Friday Night Live: Jivamukti Vinyasa & Sound Bath
A guided Jivamukti vinyasa yoga class that seamlessly transitions into a live-music meditative and healing sound bath.
Expect a well-rounded flowing practice designed to make you move and sweat as well as encourage curiosity and spiritual activation that flows gently into a long-form sound bath using sound healing instruments including antique singing bowls from the Himalayas imbued with healing mantras. The frequency of the bowls create vibrational sound harmonics that impact the sympathetic nervous system by engaging the relaxation reflex, (and disrupting the pain reflex) creating an overall deep sense of well being, meditation and relaxation.

Sing into Spring: Community Kirtan
with Astrud & Friends
Please join us for a community celebration honoring the spirit of rebirth through sacred song! Our beloved enCHANTRESS, Astrud Castillo will be visiting and sharing her exquisite voice along with her band of talented mystic musicians sharing the sacred art and practice of Kirtan, call and response chanting.
Kirtan moves us beyond the mind and into the heart, beyond judgement and feelings of separation, it relaxes us to let go and to experience a deeper connection, union and Love. Allow the power of music and sound vibration to kindle hope and peace and ignite the fire of love and devotion in your heart as we sing in the key of WE.
It is the relationship to these mantras that illuminates our heart and awakens our consciousness. It is not important that you can sing or that you understand the words. Kirtan is an experience. It is a practice to release you out of the thinking mind and drop you gently into the heart. MAN means mind and TRA is instrument. So it is through these sacred sounds we are able to conduct the instrument of the mind. Together we create this sacred union with healing intentions for the whole of the world.
No experience necessary, everyone is welcome.
Sliding-Scale $20 - $50

Breakthrough! Kundalini Practices for Liberation
Join us on Easter weekend in the spirit of resurrection and rebirth, to break free from limitations and come back to LIFE! If you've been running on empty, stretched thin, or just quietly holding it together longer than you'd like to admit, this class is for you.
This yoga therapy workshop uses Kundalini Yoga to work with the energy already alive in your body. To get underneath what words can't always reach. Kundalini is our dormant creative energy trapped within and this experience gives you permission to finally let it break through powerful movement, breathing and mantra practices to release the blockages within your body.
This isn't about performing a breakthrough. It's about letting your body remember what it feels like to breathe all the way down. Come tired if you have to. That's exactly the right place to start, because resurrection is just the body remembering it knows how to begin again.

Sufi Qawwali: Sacred South Asian Music & Poetry with Anhad Naad
Join us for the evening of Sufi poetry and music - South Asian spiritual music, with a special emphasis on Sufi Qawwali traditions. Anhad Naad treats the spiritual dimension of Sufi poetry and music with deep reverence and personal connection.
Anhad Naad Collective
Formed in 2019, Anhad Naad Collective is a genre-defying ensemble rooted in the exploration of South Asian musical traditions and their intersections with global genres. The collective had its debut concert in 2020 in San Francisco, led by core members Divya Purohit Vyas and Jun Ishimuro (of Qb Moda Jazz). Initially, their work centered around blending South Asian raga-based music with the soulful textures of jazz, R&B, and Black musical traditions.
With a flexible and evolving lineup of collaborating artists, Anhad Naad Collective has performed at notable Bay Area venues including Bird & Beckett, Integral Yoga Institute, the Golden Gate Park Bandstand, and events such as San Francisco’s Summer of Music hosted by Noise Pop and the Civic Joy Fund.
In 2023, the group expanded its focus to delve deeper into South Asian spiritual music, with a special emphasis on Sufi Qawwali traditions. Anhad Naad treats the spiritual dimension of Sufi poetry and music with deep reverence, often seeking guidance from poets and experts from Pakistan and India. Lead vocalist Divya Purohit Vyas has previously been a part of Bay Dervish in Alameda, a spiritual music collective associated with Sufi Way, led by the late Kiran Rana and Jeanne Rana.
