GET BENDY WITH FREE YOGA

It is almost December and soon enough some of your outdoor exercise and fitness regimes will be compromised by rain and cold.  Yoga can be a calming indoor alternative (even though the sun salutations will make a mockery of the dreary weather that forced you inside).  But yoga also tends to be expensive as hell.  Fortunately for us broke-ass yogis, many yoga studios now offer FREE, donation-based, or sliding scale community classes.  Below you can find information about all the studios offering affordable yoga classes for the masses.

Chloe - Pennywise Reporter

Chloe's youth was split between California and Kauai, frolicking on a macadamia nut farm in the tropics and landing finally in the Bay Area. Raised by super-Jew hippies, and the youngest of three sisters, Chloe learned early the virtues of thrift, economy, and green living. To the chagrin of her parents (who hoped, of course, for a Jewish doctor or lawyer), Chloe has put her degree from UC Berkeley to great use by becoming a folk singer. As "Chloe Makes Music" she plays shows throughout SF and beyond, donning vintage frocks, selling handmade merch, and pinching pennies as she sings for her supper. Calling Berkeley home for the last six years, you can think of Chloe as the website's East Bay Correspondent, opening your eyes to the hippie-filled, tree-hugging, organic-loving, vegan-eating, but way-overlooked and awesome assets of Berkeley, Oakland, and beyond.
