Asana 

**Asana Etc**
was created to make yoga and mindfulness accessible to all, no matter where you are in the world. With so much of our lives online, why not share the passion and love of our beautiful *Prague Yoga Collective Community* with the world? We believe that yoga is open to all who are willing to try
& that the mat only requires you to show up and be yourself. We offer affordable high-quality videos, digital resources, live events, retreats, and mindfulness programs to make this practice accessible to everyone. We believe in the power of community. With every step we take, we are building this global community with great care and intentionality — together.

*Where we started: Prague Yoga Collective*

A small, refurbished space above a Crossfit Gym isn’t the likeliest origin story setting for a yoga studio. But it was here that Prague Yoga Collective was born.

Originally founded by Betti and Lisa, Alex eventually joined the team to form the trifecta that is PYC today. Through studio classes, as well as donation classes and free yoga in the park, our Prague yoga community took root and began to grow.

But after months in the Crossfit gym, it was time for PYC to find a home. A real home. A home where yogis and yoginis all over Prague could come to share their practice, light, and energy.

And so, after many long days of dreaming, planning, and getting covered in paint and construction dust, our first studio came to be in Vinohrady. Just a year later, we opened a second studio in Letna to better serve the ever-growing PYC community.

Since then, PYC has come a long way. We’ve certified many students in our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Trainings. Like so many others, we’ve faced a global pandemic that has completely shifted the way we do business, with our regular classes and teacher trainings moving to zoom.

The past year has been a challenge unlike any other. But more than anything, it has shown that Prague Yoga Collective isn’t just a yoga studio. It’s truly a collective, made up of the yoga community in Prague and beyond. And it’s this connection to the global yoga community that finally gave us the push we needed to make our dream of starting an online yoga platform into a reality.


*Where we are now: Asana Etc*

Asana Etc was created to make yoga and mindfulness accessible to all, no matter where you are in the world. With so much of our lives online, why not share the passion and love of our PYC community with the world? Especially now, when we could all use a little more connection with one another. Asana Etc is our answer to the call.

But, in order to deliver the quality content this community deserves, we needed a team of experts to lift Asana Etc off the ground and into the cybersphere. That’s where Juliann and Kuba came in.

Juliann was PYC’s first student and is now our behind-the-scenes brand, social media marketing, and web design guru. Kuba is our professional videographer and all-around creative and aesthetic guide, who helped us film our very first online yoga videos after the world went online. Now he’s full-time.

**Together, we are Asana Etc. And we’re on a mission to build a global community of yoga, movement, and mindfulness.**
