What better way to rejoice than with music, song, maybe some dance and general marry making.  If your planning on staying close to home there are two YTOC summer events you'll want to mark on your calendar.  On Saturday July 25, 2009 at 7:30 PM we will meet at Littleton Yoga Center for Kirtan.  On Saturday August 29, 2009 at The Enchanting Mountain Moon Yoga Studio in Winter Park, Colorado we will meet for chanting.  And there are lots of wonderful events happening around town hosted by our member studios.
