Yogis, we all know about the healing power of sound. We channel vibration with our ohms at the beginning and end of class, we look to the power of the harmonium and sitar to evoke the bhakti during chanting, and most of us enjoy a sound track during our flows...

Last week SF Yoga attended The Yoga Expo LA at the Pasadena Convention Center and we were blown away at the power of this one day experience. Instead of doing a traditional wrap up piece, we will be dropping interviews from our favorite vendors and teachers for the next few weeks. To start the fun, we sat down with Kyle Michaud, the founder of The Yoga Expo...

This is perfect music for your yoga playlist. We know, because it’s been on our playlist all year long! Someone always comments at the end of class wanting to know what the cool mix of Indian vocals and dance beats is. The answer is Desert Dwellers...

Two hours passed by in what felt like one large inhale. Then Wah! walked around and distributed flower petals as a physical reminder of the sacred experience from which we had all returned. The evening left a deep imprint on my soul. It’s a memory I tapped into when the heightened emotions of the holidays became too much. It is a well of healing from which I continue to draw...

Another amazing film that played at the festival was When I Stutter. Yogis, we know this film has nothing to do with moksha or traveling to India, but it is one of the most touching films we have ever seen. If you know someone who stutters, or even if you don’t but you want to learn more about what it is like to embody this speech disorder, this film will bring you to tears...

One reason this is so different is, this is the first time that I will be just accompanying myself, no soloist, no second singer. I spent a lot of my career with very large bands, my albums earlier on with the Pagan Love Orchestra, there were 4 albums with them and it was always between 11 and 15 people...

It allows us the safe space to confront some of the things that we have been guarding against by using or drinking. And for me there is so much more healing in that. The discharge of trauma stored in up your body. More than any therapy or anything else. So yoga is just particularly effective because you have to slow down a little bit and it integrates the mind and the body...

Kundalini is meant for everybody. It’s not confined to any group. It’s for humanity to help us live more smooth, elevated lives. It’s really, fun, we have a good time and it can help you enjoy life more...

This book is a backstage pass to the birth of MC Yogi; “The crowd went wild, and all participated in the call-and-response of the chorus. And so it was, on a rooftop in India, that MC YOGI was born..."

Simrit’s entrance to the stage raised the vibrations of the collective audience. Her small frame, draped in a black and white floor length patterned gown, was gilded by her quintessential large white and gold head piece, a homage to her Greek roots....
