Yoga in Union Square

images.jpg
As an urban yogi I often day dream about coming to a bustling, messy street square and seeing–instead of garbage and taxi cabs– hundreds of yogis. Wouldn’t that be a sight?

Well, Bay Area yogis are in luck because you are all invited to yoga it up in Union Square on August 7. Stephanie Snyder and Darren Main have signed on as volunteers to lead the masses, and just to add a little agave-flavored icing to this holy granola treat; registration fees benefit City of Hope. Here’s the spiel:

Yoga for Hope is an event for yoga beginners and experts alike to
bring awareness to the benefits of yoga practice for patients with
life-threatening illnesses. Join City of Hope’s efforts to expand awareness of
the importance of the mind-body-spirit connection is when battling
cancer, diabetes or HIV/AIDS.

Don’t forget to keep an eye out for Yoga Journal’s sponsor booth to get a goody bag and magazine. There are also prizes and incentives to raise donations above the registration fee, for more information visit Yoga for Hope.

Who says New York yogis get to have all the fun?

Independence Day

As our nation turns to backyards, barbecues, burgers, bright
colors and explosions in the sky, it seems appropriate to celebrate independence in a personal way as well. Perhaps with some yoga?

Independence. Freedom. Liberation. Moksha. Most cultures take time to
celebrate a form of letting go and feeling open and alive to
possibility, and it seems the height of summer is the perfect time for
this expression. Your pores are open and warmed by the sun, encouraging
your body to release, the days are long and, in most places, the
weather is inviting.

I was so excited when Elena Brower, Goddess of yoga, invited me to demo at the maha event–Yoga in Central Park–but once I added up my financial sum for taking off, my numbers were looking dangerously high. Dismayed, but happy to stay off of a plane and knowing all is as it should be, I decided to watch the live stream from the genius boys at Yogaglo.

Here’s a preview of some blissful yogis…stay tuned for more updates in the coming days. Did you go to this event? Share your thoughts below and post your images to our Facebook page.

Sonic Sanctuary

We love Donna De
Lory
. The former pop princess–sidekick to Madonna, no less–has
refashioned herself as a cooing, crooning kirtan chanteuse. Her sweet,
ethereal renditions of “Om Namah Shivaya,” “Hare Krishna,” and “Aham
Prema” leave you feeling that’s she’s an instrument through which flows
the very breath of god.

Tune into her good vibes on albums “The Lover and the Beloved” and
“Sanctuary”.
Better yet, catch her in person this summer at Lilith Fair, Wanderlust, or Bhakti Fest. Until then, tide
yourself over with a music download, just for YJ Buzz Blogistas:
