Series: Intro to Yoga - Holistic Yoga for Everybody
with Josephine Kelly

Thursdays 7:00-8:30 PM | September 6, 13, 20, 27
In this 4-week series explore everything that yoga has to offer. Let go of the idea that you need to be flexible or strong. If you can breathe, then you can do yoga! Together we’ll discuss the spiritual and philosophical origins of yoga, learn breathing techniques to relieve stress (pranayama), and practice foundational postures (asana). Perfect for beginners or anyone who wants to learn more about the philosophy behind the practice and how to modify and optimize yoga for their individual needs. Side effects may include: a clearer mind, more relaxed body, and a grateful heart. ;)

The Lover & Beloved: Awakening the Divine Within
An Evening of Persian Poetry, Kirtan and Devotional Music
with Adrienne Mehri Shamszad

Friday, September 21 | 7:00-9:00 PM (doors 6:30)
Dwelling in each heart, undisturbed and undetected, is the Beloved.  For Persians/Iranians, poetry has been the lifeblood of the people, giving a direct access to yearning and liberation on the spiritual path.  In India, people developed a style of call and response singing (kirtan) to the divine and found solace and transcendence through the repetition of “God’s” name and myriad attributes.  These are forms of expression that help us commune with our higher selves and with the unknown and feel more embodied in our quest for Truth.  All are welcome to join this non-denominational, musical event.  Come to explore who the Beloved is to you, to share your voice or to simply lay back and listen and receive a sacred serenade.
