summer fun
i've been searching yoga studio websites for special events in august and have come up with a mere handful :( my guess is that most teachers are either taking the time off to be with their families or they're off on some fabulous retreat in some exotic locale. so while they're out sunning themselves in greece, mexico, costa rica, or hawaii, you and i will have to find a way to keep ourselves entertained right here in LA...
and thanks to lululemon and all its four LA locations -- beverly hills, calabasas, pasadena, and santa monica -- as well as quiksilver for providing us all these FREE yoga classes!
ongoing kirtan evenings:

Kirtan with Daniel Stewart
Rising Lotus Yoga, Sherman Oaks
Friday, August 10th (Second Friday of every month) 8:15pm
Cost: By Donation
Come join us for an evening of ecstatic chanting. No singing experience needed, only a willingness to open your heart (and your mouth) to the blissflul flow. Kirtan (from the sanskrit word for singing) is easily learned and instantly memorable. The form is simple: a lead group calls out the melodies. The crowd responds. Sanskrit, the language of ancient India, is also the mother tongue of many modern languages. But the true meaning of its sounds are in the effect they create. As everyone's breathing becomes synchronous, a feeling of unity and timelessness arises. When we sing without restraint our heartfelt expression brings peace and joy and meditation follow effortlessly.

Amy led her first Yoga class in 1997 and has been studying and teaching yoga every since. Amy brings the generosity of her spirit to all the classes she teaches and is greatly interested in helping students learn. Her enthusiasm and ability to connect with students and deliver personalized instruction make her classes refreshingly unique. Amy completed her first Teacher Training at Yoga Works in 1998 and a second at Yoga Works in 2004. In her life before yoga, Amy graduated from Vassar College with a B.A. in Art History. While seemingly unrelated fields, both require acute skills of visual analysis. Amy says that “Studying art literally taught me a new way to look at the world and this ability to see what’s in front of me has been as invaluable as a yoga teacher!
In this class we will break down Surya Namaskara A and B (sun salutations) to develop a deeper understanding of each of the poses which comprise these vinyasas and ultimately gain a more profound appreciation of our yoga practice.
Class will begin promptly at 9:30 am.
