Community Kirtan is open to all members of the community. It is a causal, open-format gathering in which we chant the sacred names of the Divine. Participants are welcome to bring instruments and play along, and lead as many chants as you would like. Be creative, play along, dance, sing your heart open, and enjoy the community of hearts. Community Kirtan is held the first Friday of every month.


Abs and Arms for the New Year
Led by Betsey Downing
Saturday, February 4, 2012, 10:00 am - 12:15 pm, $30

Strengthen and tone 2 prime areas of your body so you look and feel your best for the New Year. Your abs help connect your upper and lower body and give support during movement. Plus upper body strength has been shown to increase confidence in numerous studies.

Join Betsey for a series of effective & fun abdominal exercises that strengthen the middle of your body to enhance posture and ease of movement. And learn simple exercises to strengthen arms and shoulders to make your poses, like Chaturanga Dandasana, easier and more accessible. Creating more strength in these two areas will bring a feeling of lightness, tone, and stability to your body.

Open to all levels.
