The Westgate is updating the flooring on the 4th floor where the yoga room is located. Not a problem for we yogis! Give yourself a little extra time to navigate the construction on your way to class. Thanks for your patience.
We have some changes to the schedule. Let me know what you think, email me @ yogakulaproject @gmail.com.
Part of the eight limbs of yoga is the practice of non-attachment. While non-attachment is also a practice in itself, it is more than just a practice. Non-attachment is a way of living life; a state of being; as well as a result of the practices of the yoga sutras and meditation. As soon as we attach the labels of my and mine to this element of ownership, we willingly link this material possession to who we are. In doing so, we allow ourselves to become vulnerable to judgment, vulnerable to the miseries of loss, overcome by the burdens of acquiring more and satisfying the desires of attainment. Non-attachment is a difficult concept for the human mind to overcome, especially for those of us in the Western world.
I am guilty of attachment; I am attached to the studio and Yoga Kula Project. In the past few days, I have been forced to address the attachments I have cultivated. I guess that some of you are, also, attached to what we have created at the Yoga Kula Project. However, there are going to be some changes in the yoga room that are out of my control. As such, I will do my best to make these changes create an even more amazing studio. I will need your help and patience as these changes take effect in the next few months. Maybe we can all work on non-attachment together? After all, we are the yoga kula (community) project!
Our asana practice can have a positive impact on our lives because it constantly asks us to become more sensitive, more conscious, and more aware of our bodies, minds, feelings, and emotions. As our 
sensitivity increases, life becomes more rich and enjoyable because we can taste the unique flavor of each individual moment. More important, we also become more aware of what moves us toward our dharma, or life path, and what takes us away from it. This awareness makes us clearer and more peaceful, more able to elegantly handle life’s endless dilemmas without feeling overwhelmed or fearful. As a result, we become more effective in all of our actions, and our presence begins to inspire and bring out the best in people around us. *Aadil Palkhivala @ Yoga Journal.

WHAT IS KIRTAN?
The Spiritual Heart is a place inside we can’t see, but can surely feel. One of the paths of yoga is called Bhakti Yoga, which is the path of the Spiritual Heart. Bhakti Yoga works with the heart channel to develop Love, Acceptance and Endless Surrender into something greater.
Another practice that amplifies the Heart channel is Kirtan, which is the interactive call-and-response art of Singing of the Divine. With all of us praising the One, our voices connect us and we become an orchestra together. As we feel the connection with one another, we can know that we are connected to something greater.
In the feeling of gratitude, we celebrate the beauty of love!
That is Kirtan.

One of the greatest benefits of yoga is the integration of body and mind that comes from regular practice. But yoga is not the only discipline that uses conscious movement to achieve increased strength, flexibility, and health. Many somatic practices such as Feldenkrais also result in greater body awareness and can even deepen your yoga practice. Discover new methods to connect to your body that can complement your existing yoga practice.
We have a local Feldenkrais Practitioner right here in Park City.

Hot 60: Appropriate for all levels. Same principles and poses as the regular 90 minute Bikram Yoga, with a shorter standing series and some poses held for one set. We will, also, combine some flow of poses throughout similar to Vinyasa Yoga. The room is heated between 95 to 105 degrees. This class is 60 minutes and is a great way to fit your yoga in first thing in the morning.
