A New Year's Resolution? Free Yoga Classes

tony — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 03:58:33 GMT

Question: Ready for that "New Year's Resolution?"
Answer: ? (Didn't think so).

Well thanks to the "Grotto" at Sports Basement - you have a "free" chance to improve your well being ... ..

)n 01 December 2007, Sports Basement joined together with local yoga teachers to give a yoga gift to the community.
Next yoga class:

• Yoga Flow - with Annie Leguennec
• http://www.sfgoju.com/

• Sports Basement --San Francisco
• 1590 Bryant St.
San Francisco, CA
(415) 575-3000
http://sportsbasement.com

And due to the very high turnout of yoga students, speed walkers, coach potatoes, Fat Tire Beer Specialist, snowboarders, and then some . . . Starting January 2008, Sports Basement will host free yoga classes each & every Sunday from 1:00 - 2:30pm.

Yoga Teachers of various styles (Iyengar Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Vinyasa, Raja Yoga, Kundalini, Anasara Yoga, Yin Yoga, Power Yoga, Anna Forrest Yoga, etc.) will present their unique connection with the yogic path.

Check back each month and see who’s in the mix – free yoga classes by yoga teachers of all walks of life. Official Website: http://ynottony.com/yoga1.htm

And, if you are a yoga teacher (or a soon to graduate yoga teacher) looking to share your knowledge, practice karma yoga (community service), and put yourself in the public eye, come join in & volunteer your services making yoga affordable for every individual. Pick one Sunday per month . . Teach as many months as you would enjoy doing. . . .

Yoga teachers will receive a $25.00 gift certificate from Sports Basement (per yoga class) & can use the platform as a way of promoting themselves and their unique yoga experience.

Regardless, it's a grand opportunity to start the year on the right path, meet some like minded individuals, see life in a different light, & calm the mind.

Merry Solstice

Fusion — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 17:38:22 GMT

I got the best present yesterday, which I'd like to share.

Put a leg up on the wall, with your foot flat, roghly at hip height.
Do the warrior poses in the air. Side stretch with arm lock, triangles.

It feels absolutely amazing.

He is the founder of Learning To Listen, a global community dedicated
to spreading tools for conscious living, and has written two books:
Poetic Listening and Learning To Listen: Simplifying Spiritual
Practice; and has created a meditation CD - Learning To Listen:
Simplifying Meditation.

His yoga class can be both physically and mentally challenging, yet
remains beginner friendly. By using vinyasa (roughly sun salutations)
as yoga's physical building block, we can realize the breath as the
building block of consciousness. Yoga as meditation allows us to
experience life's honesty by transcending perceived limitations,
building in organic ways an appreciation of love, patience,
generosity, and union. Both seated meditation and chanting are used as
part of the experience.

The Cast of Characters:

Zoe Keating
http://www.myspace.com/zoecello

The Handstand Ball will open at 9 pm with world acclaimed avant-cellist, Zoe Keating. Her performance will be punctuated with an accompaniment by yoga ritual performers, The MahaMudras.

Zoë uses layers and layers of cello to create densely textured, rhythmically and melodically rich landscapes of sound. Her music appeals to a wide spectrum of listeners, from fans of post-punk to acoustic ambient to classical. Melancholy seeps into every note of her music

Zoe Keating was a founding member of cello-rock group Rasputina, co-founded by Nirvana cellist Melora Creager. Currently, she thrives on live performance and improvisation. Zoë tours extensively, opening for artists like Imogen Heap. Keating has appeared on records ranging from DJ Shadow's latest to albums by Tarentel, John Vanderslice, the Court and Spark, and Michael Talbott & the Wolfkings, among others. Her
album, One Cello x 16 Natoma hit No. 2 among iTunes' classical downloads.

Jason Webley
http://www.myspace.com/jasonwebley

Jason Webley’s combination of folk, gypsy, and punk is most often compared to Tom Waits or Vladimir Vysotsky but also draws from Leonard Cohen, Shel Silverstein, Bob Dylan, Neutral Milk Hotel, Nick Cave and the Dead Kennedys.

Some of Webley's most famous songs are the apocalyptic "Dance While the Sky Crashes Down" (which appears on his album Against the Night), and his most common show finale, "The Drinking Song" (which appears on Counterpoint). During "The Drinking Song" the audience is asked to sing in a drunken stupor:

If the glass is full
drink up, drink up
this may be the last time we see this cup.
If God wanted us sober
he'd knock the glass over
so while it is full
we drink up.

Jason completes his Eastern-European tour on March 12th. He will be making this one West-Coast appearance before he departs for the East-Coast. Webley also performs annually at several festivals including Burning Man, Whole Earth Festival, and the Glastonbury Festival.

The Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club
http://www.myspace.com/thegomorrans

Baptism by moonshine must be a wonderful thing, if the music of the Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club is any indication. Dunk me in the river, with one hand on my head and the other on the Good Book, I say, because this, friends, is glorious release. Preaching a sweaty, red-faced gospel of saturnalian abandon, cleansing the soul through Mardi Gras immoderation, these N’Awlins-infatuated ragtime pranksters deliver sinfully divine horn-and-banjo celebrations of the good life, circa 1920. With songs such as “Whiskey Paycheck” in their repertoire, the Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club will leave you with no choice but to bear witness to their holy spirit.
-- Todd Lavoie, San Francisco Bay Guardian

Knees and Elbow
http://www.myspace.com/kneesandelbows

Knees and Elbows are the most awkward and flexible parts of the human anatomy... Some people reminisce about certain sexual positions, while others remember their track coach yelling "Knees and elbows! Knees and
Elbows!" An ungainly, maladroit teen, can be colloquially derided as "All knees and elbows."

Ultra Gypsy

Out of the San Francisco Bay Area, Ultra Gypsy is an innovative dance theater company founded in 1996 by visionary dancer and choreographer Jill Parker.

We are Gypsies for today's world, wandering in a maze of modernity. We are a myriad of cultures, old and new, picking up what we need and defying the taboos that bind us. We are modern and primitive, urban and tribal, medusa and machine.

Freakotronic

Freakotronic is Miami booty bass party ruckus from Sean Kelly (of Spanganga infamy) and his bevvy of no-holds barred backup dancers.Southern fried booty rap with positive pseudo lyrics and hella dancers. You bring the PAM we'll bring the buffing chamois.

Plus
- Sparklemotion
- and more!

All presided over by the incomparable Katy Bell.

Yoga Mob - A call for performers

pidge — Thu, 21 Dec 2006 00:01:38 GMT

Hey Mobsters,

We are reaching the next phase of Yoga Mob. The community center we have been utilizing has its limitations (no heat being foremost) so we have started the search for a dedicated space to lease. The process is speeding along and we have our eye on a few potential homes for Yoga Mob. A dedicated space will mean an extended schedule - three to four donations classes per day – plus workshops, events, screenings, art shows and more.

What I need from the Yoga Mob community now is talent! I know that within our ranks we have amazing artists in spades. I’m seeking performers for a Yoga Mob benefit or benefits at 12 Galaxies in February. I have no idea what the bill will be like so… whatever it is that you do, let me know about it. Let’s see what we got! A donated performance would be wonderful but I will negotiate a deal with selected performers who wish to make a partial donation.

If you would like to help, email me with your contact info, your band name or the name of your act, a brief description of your sound or what you do, and the history of your recent performances in San Francisco.

We’ll promote the hell out of the show. Can’t wait to see how this comes together.

Cat…

Wish list

pidge — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 01:46:06 GMT

Yoga Mob and its success was a direct result of the collaboration and generosity found on tribe. I’m hoping that tribe magic still exists.

Yoga Mob can use your help. Here is our wish list:

Space

We are looking for rooms that will accomdate up to 30 students. Ideally, the room will have an uncarpeted floor, temperature regulation, and a sound system. However, In exchange for affordable classes, Yoga Mob students are willing to tolerate noise, disruptions, and temperature fluctuations.

I have a proposal that you can send to potential sites. I can forward it to you or you can send me the contact info and I will forward the proposal.

Send any leads to farang_cat@yahoo.com

Mats and props

Now that we are roaming, it would be amazing if we could store a few mats at each site. We have 15 mats. 30 would be great. Rolls of uncut mats (about 15 mats in a roll) are available for about $125. Studios throw out their old mats so ask around. We love to take donations of yoga props, space and time in exchange for classes. I’d say if you donate a roll of mats, free classes for as long as you want are in order, guilt free.

Volunteers

With multiple locations, we will need volunteers to greet people and do sign-in. Of course, you get free classes and lots of smiles and appreciation for this service.

Tech

We could use web hosting, a domain and a reliable listserv. I’m piggybacking yogamob.org on another domain right now. Advice on how to enhance the website is always appreciate. Donation of the time to do the enhancements is even more appreciated.

Chat

I miss chatting about donation yoga on tribe. Start a new topic. Throw out some ideas. It'll be fun.
