Yoga Yoga Drum Drumming

Drum Into the New Year!
January 8 - 10, 2010

Yoga and Hand Drumming
at Kripalu Center

Infuse your New Year’s intentions with rhythm in this dynamic, fun-filled weekend of African hand drumming and Kripalu Yoga. Come access new energy, expand your awareness, and cultivate transformation as we delve into the interplay of yoga and drumming. We’ll practice bringing the consciousness of yoga to our drumming and the primal pulse of drumming to our yoga—and have a great time in the process.

You’ll start each day with an early-morning, rhythm-filled Kripalu Yoga practice to reconnect with the innate pulse of your own body, breath, and energy. We’ll then take this vibrant aliveness and shift into drumming, exploring

  • African-influenced rhythms
  • Proper body mechanics and drumming technique
  • Drum circle experience
  • Basic and intermediate solo technique
  • Take-home practice rhythms.

Come help us set positive rhythms for the New Year. No drumming or yoga experience is necessary.

Note Please bring a drum if you have one. If not, be sure to let us know when you register that you need a drum, so that we can reserve one for you. Bring an audio recorder if you’d like.
