Join us as we celebrate the teacher everywhere in our annual Guru Purnima celebration. Please bring an item for the altar signifying the guru or teacher you are celebrating, and practice in an open format with other seekers in any way you like—we will chant and sit in meditation together, and leave time in between for you to bow down to all teachers everywhere in your own practice. Doors open at 4am. An amazing way to bring to life an age-old tradition with your yoga family.

Co-taught by Street Yoga Founder and hometown hero Mark Lilly, with Lisa Mae and Diana, this workshop is for adults who are enduring any of the effects of any form of trauma, whether recent or old, psychic or physical, spiritual or emotional. Maybe it manifests as body pain, chronic low-energy or some other unhealthy fallout from past severe experiences; this workshop can help. By cultivating a loving stillness, we can learn to listen to our body, and find the places where we hold the pain and loss of trauma. Using yoga, guided meditation, and chanting, we will learn more about the patterns of old traumas still affecting us, and the ways in which we hold on to pain. Join us as we learn to shake ourselves loose from the tyranny of old pains and step with love into our beautiful lives!
