yogic partying on new year's day

i seriously thought i'd had all this weekend's new year's happenings taken care of when i posted the christmas / new year's day class schedules last week. little did i know that almost everyone would come up with last-minute yoga celebrations/classes/whatever!

so here's a compilation of what i've found so far. i'm sure more updates will be posted between now and saturday morning (aka the morning of new year's eve, aka the very-very-last-minute). so stay tuned, as always.

and if your favorite event didn't make it to this list, feel free to share it with everyone by posting it on the accidental yogist facebook page. thanks!

on a side note -- yes, the rose parade in pasadena is traditionally held on january 1st, but exceptions are made when that date falls on a sunday:

"The Tournament of Roses is a tradition full of traditions, one of which is our "Never on Sunday" policy. In 1893, officials decided to move the parade to Monday, January 2 to avoid frightening horses tethered outside local churches and thus interfering with worship services. As a result of this reverent gesture, speculation abounds as to the rare instances of rainfall on New Year's Day (only ten times in Rose Parade history), prompting some to ask the Tournament about its special pact with a "friend upstairs." ~ pasadena tournament of roses website

which means that if you plan to go anywhere near pasadena on MONDAY january 2nd, steer clear of the parade route as well as all access routes to it from the nearby freeways. just to show you how chaotic it's expected to get, yoga house has announced that they'll be closed the morning of jan 2nd. a wise move, if you ask me.

Suggested Donation $20

New Year's DAY 2012 is a sacred day to set intentions and purify anything within ourselves that doesn't serve our highest truth and love. In India, 108 is revered and celebrated as a number connected to divine auspiciousness. A Yoga Mala is any yoga practice intentionally repeated 108 times. Like adding flowers to a garland, Govindas and Radha will sensitively yet courageously lead us through the purifying and transformative ritual of 108 Sun Salutations - the full body yogic prayer to the Sun- metaphorically described as the divine light that shines at the core of our Being.

Fri 12/30/2011 6:30 PM - 10:00 PM

This course is designed for all those who want to heal themselves, serve others and uplift the planet. As we move quickly toward a time when the veil of illusion cloaking the world will be lifted, drastic changes are taking place in everyone's life. Such changes can produce great fear and anxiety. What you do and how you work with Universal Kabbalah and the laws of nature will affect the direction those changes take you, for years to come. Divine Providence watches over you as long as you follow Its laws, and fulfill the Will of God. It is our responsibility to learn this wisdom, raise the light around us with our powerful and heavenly teachings, and awaken the light of spirit and soul in others. We must lessen the distance between the head and the heart so that we are able to feel comfortable in this Age. This intensive, given for the first time, will offer the rare gift of the most applicable and effective principles of Universal Kabbalah. It will reveal time-proven formulas for protection, prosperity and self-healing. Join us for this very special and unprecedented event designed to open your heart so that your fears and doubts may progressively melt away into a healing flow of divine love that quietly radiates from your being, making you bright and beautiful like the Sun. It will reveal the cosmic blueprint that shows you how to turn to the Sun of Providence so that the floodgates of universal blessings may fly open and shower you with health, grace and opportunity.
Price: $100 by 12/21; $125 by 12/29; $150 day of at the door.
Please note: There are no refunds for this event.

finding the perfect holiday yoga class

tonight's the winter solstice, and as i write this, i realize that 2011 will soon be another year of memorable events that live on in our facebook photos and twitter tweets. but before that happens, we have to get through the christmas and new year holidays -- which includes finding the perfect holiday class that's buried within the hundreds of special class schedules the yoga studios have posted on their websites, in their email newsletters, or in their social media blasts. hence, this guide.

while this list seems unusually long, it's probably because the LA yoga scene continues to grow by leaps and bounds, with a new studio opening up somewhere in town every week (or so it seems, at least to me). just know that if your favorite yoga source didn't make it to this list, it's only because there's no way i can keep track of all of them without giving up my day job... and a yogini has to continue earning a living to pay for her yoga habit :)

i hope you all have a happy holiday... and an invigorating yoga practice to go with it!

this is a work in progress, so please keep checking back.

New Years Day 108 SUN SALUTATIONS & Kirtan Ritual ~
with Om Namah Shivaya Kirtan with Govindas and Radha
SUNDAY, JANUARY 1st at 10am
Suggested Donation $20

New Year's DAY 2012 is a sacred day to set intentions and purify anything within ourselves that doesn't serve our highest truth and love. In India, 108 is revered and celebrated as a number connected to divine auspiciousness. A Yoga Mala is any yoga practice intentionally repeated 108 times. Like adding flowers to a garland, Govindas and Radha will sensitively yet courageously lead us through the purifying and transformative ritual of 108 Sun Salutations - the full body yogic prayer to the Sun- metaphorically described as the divine light that shines at the core of our Being.

The Beaming Power of Thunder Love! with Gurmukh
Cost: $20 (No Keytags)

Let us gather for a morning of Kundalini Yoga and meditation. Join Gurmukh and Gurushabd in a fusion of power, grace, energy and celebration!
We each have within ourselves the powerful energy of Creation. Your radiant connection to the depth of your soul is a gift already established. You have only to remember. When we do not, we are highly insecure and highly exploited.
Every person has the capacity to find security within. Leaning on outside environments and relationships to find security only leads to weakness and downfall. The one who walks in nobility, finding their strength with their connection to the Divine, cannot be diverted from their own Grace and Power. Once established firmly, you have the ability to beam your radiant body on any situation, uplifting and healing yourself and others. Break through to the new year 2012!
Bring your friends - all levels welcome.
Holiday cookies and yogi tea will be served after class.
This will be the only class offered on this day!

Sunday, December 31st 9:00 pm - 12:00 am
New Year's Eve Celebration: Age of Aquarius with Gurmukh, Tej, Harijiwan and Gurushabd

The Heavenly Zodiac Has Moved!
Great change on global and individual levels is revealing unprecedented opportunities for accelerated positive growth and expansion NOW! This is a very exciting and energized year. A renewed sense of spirit with which to sail the seas of life's grand adventure!
Let us come together on New Year's Eve to harness the electrical flow of the Universe, purifying and elevating the spirit in a new dimension of reality. The Age of Aquarius is a revelation of truth and the expansion of consciousness. In this rare season of time, group consciousness is one of the most powerful ways to draw on Infinite sums of energy and power.
This bountiful, blissful and beautiful evening will be a celebration of yoga, music, dance and enhanced meditation.
Leave limitations behind and embrace the wonders of the New Age! A celebration ending with Indian cuisine served at midnight.
Limited tickets available!
