Into The Night - Sacred Music
2023-03-03 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | Svalja Yoga, Duluth, MN, United States
A celebratory 2-hour participatory musical offering full of experiential unity, as we come together from all paths, many lineages, and all directions to share a moment together in song and great heart. We will be doing universal Kirtan, dances of universal peace, and deep dive into the Sufi practice of Zikr. These practices encourage sovereignty while sharing space with others and no experience is necessary, it is forever and always a practice and not a performance. The vibrations of the voices coming together help to significantly dissolve the barriers between us and our hearts, and our hearts alongside all other hearts.

We will lead you on a collective guided meditation and end the circle with a restorative experience. Circling through the seasons will nurture our connection to the earth and our bodies.

Driftless Yoga Festival hopes to serve the larger community through the experience of connecting equity and movement in an event you’ve never experienced before.

The female pelvic floor is a topic that greatly affects women’s health and well-being, yet we rarely speak about what is going on “Down There”!

Join us for this series where we discuss the anatomy of the pelvic floor and the “inner core” muscles, learn exercises to release, stabilize, and then strengthen this vital center. We believe we can improve the functioning of the pelvic floor as we age; now that’s aging gracefully! Join us for one of the simplest, yet effective insurance policies for your health.
