Flow to modern melodies infused with sacred Sanskrit chants as internationally touring musician Girish performs live while Laura Jane guides you through an inspired, all-level yoga class. The evening closes with a Sanskrit lullaby during Savasana — a deeply moving and unforgettable experience. What Makes This Evening Special Live devotional music changes the energy of a room. As Girish plays and sings Sanskrit mantras set to contemporary rhythms, the vibration of sound supports movement, breath, and inner awareness — inviting the kind of deep listening that allows us to be fully present to ourselves and one another. Laura Jane skillfully weaves the music into a thoughtfully sequenced yoga practice, allowing your body to respond organically to rhythm and melody. The class concludes in stillness with a sacred lullaby that settles the nervous system and opens the heart. This is more than a yoga class. It is a shared musical and yogic experience.
