Fearlessness: How to Fall without Fear w/ Anthony Benenati
Price: $45
Fear. We have all experienced it- driving along and suddenly you see police lights in your rear view mirror or someone cuts you off and you swerve to avoid an accident. Maybe you're in class and the teacher wants you to do handstand in the middle of the room! Your instinct kicks in and hormones flow and thoughts of injury and pain fill your mind. But what is fear? How does it serve you? Does it keep you stuck or do you use it to motivate you? In order to achieve balance in yoga you must learn how to fall. Falling is as much a part of balancing as core strength.
In this workshop Anthony will share his experience and expertise of falling and overcoming fear. This workshop will take your practice to new heights. Come face your fears.
*only healthy students with no injuries, please!

Yoga Trance Dance with Shiva Rea
$15
"Since we live where everything is music, everything is dancing." - Rumi
Yoga Trance Dance™ is an exploration of the eternal flow of natural movement through yoga. Beginning with sahaja prana yoga or the experience of prana initiating yogasanas, yoga trance dance flows into an exploration of free-form, breath driven movement to liberate one's creative life-force and cultivate embodied freedom. . Experience the latest spin of meditative and high-energy world music.
Saturday, September 23 8:00pm - 10:00pm
Kirtan with Dave Stringer and Miles Shrewsbery
$15; $20 at the door
The call and response form of mantra chanting known as Kirtan is a consciousness-transforming practice, directing the singers to vanish into the song as drops merge into the ocean. The form is simple: a lead group calls out the melodies. The crowd responds, clapping and dancing as the rhythms of tablas, finger cymbals, harmonium, tamboura, electric bass, guitar and trumpet build and accelerate. The mantras are projected overhead, making them simple to follow.
Yoga doesn’t ask us to believe, it asks us to practice, examining our experience until we can witness the truth in the book of our own heart. The mantras are primarily recitations of names given to the divine. But perhaps the true understanding of the mantras can be found in the sense of unity, well-being and timelessness that they elicit. The mantras quiet the mind, and the music frees the heart. Ecstasy is both the process and the product.

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month. In recognition of this and in honor of student Susie Fragnoli, who survived ovarian cancer due to early diagnosis, Yoga Loft will donate 10% of class sales proceeds this month to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF). OCRF brochures, including symptoms and information on the disease, will be available at the studio near the front desk.
This is also the 5 year anniversary of the September 11th tragedy in NYC. In honor of our own local heroes, we are offering FREE yoga classes all month to Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach firefighters.
SUNDAYS, 10/1; 11/5; 12/3 4:00-5:00pm
