Deeper Studies Program

Why Deeper Studies?

We already have workshops, so why "Deeper Studies"? These workshops will be held in the more intimate setting of our Garden Studio, offering you a chance to work with teachers you may not know on topics they are passionate about. Stuff they'd love to share with you, but just can't fit into a regular class. By their nature, our regular classes are more generalized, perfect for anyone to drop in to. These workshops and series will delve deeper into topics both physical and philosophical, guiding you to a new understanding of the vastness of yoga.

The Singing Body - The Way of the Goddess
with Daniela Ardalla
 

Friday July 25, 6:00-8:00 pm, $20 
(Garden Studio)

Singing, playing, and listening to devotional Indian music connects us with our spiritual bodies, uplifts our emotions and creates balance. In this introductory workshop, we’ll take a journey through vocal exercises in the Bilawal scale, toning, vibration and rhythms, concluding with beautiful traditional songs accompanied with the tamboura and other guest instruments. 

Daniela Ardalla, CYT, studied Hindustani music in India and Argentina, where she played for world music bands and co-produced Classical Hindustani music concerts. Over the past 10 years she’s been playing tamboura (a traditional Hindustani stringed instrument) and sharing devotional songs from India. Her acoustic music creates a vibrant atmosphere for healing meditation, yoga classes, and personal transformation. Daniela offers community yoga classes at Santa Monica yoga on Sundays. Please check her website at: www.shamansyoga.com.
