Kirtan At Estes Park Yoga This Friday

On Friday, March 9, 2018, Estes Park Yoga will be hosting kirtan from 6:308:00 p.m. This event is open to the public; donations will be accepted. What is kirtan? The practice of kirtan comes to us through the same channel that brings us yoga: the ancient Vedic traditions that have been kept alive in India. Yoga is aimed at calming, strengthening and balancing the body, mind and spirit. Similarly, the practice of

kirtan is designed to bring our mind, body and spirit into a unified and connected state through chanting divine names accompanied by music. By joining with others in singing the names of the divine with simple melodies, our minds are brought to a calm, meditative state. No experience is necessary to join this practice; musical experience or ability is not required. Rather, the community is invited to join with open minds and hearts in the hope that kirtan, or singing meditation, could be beneficial in creating peace and calm in our lives. Estes Park Yoga is located at 145 East Elkhorn Ave., Suite 200, Estes Park, CO in downtown Estes Park. All are welcome to join and participate in the varied offerings that Estes Park Yoga provides to support individual and community health and wellness. http://www.estesparkyoga.com.

Dances Of Universal Peace March 17th

Your are invited to join us at Estes Park Yoga at 4:00 Saturday, March 17th for The Estes Park Dances of Universal Peace, which will be led by Jyoti on guitar, guest drummer and storyteller Sonja Singer, and other Front Range musicians. Participate in meditation through movement and song, or you are welcome to enjoy the healing music, singing and meditation sitting on the side of the circle. We gather to celebrate the sweet greening of spring with words inspired by Hildegard of Bingen: “We are greening with life, We bear our fruit for all creation. Limitless love, from the depths to the stars, flooding all, loving all. It is the

royal kiss of peace.” We will honor St. Patrick's Day with a Celtic valediction, “May the road rise with you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. May the rain fall soft upon your fields. Until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his/her hand.” In these tumultuous times, we can come together In these interfaith practices to promote understanding of other cultures with the repetition of sacred phrases and heartfelt movements. The dances are by donation; no one denied joining. Please refrain from wearing fragrances, and bring water. Some dances are exuberant! The fourth dance of 2018 will be held on Saturday, April 21s and every third Saturday throughout the year. Estes Park Yoga, Park Place Mall 2nd floor, 145 E.
