Full of Joy Yoga was started by Lani Rosen-Gallagher in the fall of 2004 in San Francisco. It is not a yoga studio, but an idea: We are all looking to live our lives "full of joy," so why not start as early as possible?
For every hour you spend doing something for someone in your community, you earn one SHARE Hour. Then you have a SHARE Hour to spend on having someone do something for you. It's that simple. Yet it also has profound effects. Time Banks change neighborhoods and whole communities.
Our yoga philosophy is rooted in the ancient sciences of Hatha Yoga and Tantra, which seek to bring about transformation of the self through practices which build and focus energy, and Ayurveda, which seeks to create balance in the self using the elements as a template for understanding one’s unique constitution and relationship with nature.
