Sacred Fire: A Vinyasa Flow Practice and Intention Setting Ceremony with
Kendall Hassemer & Uma Kleppinger

Friday, 3/1, 7:00-8:30pm

Optional Workshop,$30

Join Uma Kleppinger and Kendall Hassemer to celebrate the confluence of teachers, traditions, and practices coming together in the spirit of tapas - the alchemistry of transformation through yoga.

Following a brief guided meditation to set our intentions for the weekend, we will move through a dynamic, invigorating vinyasa practice to dissolve the barriers that stand in the way of all the goodness we wish to achieve and receive in our lives.

The class will be accompanied by a lively soundtrack, then ease into a quiet, contemplative closing sequence of yin yoga, infused with the timeless teachings of Rumi, Hafiz, Lao Tzu and other Eastern sages and wisdom teachers. The practice will conclude with a candle lighting ceremony to light the darkness and carry us into the weekend of light, laughter and the love of yoga!

Benjy & Heather Wertheimer at BhaktiFest 2012

Cannon Beach Yoga Festival is thrilled to host Heather and Benjy Wertheimer of Shantala and Friends for this evening of ancient call and response chanting, kirtan. And then kick up our heels in a rousing percussive Community Dance Party!

Kirtan (sacred chanting) has its roots in the sacred music of ancient India. It is growing rapidly in popularity in the West along with the rise of yoga in American culture. Chanting events involve active audience participation and are open to people of all religious backgrounds. The music carries the audience through a journey of ethereal beauty, ecstatic percussion, and singing with the devotion of the heart. It is a celebration of life, love, and the beauty of the human spirit.

Watch a YouTube video of Shantala's Kirtan.

Special Promotion for Yoga Teachers!

Tell Your Students & Take some Credit!
Yoga teachers and studio owners who are registered for the Full Festival Pass are eligible for a $20 rebate for every attendee who, when registering for a Full Festival Pass, identifies that teacher as the way they heard about the festival.

It's easy to do! At the time of registration, a yoga teacher must identify themselves as a teacher or studio owner (there's a question on the form). And when students register for a Full Festival Pass, they identify the teacher as the source for how they heard about the festival (there's a question and a name field for that on the form, too).

Rebates will be tallied and distributed at the festival.
