SIGNIFICANT SATURDAYS
YOGA | MEDITATION | SELF-INQUIRY WORKSHOP WITH ELIZABETH ROSSA
ONE SATURDAY EVERY MONTH
MAY TBD AT SHRILOFT S
4:00-5:15pm YOGA
5:20-6:00pm MEDITATION + SELF-INQUIRY
Please join us for an intelligent and focused yoga class creatively exploring inversions and the finishing asanas. Very often, these postures can be ignored or rushed in a typical yoga class. Therefore, this will be a great opportunity to unpack and relish some of the most grounding and healing poses of the practice. $20-$30, sliding scale.
Then, after savasana, participants are invited to stay for an optional meditation and self-inquiry class for no additional fee.
Those wishing to only attend the meditation and self-inquiry portion of the evening are invited with a suggested donation of $10. Please arrive at 5:20pm and we will come up to let you in.
A CELEBRATION OF SUMMER + ILLUMINATION
INTERWEAVING YOGA, ART + LIVE MUSIC
WITH ELIZABETH ROSSA, LEO VILLAREAL AND TOPU LYO
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29TH 6:30-8PM
GERING & LOPEZ GALLERY, 730 5TH AVE BETWEEN 56TH AND 57TH ST
Please join us for an unprecedented Shriyoga event. A collaboration of Light, Sound and Yoga.
As the New York Times recently observed, you may “just want to sit and gaze in blissful stupefaction” when in the presence of Leo Villareal’s single kinetic light sculpture, “Volume”.
In respect of this possibility, Elizabeth welcomes all those wishing to simply sit and meditate with eyes wide open in the midst of those coming to light up their inner bodies with a breath focused asana practice.
Topu Lyo’s electric cello will underscore the tactile quality of the yoga, allowing for a subtle expansion of the sensory experience as we visually take in the lights.
You can check out a video of Leo’s fascinating work on the Gering & Lopez Gallery website.
*Suggested $25 donation
*Bring your own mat and/or meditation cushion
*Please arrive at gallery no sooner than 6pm as doors open at 6:10pm for sign-in
*We apologize in advance to late-comers as once we begin the event, the doors will be closed to “hold the space” for a focused experience.
Leo Villareal is one of the most celebrated artists of our modern times, offering sublime expressions of Light in sculptural installations across the world. A recent article in Architectural Digest gives an “extended look at the illuminating work”.
Topu Lyo has blown the mind of Shriyogis for many years now with his transcendental electric cello compositions at various Solstice Celebration yoga classes. Elizabeth has often remarked that teaching in tandem with Topu scoring the content of the class creates an experience of Essence that words alone cannot achieve. For those wishing to check out more of Topu’s music, please also go to www.livefootagebrooklyn.com
Elizabeth Rossa is committed to the on-going experiment of how yoga can reveal the mystery of the True Self. Teaching for almost 10 years, Elizabeth continues to be a dedicated student of yoga, meditation and Self-inquiry. She is elated to be immersing herself in a month long teacher intensive this summer in Boulder, Colorado with master teacher Richard Freeman.
