they had Buddy Benches with the words “Need a Friend? Take a Seat” boldly painted on them stationed throughout the festival. It wasn't uncommon to see a crowd around these benches but, even sweeter, the one on one interactions between very different looking people…

I am still feeling the high from this year's Lightning in a Bottle! Another incredible year and I have to say that the music was just amazing. GRIZ being my favorite, who killed it Friday night, playing live saxophone along with a DJ set. This is all while having a political message on the screens behind him. I also loved SF native Zach Walker, Beats Antique, Lovecraft, Gabriel Sordo and the amazing Marques Wyatt…

I'm a seasoned festival goer, a 10 time Burner, I attended the very first Wanderlust in Tahoe and I have traveled around the world to festivals like Bali Spirit Festival, Envision Festival and others. In the past I avoided Lightning In A Bottle (LIB) because I assumed it was too LA. Covering LIB for SF Yoga Mag last year changed that perspective for me and I absolutely loved it…

Shahla's first trip to India was in 1995. She was so moved by the state of children there, that she vowed to come back to India to dedicate her life to helping poor children and families, especially women. In 2002 she sold her house, her personal belongings, her business, left the love of her life and moved to India...

The BaliSpirit Festival is happening April 2nd - April 8th of this year and we can not wait to go! One of the things I love about this festival, is that their mission is to fully embody the traditional philosophy of island life on Bali Trip Hita Karana...

I had the incredible opportunity to attend the workshop Radical Healing: Yoga for These Times with Kerri Kelly last month at Yoga Tree. I’ve been hearing the word ‘radical’ a lot recently. I have seen several yoga classes/workshops using the word radical for their descriptions and even the theme of this past Burning Man was Radical Ritual. I feel like the word radical is overused and watered down. Kerri’s Radical Healing workshop was anything but watered down...

S.A.N.D. stands for ‘Science and Non-Duality Conference’ which they describe as both "a forum where preeminent scientists, philosophers, teachers, artists and a large, international community gather to explore and advance the new paradigm emerging in spirituality," and "a playground where we come together to explore and share insights or simply reflect on what is emerging in consciousness"...

Shakti isn’t gender specific…It ( She!) is in everyone and everything—because what Shakti truly is is the energy that creates and sustains life! The tantric view here is that in ‘ordinary’ life, the life-force works to direct our attention outwards through the senses and perceptual apparatus, which gives us the experience of separation from others and the world...

People were silent minus gasps of awe and sounds of people crying. It was like being pulled through a vortex. The moon was dark in a light sky and everything around looked like the most gorgeous red and orange sunset you've ever seen. I found myself weeping at the glory and the opportunity to see this miracle...

Just stand there. Drink it in. Look at the horizon all the way around you, it will look like a sunset all the way around you. It will be life changing and my goal is to educate people. "Nobody gets it until they SEE it!..."

There's a danger and a risk in yoga growing in popularity. While it can benefit more people, it has become disconnected from it's lineage and it's purpose can be forgotten. When it becomes more about vanity, it can lead to dangerous outcomes...

LIB is a great festival for yogis and yoginis, especially those who want more than just asana at a festival. This festival season, get out there-try something new, because,after all, it's ALL just yoga...
