A reminder that yogaLIVE! is fast approaching – it’s this Friday from 6-8pm. If you aren’t familiar with yogaLIVE!, it’s a class I teach every 6 months or so where I’m accompanied on percussion by an excellent musican, Steve Ferraris. What’s been really exciting about these classes as we’ve taught more of them is how the music has really become an integral, underlying part of the the practice. Honestly, this isn’t easy to do. In a class like this it would be quite understandable if the class became a percussion performance accompanied by a yoga class, and actually when we first started to figure out how to make the class work, there was points when that was happening for us. But with practice as we’ve taught yogaLIVE! the percussion has really become this wonderul layer of support to add to the feel and excitement of the class as we move in and out of the intensity of the practice.

Instead of the percussion being the focus of the class, it really is a percussion accompaniment to add the asana experience. The percussion definitely adds the excitement in the class, but because of the variety of instruments Steve uses, he also is able to play wonderfully supportive music during the mellow parts of the class, and particularly svasana.
If you have been thinking about it definitely sign up! We most likely won’t teach another yogaLIVE! until the winter solstice, which I hope is a really long time away, precluded by an amazing Spring, supper long Summer, and unseasonably warm Fall.
See you on Friday! John
