Events

One of the primary intentions of the shala is to open avenues for students and teachers to explore the deeper dimensions of yoga. To support this aspiration we regularly offer quality workshops with local and national teachers spanning the full spectrum of yogic disciplines. Additionally, we offer regularly scheduled events on Friday evenings to celebrate art & music such as kirtan (chanting), drum circles, local artist exhibits, trance dance, spiritual cinema, and open mic nights. Register for any of our events at Kula Yoga Shala or email workshops@kulayogashala.com for more information.

NEW BOOK STUDY with John Pellicci, every Tuesday at 7pm:

The Emerald Tablet: Alchemy for Personal Transformation
by Dennis William Hauck

The Emerald Tablet is an ancient document that contains the essence of the alchemical teachings. It has had an important influence on many Western spiritual and religious traditions. Ostensibly concerned with turning base metals into gold, alchemy was in fact dedicated to transforming the lead of self into the gold of spirit. This brilliant history of alchemy traces its sources back to ancient Egypt, and presents alchemy as a useful, practical system of self-transformation. Each of the seven steps of alchemical transformation is explained, with hands-on techniques and exercises, treating alchemy as a living discipline for achieving a spiritual awakening.

The Transformation of Consciousness and Predictions for 2012 in the Mayan and Hindu Traditions
Saturday, May 19th ~ 7pm - 10pm
$30

What does the end of the Mayan Calendar have to do with yoga? The short answer is...everything! Join us for a fascinating exploration of the connections. Maya priests saw an unbelievable possibility, a briefly opened door, that would appear with a cosmic transition point, 2,000 years in the future. Half a planet away, Hindu rishis saw it too. They used various means to preserve this wisdom and communicate it to the new age. Explore the transition between great ages and the rare astrophysical alignments that are synchronizing the central axis of the body, earth, sun and galaxy with the seat of the creative impulse - with the portal to Vishnu and the dimensions of the Gods. Fit ancient prophecies to the conditions of change we can see in the world and sense in ourselves. Our presenter is Madison Moore, a comparative mythologist and yogi with a direct connection to living Maya priests and calendar-keepers. The astronomical rarities that occur in 2012 begin on the day following this presentation when the Maya god Quetzalcoatl is awakened. He is an archetype of the transformative energies and possibilities that arise in 2012; this event begins to open the door.
