We gather a diverse team of practitioners - teachers, therapists, healers, coaches, artists, activists, and more who are mostly BIPOC and many who identify as LGBTQ+ to support and highlight the beauty and power of diversity! We know that in community, we will not be broken.

Through personal and collective work, through deep awareness of blind spots and unresolved trauma, we reveal a power within that allows for kindness and compassion to be our leading strengths. These are hallmarks of advanced human technology that rise above the ‘us versus them’ model and any divisions that attempt to weaken us. And we do this one day at a time with awareness of our own pace amidst a stressful world. AND, we learn that we are greater than we realize when we shed that which is no longer of value to our path. A transformative shift in perspective can move us from illness to wellness.

Please join us for a day that reminds you of your innate capacity to be well. Your well-being is your birthright and can be a path for all and not limited to a narrow corridor that only some seem to benefit from. For those who have been or are being oppressed, there may not be more than holding trust in your heart that things will change, we have witnessed this. So we hold space for the time when all beings can be well. We gather community who understand that peace doesn’t come at the expense of silencing others. Liberation is a path for all beings and we will do our best to keep being kind and compassionate until all beings are liberated.

There is joy in being clear with life purpose which helps us stay strong!

Tonight! Evening Hatha Flow w/Marc Morozumi
6-7:15pm

Register for tonight’s class and receive a credit for one of Marc’s weekly morning classes. Marc doesn’t offer a weekly evening class so here’s a special chance to experience an evening flow with Marc!

Marc’s Yoga journey began in 2001 with Ashtanga Yoga under the guidance of Sandra Koteen. After injury and retirement from a modern dance career, Marc traveled throughout India for 2 months in 2007 in search of greater connection with India’s ancient and modern culture. This helped Marc land on Integral Yoga for his continued Yogic guidance which continues today. After 12 years in the events world, 10 years of teaching Marc found his entrepreneurial path and opened several pop-up studios and finally opened Mukunda Studio.

Movie Night at Mukunda Studio - sharing inspiring documentaries followed by insightful conversation. DM if you’d like to be involved in building our monthly documentary series. Recent doc: “The Bibi Files”

Read Marc’s blog from 2/28/25:
“Stories Beyond the Stories”

Excerpt:
What if the only thing someone knew about you was what you’ve done so far in 2025 and they wrote an article titled, “The story of (your name).” Would that be a complete telling of who you are? How often do we run with the little information we have and then create the rest of the story in our mind based on that? Instead, can we consider there are stories beyond the stories, aka backstories that would help us better understand one another? Maybe we’d even find our way back to the essential story of ultimate longing that returns us to each other as one?

But who has all that time to go through all of that? We generally live with little blips of information and much of our material world depends on that. Whether politics, the health industry, or general news – it’s all there to jump our nervous systems and then send us away with what we think is all we need to know. Are we better off with just having that bite-sized, spoon-fed portion or would it serve us and humanity if we took the time to follow the fruit to seed and digest the full story? But where do you stop and where do you land when searching for the very beginning of any story?!…

Join Swami Ramananda & Marc Morozumi in conversation at SATSANG: Responding Together to a World in Chaos this Sat. MAR 1 @ 5:30-6:30
pm PST

Online & in-person | $5-$20 donation or enroll for free w/ promo code FREE: https://bit.ly/4gEvCp2

This year has just begun and already it feels like we’re being pushed further beyond our limits by the events in our country and our world.

Our nervous systems are triggered and we find ourselves reacting to every media blip without a chance to mindfully reflect and respond.

What tools do we have to navigate this turmoil when it feels like we have little to no control? How can we refer to ancient teachings to guide us from elevated stress and uncertainty to experience resilience by way of our inner-knowingness?

Whether we choose to look the other way or become a changemaker, our actions make a difference.

Join Swami Ramananda and Marc Morozumi for a lively and grounding discussion to explore, consider and choose how we make our way through the endless chaos in our world.
Everyone is welcome to stay for tea and light snacks afterwards.

Satsang offers an opportunity to come together to share spiritual teachings. Although our spiritual paths may diverge, the act of sharing spiritual teachings with others is inspiring. All are welcome.

Are you an American Jew that’s open to learning more about the political powers in Israel that have been supported by our fax dollars for decades? Have you been seeking more community around what it means to speak out against crimes in our name and how we can become a voice for humanity and not a weapon of harm?

Join tomorrow’s documentary and discussion series sponsored by IfNotNow Bay Area - IfNotNow is an American Jewish activist group that opposes the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. INN recognizes that Palestinian liberation is intertwined with Jewish liberation.

All are welcome to this FREE event!
Registration opens tomorrow!!

Mukunda Studio presents, in collaboration with TendWell Collective, our 10th seasonal Well-being Fair!! We highlight a diverse group of practitioners who will share information and services to support, educate and inspire your journey of well-being. Short group classes (indoor and outdoor), conversation circles, 1:1 connections with practitioners, healer’s marketplace and all you’ve come to enjoy at our fairs will welcome you.

We expand a perspective beyond the wellness industry to remind everyone that our well-being is our birthright. Ultimately, there’s nothing you must purchase or take from the outside in order to be well - it’s more of a process of tuning yourself to find your unique station. And sometimes, we need inspiration and support to find that!

This event is a call to individual and collective well-being that acknowledges our interdependence with all sentient beings - this is crucial for an equitable world. The message of “us versus them” has created reasons to use fear as a method of control. When our inner teacher can witness inequality and oppression, we more readily understand the potential of our true nature of harmony and equality. We see beyond the story of safety through supremacy and work to build safety through solidarity, recognition through collaboration.

If you’re interested and would like to get involved in our SF Well-being Fairs as a practitioner, sponsor or volunteer, please DM and let’s collaborate!

Read this week’s blog by Marc:
“Guidance from Something Greater”

Excerpts:

Rarely is the path ahead one that we can completely predict. We may certainly have visions of what it will look and feel like, but the nature of life is that there will always be twists and turns that have us redefine what and how we live and follow our dreams…

…We are in another phase of very troubling times. I don’t wish to add to the startling news that compounds each day, attempting to confuse, overwhelm and misinform us. I do wish to offer a way for us to expand the aperture of perspective and let in more light.

…just as we understand a dog barks and a cat meows, colonialism disregards anyone living on land that they desire. Let’s consider, as human beings with capacity to transform, we don’t have to keep following this. We can create safety through solidarity. Let’s imagine we can shift, evolve and love more, one day at a time...

Tomorrow! Mukunda Studio re-opens after a short holiday break - It’s time to discover or recommit to Yoga and well-being in 2025!

With all that continues and lies ahead in our world, it’ll be wise to find some way to be in supportive community as you navigate the highs and lows as they ebb and flow. Establishing a relationship with something that is constant, unchangeable and personal provides a grounding point amidst all the fluctuations and challenges. Whether that constant has a name or is nameless, is located in time or is timeless, it is always there with unconditional love and compassion.

This is a perfect class for anyone new to Yoga, for those who’ve even disliked Yoga in the past and a forever useful class for those with longstanding practices. Based on the Integral Yoga tradition, this class encourages mindful movements and experiences around body, breath, mind and spirit. The practice is about finding the right amount of effort and ease in each posture while experiencing the arc of the class moving from identification of the gross, physical body to awareness and connection with the powerful, subtle body. We meet ourselves on the mat so that we have time and space to collaborate and coordinate with our own energy system. Then, we apply this to the other 22+ hours in the day. That’s the approach here versus only focusing on getting good on your mat. And it’s all learning about this life else we wouldn’t be in these bodies!

Take the leap and imagine building in a regular practice to support your nervous system, your personal and interpersonal relationships and overall well-being. Check out pricing for in-person and livestream packages in bio or at mukundastudio.com/group-class-pricing/
New student Incentive: 3-pack for $36!!! (Single class regularly $28)

Our Winter Wonder Well-being Fair was WONDER-full!! So grateful for the beautiful sharing and service by our Winter Wonder practitioner team: , , , , .witch, , , , , , and Swami Ramananda - Director of . And massive appreciation to and for grant support and for sponsoring our food and beverages. Thank you for capturing photos, for managing the entrance check-in and The Stevebros for overseeing the food.

The Well-being Fairs are presented by in collaboration with and occur at the turn of each season to celebrate each equinox and solstice. We’ve presented 70 different practitioners over our 2-years of 9 fairs!! This winter solstice gathering was a gift to our past practitioners as well as a welcome to any practitioner who might be interested in collaborating on our 2025 fairs. We’re always searching for fellow practitioners who feel inspired by this work:

Mission Statement
Our mission is to empower our attendees with direct knowledge, practical tools, and collective experiences that promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. We approach this event in collaboration and commit to an inclusive environment to celebrate health, diversity, and self-dignity for all people regardless of race, age, gender, class, or sexual orientation. We request that practitioners we work with are aligned with this mission.

We are especially grateful for all who contributed to and connected with our Grief Altar of Peace and Solidarity. So much work to be done in this world and we don’t go at it alone. Taking time to rest, recharge and reflect individually and collectively are the ways to make progress and real change.

May our work ripple inwards towards our ancestors and outwards to our divided world. May the healing of our trauma, and transformation of our suffering become the inspiration that helps dispel all misunderstandings. May it move us to be the changemakers who seek liberation not just for some, but for all sentient beings.

Spaces are filling up for our Winter Wonder Well-being Fair! This is a practitioner-centered event presented by in collaboration with . Big thanks to and and for recognizing the value of this event with sponsorship and grant funding. 🙏

THIS Saturday
12noon-5pm

We’re providing a FREE event for those who are writers, teachers, therapists, thought-leaders, coaches, change-makers, artists, and activist. If your livelihood is in service to individual and collective well-being, we want to offer this event to you. Gather in a nurturing environment for a day to rest, recharge and reflect. Let this be a day to receive, revive and realign! Group sessions, Conversation Circles, Creativity Zone, Grief Altar for Peace and Solidarity and more!

Head to link in bio to register and see the schedule for the day or visit sfwellbeingfair.com

We’re planning our 2025 year and seeking to expand our practitioner family for future seasonal fairs - 4 times a year. Come for a day to enjoy and experience our fair! Then join our mission of helping to support and promote the message that well-being is our birthright! In a world that is trying hard to divide us, to convince us of corrupt narratives and switch the victim for the offender , our work to advocate for collective well-being is evermore important.

We promote the topic of well-being as a path of discovery and alignment that’s based on intrinsic values versus external marketing and messaging. Wellness is a wonderful thing but sometimes it feels like a narrow corridor meant only for some. Wellness may sound like there’s something to do or buy when well-being is a truth to awaken from within. Inspiration from wellness resources may help, as well as conversations, practices and rest. We believe that our true well-being is recognized when we welcome the view that we aren’t completely well until everyone is well. We aren’t free until everyone is free. When we find our calling, our contribution, our connections, we find our purpose to on this planet!

What is your understanding of well-being? What helps support you and your overall well-being?

Announcing our first practitioner focused Well-being Fair! A free event for teachers, therapists, healers, coaches, artists, activists and all who dedicate their livelihood to providing services within our communities near and far. We have a special day planned to provide space to rest, recharge and reflect on the year while preparing for 2025 as a collective.

Stress and overwhelm cause us to react to life experiences in ways we would choose differently if we felt safe and grounded. World events that are obvious crimes against humanity, which would seem impossible to become normalized, become so because we are too busy being wound up by the mechanisms of capitalism. Though we may never fully untangle, it may be possible to unravel enough to find our common thread to humanity and be a force for good rather than one of the endless beings on shuffle and repeat. Thinking we are hopelessly stuck or acting as though it doesn’t matter gives our power away. Responding with a conscious mind that can envision equality, liberation and real peace for all, awakens our true potential in this lifetime. Doing this in a community of likeminded seekers adds a dimension of possibility that we must harness in these dark moments of our history.

Join to nourish your overall well-being and receive calm inspiration on this day from our fellow group of skilled practitioners. You deserve this gift on this Winter Solstice journey of closing down 2024 with mindful self-care. Register ASAP - limited to 50 in-person tickets (livestream unlimited!).

Mukunda Studio
12noon-5pm

This season, to honor the Winter Solstice, we invite practitioners who are teachers, therapists, healers, coaches, lecturers, artists, activists, philosophers, writers and more to receive the benefits of a dedicated, practitioner-focused event.

This is an afternoon set-aside to our past and future SF Well-being Fair practitioners for self-nourishment and collective motivation for healing. We want to give you the opportunity to recharge your most important resource - YOU!

We see our December event as a way to support our Bay Area practitioner community at large! More than ever, community building will be what supports our individual and collective well-being when forces are working hard to divide us. We are stronger together and can more easily raise the healing vibration together.

We have a soothing day in the works that we hope you’ll set aside as a retreat day and stay for the afternoon. From sound healing and Yoga Nidra, to mini-workshops and conversation circles and more. We aim to “Empower the Movers of Human Kindness” by helping to inspire personal and collective healing. Collaboration is the key and being in a mindful community is the foundation.

Register ASAP. We are limiting this event to 50 practitioners. We offer our Well-being Fairs 4 times a year - an event at the turn of each season. Our Winter Wonder Well-being Fair is dedicated to support those who dedicate their time supporting others! Please share and consider making a donation to our events.
