  29. Our Classes The HSC now offers two classes regularly each quarter. Practical Spirituality focuses on one yoga each quarter – Karma, Gyana and Raja. Swami Vedananda of the Vedanta Society leads us in a group study and discussion. Ashtanga Yoga used to be a part of Practical Spirituality and has been extracted into it’s own class due to popular demand. We now have two experienced instructors and a growing community of practitioners, and are indebted to the Jewish community for giving us a space.
