Bethany Gonyea is the founder of NUMINOUS, the sponsor of the Resonant Peaceful Cities Project. Her passion is teaching people how to live an empowered life in real life by becoming “Intentional Coherence Athletes.” This means that they train by practicing reliable biofeedback and intentional skills similar to the way athletes train to play sports or musicians practice to master their instruments to sustain coherence through daily challenges.
It is with amazing gratitude that I write this post…As I look at each of these events, I recognize how blessed we are because I have met so many wonderful people of such wisdom and depth. You will see below that we are collaborating with amazing individuals. There is an event for almost everyone here this month, and two events will be held in beautiful outdoor places. Please scroll all the way down…all of these events support our efforts to encourage intentions for peace research. Living The Discipline of Conscious Intentionality Bethany Gonyea, NUMINOUS founder Wednesday June 1, at 7:00 PM Unity Church of Albany
More and more research is documenting that our mental intentions have real world impact. As we come to grasp the enormous implications of this research, we learn how important it becomes that we create through conscious intention rather than unconscious default. With Intention…everything counts…so we need to be brutally honest with ourselves about what intentions we are emitting at all times. We also need be aware when we are going “unconscious.” Conscious Intention only works when we are inputting the same signal into the field repeatedly, and we don’t fall asleep at the wheel.
To skillfully sculpt our lives through intention, we need to learn the discipline of keeping our desires alive while facing life’s inevitable challenges. We will discuss the concept that maintaining conscious intentions is similar to living from the peaceful eye of a storm. We may see all softs of things flying in the wind but learn not to attach to them and fly away ourselves. We will also discuss what is our role in creating our lives and how to interface skillfully with the Loving Intelligence that connects us all, to sculpt a lives of the deepest meaning and engagement.

The Jaguar Path: the Benefits of Shamanic Skills in Every Day Life – Part 1 Ray Crist, Shaman and Founder of The Jaguar Path Yoga School Wednesday June 8, at 7:00 PM Unity Church in Albany
Shamans are men and women who heal themselves an train others to cultivate their power and abilities to heal by learning to shift into “second attention” First attention includes all of the ordinary information we experience through our five senses every day. However, Shamans also access information form “Second Attention”, which means they sense the additional energy and information flowing around the filters of our five senses. A power innate to all of us. “Listen to your heart” ” Trust your gut feeling” etc.
When we train to widen our perceptual fields we can access this wealth of information along with a quite confidence and inner peace. Through the tools you will learn you will accelerate your healing and find both courage and the capacity to make the changes your heart and higher self wants you to make!
By training our minds to sense and become aware of this subtle information the way shamans do, we gain access to a whole new breadth of information that can be highly advantageous to our path. We can even start to make changes without “white knuckling” them, because we have accelerated accessing the crisp clarity required for sudden change. As we learn how to access this occluded information we gain great wisdom and discernment, and our steps become more sure.
In this class, we are happy to invite back by popular demand, Ray Crist, founder of the Jaguar Path School of Yoga and Shamanism. Ray will be offering us some practical Shamanic tools and understandings He will share with us how Shamanic training can help westerners to: – Learn tools that will help heal past traumas – develop an abiding sense of personal power, integrity and authenticity – understand your place and purpose in life – develop innate psychic impressions (second attention) and understand them as a spiritual resource – deepen creative inspiration and expression – strengthen established regular spiritual practices – deepen your understanding of your personal relationships with nature, people, and living environments – experience deep mystical states that can elevate and stabilize you morally, spiritually and emotionally
This fall, Ray will be opening a chapter of his Jaguar Path Yoga School through NUMINOUS this fall, so we will be offering similar classes so that people can get a good experience of his work, and learn whether they would like to expand their training through the comprehensive 9 month program .

An Introduction to the Avatar Material – Living Deliberately Anna Witt. Avatar Master Wednesday June 15, at 7:00 PM Unity Church of Albany
In this class we are fortunate to have Anna Witt, master of the extremely profound Avatar materials synthesized and collected by Harry Palmer. The Avatar® Course is a set of practical, effective tools that allows people, in a very short time, to identify and change the conclusions, decisions, and agreements that are shaping their lives. Participants set new goals or revive old ones, and use their rediscovered powers, create opportunities,motivation, and the courage to pursue dreams.
“Avatar is a non – religious practice that allows a person to reconnect with their true spiritual self. And along the way, students discover the source of issues, problems and concerns, learn ways to resolve and eliminate those issues, problems and concerns, and as a consequence gain the ability to create the life they want. This is known as living deliberately.”
So, Avatar doesn’t really discuss what is consciousness per se, but it provides you with fundamentals tools on how your consciousness works.
“Allow yourself the gift of universal perspective. Wisdom will appear and your actions will be motivated by an intuitive, spontaneous, benevolent intent. There is no regret. Do useful things. Help others for the delight of helping others. Concentrate on adding value to the world rather than consuming the world.” – Harry Palmer, author of the Avatar materials

Special event! Violence Interrupters: Film Screening and Panel Discussion Meet Everyday Heroes that Protect Albany Streets! Saturday October 22 at Hubbard Interfaith Sanctuary College of Saint Rose 959 Madison Ave, Albany 6:00-9:00 PM
The Interrupters documentary presents unforgettable profiles in courage, as three former street criminals in Chicago place themselves in the line of fire to protect their communities. The two-hour film follows the lives of these “Violence Interrupters,” who include the charismatic daughter of one of the city’s most notorious former gang leaders, the son of a murdered father, and a man haunted by a killing he committed as a teenager. As they intervene in disputes to prevent violence, they reveal their own inspired journeys of struggle and redemption. This work is the inspiration for our local Cure Violence chapter (formerly SNUG) funded through Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region.
After the documentary, we will have a panel discussion featuring real life Cure Violence Interrupterswho work heroically to reduce violence in Albany.
Donations will be collected to support local organizations that support peace in Albany.
Utilizing Higher Consciousness in Everyday Life Todd Cunningham, author of Energy 101 11/6 at 2:00 PM Spirit Tree Connections 987 New Loudon Road,Latham NY
Cultivating higher consciousness goes far beyond the meditation cushion. As we cultivate higher states within ourselves, we begin feeling more comfortable in our every day interactions in this world. We begin to feel more personal meaning, and deep connection to people in our lives. Unfortunately, many people have not learned skills to communicate with Higher Intelligence so they don’t feel a connection between ther spiritual lives and their daily lives.
In this Discussion, Todd Cunningham, author of Energy 101, (a personal manual with 10 exercises to help you become more conscious, aware and able to communicate with your higher source), will offer guided meditations and exercises geared to help you become more conscious and aware of your unique connection with Source, your higher consciousness. We all have our own unique connection to the Divine, and Todd will be helping us reveal our own personal connection through skilled exercises. By becoming more conscious of this connection, we are able to reliably access our higher nature and live happier and healthier lives with greater ease and joy. We will find, there is no standard answer to these life questions and the answers are uniquely ours. As we learn to skillfully pause and polish our connection to the Divine, it deepens and enhances our entire existence.

Gaining Traction with Law of Attraction: Making Decisions With Great Amplitude Bethany Gonyea Sunday 11/13 at 2:00 PM Spirit Tree Connections 987 New Loudon Road,Latham NY
“You are far too tolerant of mind wandering” A Course in Miracles
People often yearn for change, and yet perpetuate mental habits that keep them stuck. So many times, we find ourselves in mental loops, and have no idea that we have been through the loop hundreds of times. These mental cul de sacs are often the reason why our intentional efforts to not take effect. We spend far too much of our time in dead end thinking.
I heard someone say recently that he wanted to take some time off to heal, however, I had heard the person say this during many other situations. I suggested it was no longer a time for him to heal, as it is a time to make a decision to be healed and stick with it. Healing any aspect of our lives often comes down to us making a decision, and the decision must be made with a great amplitude for it to hold enough power for change.
In this talk we will discuss law of attraction and the areas where we feel stuck and trapped. We will help you to review your thinking, and see where you can make a decision to move forward, whether outwardly or not. You will be able to examine your thoughts and get off the hamster wheel you may find yourself on, and make a decision with such amplitude and power that you will finally be able to move forward in creating the life you want. You will feel like a door has been opened, and you will need to decide if you want to walk through it.

The Art of Feminine Presence Jill Boyd 11/20 at 2:00 PM Spirit Tree Connections 987 New Loudon Road,Latham NY
If you are a woman who has been on a personal and spiritual growth path for quite some time and wanting to stop pushing to make things happen, come and experience an informational session and demonstration on the Art of Feminine Presence. It is a series of unique and tangible practices that increases a woman’s presence, feminine energy and vocal power so she can be heard, be seen and inspire change. These are practical tools that create massive results. You will see the change in yourself and other women immediately. It is undeniable. It is not where we intellectually discuss whether the feminine needs to be more present in our society. We already know that. It is not that we dance on a beach with hip scarves in the hope it will change our lives. We can do that on our own. Imagine walking into any room or any situation with a magnetic presence and attract the attention you want in your career and in your relationships. Your life will be transformed.
Jill Boyd is a certified teacher in the Art of Feminine Presence. She is an iconic image stylist. She is licensed in New York as a registered nurse and aesthetician. She received a masters degree from Long Island University in Community Mental Health Counseling. She graduated from Austin’s School of Spa Technology and afterwards received training from the Stoltz Image Institute in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas; Gabriel Productions in Miami, Florida; The Universal Style System in San Moreno, California; and the Conselle Institute of Image Management in Provo, Utah.

Mark Shepard, composer of the theme song of the Albany Peace Project, “Be The Change” is putting together an amazing lineup of his favorite talented musicians and calling this one time band the “The Rogue Mystics.” As part of his own personal 90 day challenge last summer he fantasized about what a cool and wonderful thing it would be to gather all of his favorite and beloved musicians together for a spontaneous and improvisational spiritual but not religious evening of his positive genre music sung by multiple voices and instruments… and a small, intimate audience that was every bit a part of the “band” as the band…Come join us on
Come join us on November 19th, 2016 at Overit Studios, new Scotland Ave., Albany NY. 7-9:30 pm. Get tickets here: Mark Shepard and The Amazing Rogue Mystics ( Get yours Now! Before they’re sold out!)
Here’s Mark’s lineup so far:
1 Joe Mennonna – Joe Mennonna is one of the most incredible musicians of our time. You name it, he can either sight read it or play it by ear. And on about 20 different instruments. Flute, piano, tuba, trumpet, saxophone, guitar, drums, bass, pipe organ, accordion… whatever. He plays everything. He has played with everyone from Don McClean to Deep Purple, Vanessa Williams, Tom Rush, David Bromberg and currently touring with The Bacon Brothers (as in Kevin Bacon the famous actor guy).
2 Gene Moore – Gene Moore is an amazing electric guitarist. Mark thinks he’s one of the best in the world.
3 Rilee O’Neill – Rilee O’Neill is the golden voice that really nailed my Posi award for “Together We Can Change The World.” She sang it back when she was only 11 years old. And she’s sung a few things recently like “Oh My Beloved” that Mark can’t wait to play for you. She loves to improvise and she will get a chance to do just that for your ears.
4 Joy Adler – Joy is one of Mark’s most recent musical collaborators. She sang awesomely on four of his most recent productions and added so much spark and fire, silk and soul to those tunes that HE HAD to have her join us. She, like Mark and pretty much every other player in Mark’s “dream band” is not just a musician. She is a masterful energy healer and it is so fitting to make music AND healing with her.
5 Brian Mellick – Mark has known Brian for probably 20 years. He kept bumping into him in various places and felt so moved and inspired by his percussion genius and personal authenticity that he just envisioned playing with him.
6 Roger Mock – The man who got Mark to learn other people’s songs! While Mark Shepard has known some of the dream band longer, Roger is the one he has played with the most. For 5 and a half years they essentially did 3 gigs a week and Mark wrote 30 new songs in his general direction. He will be joining us on Mandolin, guitar and vocals.
7 Pete Furlong – Mark and Pete enjoy singing harmonies together. Pete’s fine clear tenor is simply the perfect blend for Mark’s voice. AND he’s an awesome percussionist and multi-instrumentalist and songwriter.
8 Sarah Puig – Sings some of the most unusual and cool harmonies I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing. She is also an endless source of sweet quirkyness and wicked good puns as well as a fine multi-instrumentalist and songwriter.
9 Mike Covey – After Mark jammed with Mike, he quite literally caused him to create an entirely new way of playing that has increased his enjoyment of playing music with other people 10 fold. He is totally self taught but he’s one of the best teachers Mark knows.
10 Gary Goldberg –“Master of Ceremonies”.

2017 Albany Peace Project Kickoff Program Concert – Participate in the Albany Peace Project This January and Awaken the Hero Within with the Albany Peace Project This January! Friday Evening, December 30, Unity Church of Albany 7:00 PM
As the testimonials say below, amazing things happen when people participate in the Albany Peace Project. The theme of this year is “Awakening the Hero Within,” because after three years of offering APP, we have heard some powerful stories of how when we advocate for the dignity and honor of others, we enlargen ourselves. We feel greater dignity, self respect and deep purpose with our lives. In these times of great global turmoil, we can find a place in ourselves through these meditations, where we know we are connected to a Loving Intelligence that connects us all, and “vote with our heart” to accelerate the presence of peace on this planet. Taking a stand in our own hearts for peace, instead of feeling victimized by media accounts, makes our head go up and our shoulders go back. Meditation Peace research has been demonstrated, however we need your help to get the local measurable results. We can’t just talk about peace…we must “be it”
Come join us for a catalyzing uplifting evening on Friday Evening December 30 with exhilarating group of musicians, singers and and also inspiring speakers!!! The program concert will help you to start 2017 off right and set you on a trajectory to make 2017 your best year yet!
After participating int the Albany Peace Projet for two years, it is still hard to describe what participaing in the Albany Peace Project does…but it just changes you…for the better.
I asked my husband to join me meditating Jan 1 as part of the Peace Project, not something he would choose to do. We selected 5:00 pm as our time. Yesterday at 4:50, he asked if we were going to be meditating. Thank you for creating this project. Peace starts at home. It has descended here!
I was very moved by today’s meditation, and I’m very moved by your work. Thank you.
First, your guided meditations this year are beyond wonderful. I am loving them all.
You’ve got some interesting people you’ve interviewed.
Great interview & meditation today. Thanks
Wow! I LOVE your guided meditation. You are so sweet and gentle. Having us envision Albany residents in scenarios is brilliant! You are a gem; APP is fortunate to have you on the team.
Todd Cunningham, author of Energy Work 101 Sunday 11/13 at 2:00 PM Spirit Tree Connections 987 New Loudon Road,Latham NY
Cultivating higher consciousness goes far beyond the meditation cushion. As we cultivate higher states within ourselves, we begin feeling more comfortable in our every day interactions in this world. We begin to feel more personal meaning, and deep connection to people in our lives. Unfortunately, many people have not learned skills to communicate with these more elusive aspect of themselves, so they don’t feel a connection between ther spiritual lives and their daily lives.
In this Discussion, Todd Cunningham, author of Energy Work 101, (a personal manual with 10 exercises to help you become more conscious, aware and able to communicate with your higher source), will offer guided meditations and exercises geared to help you become more conscious and aware of your unique connection with Source, your higher consciousness. We all have our own unique connection to the Divine, and Todd will be helping us reveal our own personal connection through skilled exercises. By becoming more conscious of this connection, we are able to reliably access our higher nature and live happier and healthier lives with greater ease and joy. We will find, there is no standard answer to these life questions and the answers are uniquely ours. As we learn to skillfully pause and polish our connection to the Divine, it deepens and enhances our entire existence.
November 19th, 2016 at Overit Studios, new Scotland Ave., Albany NY. 7-9:30 pm. Get tickets here: Mark Shepard and The Amazing Rogue Mystics ( Get yours Now! Before they’re sold out!)
Mark Shepard, composer of the theme song of the Albany Peace Project, “Be The Change” is putting together an amazing lineup of his favorite talented musicians and calling this one time band the “The Rogue Mystics.” As part of his own personal 90 day challenge last summer he fantasized about what a cool and wonderful thing it would be to gather all of his favorite and beloved musicians together for a spontaneous and improvisational spiritual but not religious evening of his positive genre music sung by multiple voices and instruments… and a small, intimate audience that was every bit a part of the “band” as the band…Come join us on
Come join us on November 19th, 2016 at Overit Studios, new Scotland Ave., Albany NY. 7-9:30 pm. Get tickets here: Mark Shepard and The Amazing Rogue Mystics ( Get yours Now! Before they’re sold out!)
Here’s Mark’s lineup so far:
1 Joe Mennonna – Joe Mennonna is one of the most incredible musicians of our time. You name it, he can either sight read it or play it by ear. And on about 20 different instruments. Flute, piano, tuba, trumpet, saxophone, guitar, drums, bass, pipe organ, accordion… whatever. He plays everything. He has played with everyone from Don McClean to Deep Purple, Vanessa Williams, Tom Rush, David Bromberg and currently touring with The Bacon Brothers (as in Kevin Bacon the famous actor guy).
2 Gene Moore – Gene Moore is an amazing electric guitarist. Mark thinks he’s one of the best in the world.
3 Rilee O’Neill – Rilee O’Neill is the golden voice that really nailed my Posi award for “Together We Can Change The World.” She sang it back when she was only 11 years old. And she’s sung a few things recently like “Oh My Beloved” that Mark can’t wait to play for you. She loves to improvise and she will get a chance to do just that for your ears.

Intention: Connection and Examples of Validation J Kelly Reed 12/5 at 2:00 PM Spirit Tree Connections 987 New Loudon Road,Latham NY
Living a life of intention can be baffling at first, but over the years, patterns emerge. After working with intention for long periods of time, people develop a confidence that comes only through commitment to the discipline.
In this NUMINOUS talk we are fortunate to learn from J. Kelly Reed, who has spent a life time developing how to skillfully live on a moment to moment basis with intention. Kelly will teach us to stand in our presence of the I AM while we face any challenge and cultivate a peace heart for those around us; as standing in our presence creates dynamic change.
Carving a homestead from a raw piece of land, living from the gifts of the earth over the years has kept me grounded, and centered. I received a certification from Cornell University for Home processing and a Certification from the Department of Agriculture; thus began a career involving Farmers Markets and Organic Baking. I became a member with the American Red Cross and held a NYS Ombudsman certification and a volunteer with Hospice. Recently I did a tour in Iraq as a civilian on military bases where I began the understanding in earnest of energies and their affect thus returning home to find exactly how healing energy works; I studied and received certifications in both Past Life Regression, BioEnergy Therapy, Medical Intuition and am an Ordained Minister.

The Art of Feminine Presence Jill Boyd 1/8/17 at 2;00 (was scheduled for 11/20 at 2:00 PM) Spirit Tree Connections 987 New Loudon Road,Latham NY
If you are a woman who has been on a personal and spiritual growth path for quite some time and wanting to stop pushing to make things happen, come and experience an informational session and demonstration on the Art of Feminine Presence. It is a series of unique and tangible practices that increases a woman’s presence, feminine energy and vocal power so she can be heard, be seen and inspire change. These are practical tools that create massive results. You will see the change in yourself and other women immediately. It is undeniable. It is not where we intellectually discuss whether the feminine needs to be more present in our society. We already know that. It is not that we dance on a beach with hip scarves in the hope it will change our lives. We can do that on our own. Imagine walking into any room or any situation with a magnetic presence and attract the attention you want in your career and in your relationships. Your life will be transformed.
Jill Boyd is a certified teacher in the Art of Feminine Presence. She is an iconic image stylist. She is licensed in New York as a registered nurse and aesthetician. She received a masters degree from Long Island University in Community Mental Health Counseling. She graduated from Austin’s School of Spa Technology and afterwards received training from the Stoltz Image Institute in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas; Gabriel Productions in Miami, Florida; The Universal Style System in San Moreno, California; and the Conselle Institute of Image Management in Provo, Utah.
1.14.17 – Bethany Gonyea – Collective Emotion and “Global Coherence”
Please consider donating if these meditations are helpful to you. We are rapidly expanding and could really use more financial support to keep up with growth. You can donate here at: https://www.peacefulcities.org/donate/, or send a check made to Numinous, c/o Bethany Gonyea (this is important otherwise they don’t recognize the PO box) at PO Box 1322, Clifton Park, NY 12065.
Interestingly, I am finding myself having trouble finding words to write, because I am overwhelmed with unspeakable gratitude.
Thanks to everyone for participating in Albany Peace Project 2017. We asked for people to step up and become “heroes” this year, and definitely more people responded!! Whether or not we reached the tipping point is yet to be evaluated, however, approximately 125-150 more people participated each day this year! Thank you so much for hearing the call to lift the world and doing your part to facilitate Global Coherence.
As you can learn from the Institute of Heartmath’s video, gobal coherence is a very real possibility and phenomenon, and you have all heard your Hero’s call to catalyze a quickening of it. Please inspire your friends and family to do the same. I want to acknowledge you for taking personal responsibility to better your own life and others. As you continue to ‘vote with your heart’ I can tell you from personal experience, you will only continue to reap more benefits of of this historic work. I can also vouch that the benefits you reap get better as well!
The Albany Peace Project is evolving into the Resonant Peaceful Cities Project, and I am working toward having the peaceful cities “cross pollinate.” Our initial peaceful cities are Schenectady, Boston, Phoenix, Mexico City and possibly Dallas and Chicago. These cities have spontaneously emerged with only a brief one minute video tagged on at the end of a webinar last August with Dr. Joe, and we are still working hard to catch up with demand. I am confident that when we do officially launch the Resonant Peaceful Cities Project and “open for business” we will be flooded with inquiries.
At least initially, we are not charging any fees to these cities, and we are funding meeting these additional demands through Numinous. I am starting my sixth year of still working only as a volunteer for Numinous. I strongly urge you to attend Numinous events or offer a small monthly donation to help us fund this rapid expansion. You can make a small recurring donation at this link: albanypeaceproject.com/donate/
This is a unique opportunity where common ordinary citizens can “vote” with their heart and have their intentions recorded and documented!! This documentation of coherence research is going to be what is required to mitigate the current tide of relentless meaningless human suffering. We need your help to provide the documentation that this work works! Evidence based” tools are what is required to garner support, so lets continue to raise awareness and add to the current research as an independent organization to duplicate other research and give the world something to talk about….or should I say, something positive to talk about!
You have great power to positively influence history. I hope you start with participating in the Phoenix Peach Project launching this summer.
Volunteers are desperately needed. We will have our first volunteer meeting in mid March to begin planning for Albany Peace Project 2018. Please look for more information on that soon.
Thanks to Kirk Harbinger again for introducing us to the term, common coherence! Let’s make coherence a household word.
We hope to have a grand opening for the Resonant Peaceful Cities Project that will be streamed among the cities, but until then check out our new website( still under construction) at: www.PeacefulCities.org
PLEASE NOTE: Albany Peace Project 2017 will be ending this Sunday.

People struggle with change for decades because they often do not understand that enduring transformation occurs at the level of the nervous system, not at the level of thought. Without mastery of basic nervous system, energetic, and interpersonal and intentional skills we are set up to fail when it comes to change. This will be an introduction to the curriculum of a ten month master class with only ten slots open.
If you were to undergo a metamorphosis in 10 months, who would you want to become?

SAVE THE DATE: Funny You Should Say That – Spiritual Comedy Night – with medium, Brandon Russ
Saturday evening March 11, at 6:00.
Shenendehowa Adult Community Center, 6 Clifton Common Court, Clifton Park, NY
Did you ever find spirituality funny?
Have you ever snickered at the ironic situations that emerge as we attempt to skillfully walk between the worlds of Maya and Mystery?
Have you ever stepped back from the latest spiritual book you were reading and say to your self, “What the heck and I reading?”
Or better yet, put a book cover over it?
NUMINOUS invites you to sit back, relax and laugh at the spiritual life with medium and comedian, Brandon Russ. Brandon will give us an entirely different perspective on the latest spiritual book we are reading so that we smile the next time we pick it up to read.
It is well known in shamanic traditions of indigenous healers that only when we can laugh and take ourselves lightly are we capable of any spiritual mastery. It is common for shamans to be “tricksters” and set up clever situations to challenge people to lull themselves out of their dull day dreams and remind themselves of the adventure everyday life really is. So come on out this Saturday evening, and laugh yourself to heightened consciousness…all for the greater good, of course!
More information coming soon….
SAVE THE DATE: Yoga Comedy Night – “I’d rather be in Samadhi”
Saturday evening May 13, at 6:00.
Shenendehowa Adult Community Center, 6 Clifton Common Court, Clifton Park, NY
Have you ever had a yoga wardrobe malfunction exposing a little too much?
Or pretend you don’t see that happening to someone else?
Have you ever felt impossibly inflexible as you see others in what would be considered anywhere else, a “compromising’ pose.
Have you ever gone to a hot yoga class and forgotten the clothes to change into after your shower?
When people start to attend yoga classes, they often want to spontaneously break out in laughter. It is natural. Then, we tend to get used to the language, the ambiance, and the poses, and unfortunately, it is tempting to take it a little too seriously! At this first annual yoga comedy night, we are going to remember why yoga is so funny! We will be inviting several yoga studios to participate! Please reach out if you are interested!
