2012 WEEKEND SPECIALS
FEBRUARY
KIRTAN
with Danielle Koppel
Saturday, Feb 4 @ 7pm
Suggested Donation $5-$20
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.

THE LANGUAGE OF YOGA
Sanskrit Basics for Yogis
with Nicolai Bachman

Current Pass Card Holders or Session Students,

$185 all other Early Birds, $210 late fee
in the SUN ROOM
Sanskrit, Asana Names, Yoga Sutra Terms and Chants
The science and practice of yoga is framed in Sanskrit words and verses.
Many asana (posture) names have interesting, deeper meanings and stories behind them.
Yoga philosophy, specifically the Yoga Sutras, contains many terms that have no accurate
English equivalents. Learning these key terms in depth broadens our understanding
of yoga and how it describes human consciousness. Certain Sanskrit chants also have
quite a bit below their surface. Each session will include a short asana sequence
with simultaneous pronunciation of each posture name.
SPEAKING OF YOGA
Vocal Coaching for Yoga Teachers
with Sarah Bell
Friday, April 27, 6pm-8pm
$35 early birds, $45 day of event
In an evening of mantra as vocal warm-ups and intelligent relaxation techniques
for Yoga Teachers, you will be introduced to your own voice in a way that will
help you sustain and uplift it so when you need it most, it is there for you.
As Yoga teachers, we spend much of our time focused on the strength and dexterity
of the physical form. We refine the postures, and the movement so we can demonstrate,
or model, fluidity and stability most effectively. Instructing an asana room full of students
requires that we communicate on more than just a physical level. With an awareness of the
obstacles along the path of clear communication, we can enhance our abilities to encourage
and instruct others. Concepts such as these will be applied to the speaking voice:
~ Ahimsa~ Stretch~ Support~ Attention~ Intention~ Flexibility ~
SARAH BELL is a classically trained actress with a keen interest in the voice.
Having undergone surgery years ago to remove vocal nodules, and relearning how
to speak through working with a speech pathologist for a year of voice therapy to aid
her recovery, Sarah’s understanding of the voice as an instrument and how to keep it strong,
supple and healthy has continued to deepen over the years. Sarah is a member of the
teacher training faculty at YogaWorks.
