Praise for College Night:

"I would like to thank you for a
spectacular yoga experience during the
college night class. I have taken yoga before,
but your use of chant, meditation, and
the asanas you chose were wonderful! 
I don't think I have ever left any activity feeling
more relaxed and euphoric. 
Thank you again. I look forward
to my next class." 
- female student 2006

About College Nights

Sangha Yoga is right downtown Kalamazoo on the walking Mall. The studio's director, Karina Ayn Mirsky, designed these nights specifically to address the challenges of college life: stress, anxiety, depression, self-confidence, mental focus, motivation, as well as physical, mental, and emotional health. These challenging, fun and stress reducing classes aim to support the financial needs of students too. See what it's like to practice yoga in an authenic yoga studio!

Beginners ages 16 and up welcome!

Ann M. Beattie, RYT

College Night Restorative Teacher

Ann discovered yoga at the age of 12 while watching Lilias Folan on TV. When Ann moved to Texas in her 20’s, she found her spiritual teacher in Gurubachan Singh Khalsa. She studied Kundalini Yoga for 10 years and taught under his guidance. Upon moving to Kalamazoo in 2000, Ann studied Yoga Fit and began teaching hatha yoga at various gyms and fitness centers. Ann completed her 200 hour RYT training with Karina Ayn Mirsky at Sangha Yoga in 2009. This imbued Ann with new dedication and enthusiasm for her practice and for sharing her knowledge with her students.  She continues to study with Karina Ayn and has participated in workshops by Chandra Easton and Gary Kraftsow. Ann believes that with yoga, there is the potential to experience your true self, and she feels honored to be able to help guide her students as they deepen their own self knowledge.
