AcroYoga for Me?

Well according to Nick it was! He asked me if I wanted to fly one night after the studio had closed and without thinking I said, "Yes!" Suddenly (but with careful instruction and guidance) I was floating above the ground with trusty Nick as my only support!

If Nick had told me what he was going to do I probably wouldn't have let him, but I was happy he showed me this other way of experiencing yoga. After, I went to class with him where (also with careful instruction and guidance) I became the "base" for a man that I never would have thought I could lift by myself. That's what's cool about AcroYoga- as long as your alignment is in place you can do amazing things. It's like when you find your correct cobra or warrior pose for the first time- you just feel perfect. That is an amazing feeling!

If you're curious I would highly recommend coming to our AcroYoga workshop November 6th @3:30pm.

If you're skeptical I would highly recommend coming...

If you think you'll look ridiculous I highly recommend coming...

Like I said- It's an amazing feeling!

Inversions Workshop 10/23 @3:30pm

This is really exciting. So many people that have signed up for Yoshio's Inversions Workshop have said that they have been wanting to take this workshop for a long time, but it never fits into their schedule. Suddenly people have been getting off of work, engagements are getting canceled, and students have been enrolling. I think the energy is going to be really wonderful and everyone is going to learn so much. The fact that it's all levels makes it even better because there is going to be so much support flowing all around.

And I know everyone gets a little nervous when they see this picture, but I really like it. It reminds me that even Yoshio had a first day of class where he was probably like, "I'm never going to do that...", and look where a little perseverence can lead to.

Bamboomoves, the home for the first Kirtan in Queens!

It was a beautiful night with magical energy as Nina Rao, Shyama, and Ambika set up for the Kirtan. There was approximately 30 people who attended, from all over Queens-the furthest having to drive an hour and a half from Long Island. The woman's strong voices filled the air while the instruments guided the response from the audience. The Kirtan lasted well past the time it was supposed due to the energy which kept luring people in from the street and family members who decided not to come but couldn't stay away; thus with fresh new voices continuing to come in past 8:30 pm the woman were constantly invited to keep chanting. The special energy which is always created after a special event, like a Kirtan, still lingers in the studio and is pushing us to plan another Kirtan.

Stay tuned or assist in scheduling!

Our First ever Kirtan!

This is so exciting! This is going to be our first ever Kirtan with an amazing group of musicians that I've heard have the most enchanting voices. I really hope everyone is able to come. It'll be like the labor day retreat again. For those of you who couldn't make it to the retreat this will be as if you were right there with us! This Krishna Das video capture what it's going to be like so hope you enjoy it!



I can't wait to see you guys there! Saturday @ 6pm
Sign up now!

What's Kirtan?

My first Kirtan was awesome! I didn't know what it was at first, but the drumming and chanting was so inspiring that some people even got up to dance! Amazingly I did too (I'm a life long wall flower). Everyone was clapping and smiling. Definitely good times!

"Yoga for Chicks" as Outdated as "Muscle Heads Can't Read"

Yoga was created by men thousands of years ago then embraced seemingly by women mostly in modern America, but lately is starting to shift back to the boys. You've probably seen the diversity of your yoga class in your week to week meetings which is always refreshing. I'm not sure how yoga morphed into a "Chick thing", but even a few fire fighters have been seen slipping into the local yoga class. Yay for the return to equanimity!!!!!!!!!
