Description

1.5 Hour Yoga Session with Acclaimed Yoga Instructor + a Guided Meditation + Live Soulful Music + Delicious Vegan Treats

Come celebrate Yoga Day @LADome with us in a beautiful historic building and experience an afternoon guaranteed to stretch your muscles, open your heart and widen your smile!

June 21 was officially declared International Day of Yoga by the United Nations in 2015. The Art of Living Foundation and its founder, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, were huge supporters of this designation and global partners for the very first International Day of Yoga.

The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word “Yuj” which means “to unite or integrate”. Yoga is not only a physical exercise that increases flexibility and strength, it is an ancient spiritual practice that promotes the connection between the mind and body, a form of physical meditation.

The International Day of Yoga is an opportunity to recognize and enjoy the benefits yoga can bring to the mind, body, and spirit. Join us!

About The Day:
Stretch with Kasia Fraser, a certified yoga instructor that will make sure every muscle in your body feels amazing! Afterwards join us for a short guided meditation, the perfect post-yoga activity under a beautiful blue dome. Awaken from deep rest with live soulful music that will be sure to uplift your spirit and soothe your senses. Finish off the celebration with yummy vegan dishes and a chance to interact with fellow yogis.

Doors will open at 10:30 AM so feel free to show up early, grab a spot, and relax. Yoga mats will be provided, though you’re welcome to bring your own. Water will be available, so be sure to bring a water bottle.

Reed's drinks and delicious vegan treats made by Kasia Fraser, food blogger of Hello Delicious, will be offered while supplies last.

Music: Manish plays an explosive mix of rock, soul and world music fused with ancient Sanskrit chants. He puts a unique and modern spin on Kirtan, an age-old Indian practice of call and response chanting set to music. He started out playing at yoga studios, quickly gained popularity and, with his bands Bhakti and Butterthief, has performed everywhere from the Bonnaroo Festival and Lincoln Center to the United Nations and the Yoga Journal Conference. “Sound is vibration and the sounds that we chant are ancient, Sanskrit words that Rishis (holy men) have been chanting for over 5000 years, so there’s some energy, some power in just chanting these words,” says Manish.

Ishita has worked as a solo vocalist on the background score of the popular Netflix and The CW series, The 100, and has composed the brand theme for one of India’s oldest and well-reputed movie theaters, Regent Theater, established in 1929.
