever random spaces will have us. 
Currently, we have a DONATION-BASED CLASS (suggested $10 - pay what you can) in Monroeville, PA: 

7pm THURSDAYS at the Monroeville Yoga Co-op 

(http://monroevilleyogacoop.blogspot.com/)

855 MacBeth Drive, Monroeville, PA 15145

We also offer private and group private YO)))GA classes.
