Music : Holistic Haven 2011 : House of Yoga
The House of Yoga is delighted to be back with Body & Soul in 2011 after two fab house of yoga workshops @ Electric Picnic in 2010.
The House of Yoga brings together the body and the beat, through aligning our inhales and exhales with the tempo of the soundtrack. We tune our breath, then our movements, into the beat to feel our bodies, minds and souls become more rhythmic and alive through 'embodying' the beats in the workshop.
This year there will be a 'live' element to the sessions with a DJ providing the soundtrack to the session. The DJ will work through slow downtempo house music, into a faster, funkier deep house mix with soulful lyrics, back down into a downtempo conclusion. The workshop ends as a regular class does, with a long shavasana (corpse pose) which seals the benefits of the yoga and breathing and provides a sweet contrast to the loud beats.
The workshop also focuses on aligning our sense of our own house (or space on the yoga mat) into the tune of the bigger house music vibration - sharing and building with others the 'home' feeling that only good house music can make. Its a 'bodyparty'!
Karla Kelly has integrated her passion for house music with training in sound healing, breathwork and yoga, into the fun and fabulously funky fusion that is The House of Yoga. She teaches yoga to young and old in Waterford and Kilkenny as well as doing some dj'ing and daily impulsive dancing.
