A women’s circle exploring our creativity through yoga, meditation and drawing.
Update from David on Monday, March 23
Hi everyone!
I am thankful that our event can still take place even with the challenging circumstances. Fortunately I have extensive experience offering all kinds of live stream classes. Many of you know my teachings by watching my Asana Kitchen videos. I will still provide excellent content that will inspire you and help you develop your practice.
For the led classes I’ll give precise, clear verbal instructions on the specific topics that you’ll find in the class descriptions. Also there will be a model to demonstrate and help you see what to do.
For the Mysore classes I use verbal cues to give adjustments more than physical assists. My verbal style of teaching is conducive to a live stream format. I am an expert in articulating instructions that will give you a different or new experience of a pose. I have a large projector screen so I will be able to see you well. I will also invite you to send me a short summary of your practice or let just let me know what you want to work on.
I look forward to working with you, OM! David
ALL LEVELS WELCOME —
He offers clinic style led classes that investigate specific aspects of the practice that help students come to new perspectives on how to practice more intelligently, safely and joyfully.
In his workshops David offers a combination both traditional counted vinyasa led classes and clinic style led classes that investigate specific aspects of the practice in varying levels of detail. These important classes feature more verbal instruction; they give students a chance to slow things down, see new ways to orient during practice, get explanations of elusive, often unspoken aspects of the practice, and understand the Ashtanga method in greater, more subtle detail. Mysore, chanting and kirtan classes are also frequently included in a workshop. During the weekend David weaves together studies of asana, pranayama, bandhas, vinyasa, chanting, bhakti yoga, yoga sutra’s and other elements to help develop Ashtanga Vidya (knowledge).

In this ongoing series, we engage in discussion of a specific topic from a contemplative standpoint. The interactive work is punctuated by periods of guided meditation. We will turn inward to observe thoughts and feelings, and together consider how meditation practice can lay the groundwork for skillful action. The themes of privilege and justice will underpin and inform all of our conversations.
Organized and hosted by Barbara and Melanie, with monthly guest speakers.
Kirtan is a practice of devotional singing in community. We sing the names of the gods and goddesses and contemplate what these deities represent: love, joy, grace, beauty, perseverance, strength, and truth.

Meditations on Pink
My painting practice is an extension of my decades long yoga and meditation practices. My imagery and approaches are inspired by my loves of abstraction, geometry and spirituality. Using a combination of acrylics and pencil, I work on canvas, wood or board. I always employ various techniques, typically those used by gestural and geometric abstractionists.
I loved pink as a child, and since my sophomore year of undergraduate painting, I have been enamored with all shades of pink paint. In this new body of work, I made the color pink the focal point, or, as we say in yoga, the drishti.
According to symbolists, pink is the color of universal love of oneself and of others, and it represents unconditional love and understanding. It signifies affection, caring, compassion, friendship, harmony, inner peace, and approachability. Pink is associated with passion, good health and success. As you view the work, I hope you feel and absorb, consciously and subconsciously, these very things.
In loving memory of my father,
Gina Dominique
