Kathryn: Yoga and skydiving have many parallels— calm breath, the ability to surrender, a sense of nonattachment, and celebrating what is happening now instead of living in the past or future. We hope to blend these and help people celebrate how amazing their lives are right here, right now.
We write and produce songs inspired by futuristic pop, experimental beat music, post-dubstep, and early IDM bands like Boards of Canada. Our goal is to uplift and get people dancing. We’ve been releasing singles over the past six months, and will be releasing a full-length album in spring 2013.
Amanda: I believe that yoga can connect us to a place of deep happiness and inner strength, and that art can transform suffering into beauty and understanding. My vision is to uplift the world through yoga and art.
Bob: Fear of the unknown has stood in my way many times in my life.“What if this happens?” or “What if that happens?” These questions stop most people from trying something new in their lives. Through skydiving I help people conquer these fears, allowing them to see life from a new, empowered perspective.
We make music because it’s exhilarating. The best feeling comes right at the moment when we’ve finished a song we know is working. I think we’re addicted to that sensation.
MC Yogi: My vision is to witness a renaissance of spiritual awakening in my lifetime, to experience a deeper level of understanding and appreciation for this incredible world that we live in, and to help contribute to the knowledge that there is an underlying unity within all this diversity.
