Let's celebrate this Season of Gratitude by joining together in the contemplative practice we love, and sharing our gifts with those in need. Franklin returns to Sacred Spirit to guide us in a hearty, heart-warming practice for all levels; and for the 9th year in a row, proceeds will benefit the Dobbs Ferry-based non-profit Midnight Run, which provides food, clothes, and fellowship to those living on the streets of NYC.
On behalf of Midnight Run, we will accept your donations of toothbrushes, travel sized tubes of toothpaste, and bars of soap at the beginning of class. You can also make cash donations to Midnight Run at the class or donate directly on our website by purchasing a “donation” pass in addition to a class pass.
Franklin Shire is a certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher whose practice is based on breath and body awareness as self-awareness. Trained by senior Kripalu teachers Brahmani Liebman and Jashoda Edmunds, he is honored to share this great lineage with others. Franklin has taught in Westchester at yoga studios, schools and health clubs. He has enjoyed teaching yoga at Purchase College Dance Conservatory, and as a volunteer at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility and Public Schools in South Bronx, NYC.
