KIRTAN

with Danielle Koppel

Saturday, June 2nd

POT LUCK 6pm

KIRTAN 7pm

Suggested donation $5-$20 for the musicians and TABLE.

KIRTAN (chanting) is a cross-cultural, participatory experience that originated in India many centuries ago.

This musical genre utilizes ancient Sanskrit mantras in a call-and-response format that incorporates the audience right into the performance. The form of kirtan is as follows: the melody and instrumentation begin slowly, increase in intensity and speed as the chant progresses, and slow again at the end of the chant.

Often participants will clap hands or dance to add to the rhythm and enthusiasm of the chant.

Formally a part of bhakti yoga, the devotional path of yoga, and nada yoga, the science of sound & vibration,

kirtan is quickly becoming one of the leading forms of participatory world music. The music of kirtan is both heartfelt and spirited, although styles of participation will vary from artist to artist. Everyone can participate—

there are no prerequisites, no special talents or skills, and no religious beliefs or cultural backgrounds

that are needed to take part in the kirtan experience. As interest in the world’s sacred music continues to

expand, kirtan offers an opportunity for individuals and groups to come together, to call forth that unifying

divine link within us all. In this manner, kirtan offers us a means to discover and to reconnect to

the heart of our humanity.

AERIAL YOGA

with Rebecca Drake

June 30, 1pm-3pm

$25 prepay, $35 the day of event

AERIAL YOGA is a uniquely developed practice for beginners thru all levels of experience that combines traditional Yoga postures with the basic training of an Aerialist. With the weight of the body supported, students learn how to achieve proper postural alignment through relaxation rather than effort, enhancing a relaxed and peaceful state of mind as well. Challenging traditional Yoga postures such as inversions and deep backbends can be achieved without effort or strain with the use of the Aerial Yoga fabric. Deep muscle releases achieved in the air allow students to explore much deeper stretches in their traditional Yoga postures on the floor. Common Yoga-related injuries caused by over stretching the shoulders and compression in the lower back are addressed through exercises that strengthen shoulders without compromising flexibility, and by strengthening core abdominal muscles without compression of the spine. Space is limited so register early!
