The Healing Concert with Special Guest Wah! at Yoga Flow…
Date: Saturday, 3/7/2015From: 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

An evening immersion into deep relaxation using Wah!’s meditative music and calming laser lights. The Healing Concert is an invitation to access deep relaxation, natural healing and rejuvenation. This feature-length presentation uses loops, delays, keyboards, vocals and custom-made laser lights to deliver its message.

The slow-moving lights resemble patterns in Nature such as constellations in the sky and Northern Lights on the horizon. Everyone is gently guided into a state of relaxation, letting go layer by layer.

The Healing Concert is a multimedia musical and visual presentation that has the ability to transform audience member’s physical and mental state, to literally bring about a shift of consciousness. It’s a doorway to a different you. More than the music, it’s about the experience the music allows.

Cost: $35/advance and $40/day of and door

First time I heard Wah’s track was at YogaWorks studio in LA during class.
Immediately I was like – what’s this? I want to know.
Had to go up to the instructor after class to ask who the artist was.

Wah… What? Wah, you know – WAH.
Me: Wa? What?
Instructor: No, you know, Wah.
Me: ?
Instructor: (spelled out now) W – A – H, Wha.
Me: okaaaay… of course, Wah… (thinking to myself, Wah? what on earth does that mean?)

Last time I heard her was when she was at Urban Flow – at Pandit Rajmani Tigunait’s lecture … just singing in the background …very unobtrusive – very subtle – Meditative. I love her voice. For those people who cannot easily relax, just cannot meditate, too wound up, too anxious, too nervous, too … shall I say, too stuck – this might help pave the way to cleanse out the internal obstructions.

Of course, for those lucky people where everything, at least outwardly, is oh, just soooo perfect and very content and happy – for those people too:) You will be happy at a cellular level – if you love nature and life and the vibrations human voice creates.

Working with some constraints, trying to deal with the limitations to create this kind of mood (but DIFFERENT) in some of my classes – why is it so difficult to … just chill. As Judith Lasater would say, to “Relax & Renew”?

It’s okay – you don’t have to feel terrible or guilty about it either – it’s not being lazy and idle to have time dedicated for yourself – doing absolutely NOTHING but breathe. Nothing and nobody to take care of … but Self. To me, it’s a gestation time – it’s also a time for self-healing and calibrating balance. Mindfully, with directed intention. You have another 22.5 hours in a day you can be intense to any degree you choose to be by way of work & through work, produce, accomplish, achieve, perform – answer to whatever is to your unique calling. But during your precious “me-time”, there’s nothing to correct or rectify.

Yoga brings Joy!
Joy to your body, heart, soul and allows your mind to settle all the debris to the bottom of the lake, ripples gently subsides so that like that shining water, your lake in your mind is still and crystal clear. Only then, you can find your truth... when your mind clears and all distractions are gone, leaving you - stillness and clarity. Peace.
Dog is doing yoga all the time and brings you laughs!
Anger is borne out of fear; how do we find that fearless path of inner peace?
Why Bark when you can Wag to express your JOY Joy joy !!!???
無心でしっぽをふる喜びを表すあの子犬のようなJOYを糧に無理ない、各自のコンデイションに寄り添いながらもチャレンジ精神をとりかえす…そんなヨーガを:)
