Indy Community Yoga is a worker self-directed nonprofit cooperative that supports community harm reduction and community well-being. We create opportunities for every body to practice free yoga, meditation, and mindfulness for the well-being of communities.

Our Core Practices:

Mindful Movement (yoga and qi gong)

Meditation (quiet Zen, silent retreats, and gently guided MBSR-style body scans)

Mindful Dialogue (facilitated active listening in pairs and small groups)

Mindful Nature Walks

Community Care Collaborations

Thank you to our 2024 Community Partners! The Indianapolis Public Library, Indy Parks and Recreation, IndyPride, and the International District Community Center

One day, Zhàozhōu asked Nánquán: “What is The Way?” Nánquán said, “Ordinary Heart is The Way.” Zhàozhōu said, “May it be pursued or not?” Nánquán said, “If you seek it, you will never find it.” Zhàozhōu said, “Well, if I don’t seek it, how can I know about The Way?” Nánquán said, “The Way does not belong to knowing or not knowing. Knowing is fake enlightenment. Not knowing is unremembering. If you truly realize The Way of no-pretending, it’s just like the sky: wide open, vast, emptiness. How can you say yes or no to it?” At these words, Zhàozhōu had sudden enlightenment. Their heart became serene, like the bright moon. Translation: Tony Nguyễn Wiederhold
