We each are responsible not only to live for ourselves but to develop ourselves so we can become the best we can be for the benefit of all humanity; for to live and strive for this higher purpose raises the bar for everyone.

WELCOME and Thank You
The time has come for Open Spaces Yoga Center to evolve to a different format. The OSYC studio in the Ponderosa Village Shopping Mall, Lakeside, AZ, will be closing by the end of September
(unless a buyer comes along at the last minute).
OSYC has been in this location continually for 22+ years, bringing health, wellbeing, and spiritual light to the greater White Mountains.
​
The community of students, dedicated teachers and those who have supported OSYC over the years have helped to create what is known as a "Sangha", a Sanskrit term for "spiritual community". This spiritual community has a life of it's own and will continue, no doubt, due to the strong bonds of friendship, support and love.
Classes will be offered through September so your support is welcome
as we transition to a new chapter.
After September, Lauren and Ken intend to keep teaching,
offering yoga, yoga therapeutics, and meditation in a format
yet to be realized. Stay tuned! ​
​
Please be mindful when purchasing discount class cards during this end period to account for using your card up by end September.
No refunds will be made.

INVOCATION TO PATANJALI
Patanjali, author of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjal, is honored in the Iyengar Classes as we sing at the beginning of class, the INVOCATION TO PATANJALI to set our intention for a beneficial practice. ( Click below to download or enlarge)
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, handed down as oral instruction over 2500+ years ago, are a succinct guide to the process of awakening to an enlightened state of being. Our yoga practice and lifestyle are guided by these remarkably current teachings.
