caretakers house yoga tonight, free postural assessment, vote today, & upcoming shows!

hi everyone,

i hope you're all doing well and enjoying this beautiful autumn weather, and the full moon.

i wanted to remind you all about yoga class tonight at the caretakers house. same time, same place!

also, karen, who a lot of you know, is offering a free postural assessment for anyone who wants it. either after class today or you can set something up w/ her in the future. i'm including the info about that below, please email her if you're interested, or just let her know today.

friday i don't think i'll be teaching restorative yoga because i'm going on a yoga retreat w/ my mom! but i hope you can make it in future weeks. (it's $10 for friends.)

as a side note, be sure to go out and vote if you haven't done so yet! it is so quick, as there are only a few things to vote on. if you'd like, there are some suggestions here: http://kateatyrownrisk.posterous.com/kate-slate-2009

lastly, i also wanted to remind you about some shows that i hope you can make it to. :) hope to see you at both of these:

Nov. 12th at the Rickshaw Stop: Michael Musika's next seance in the series with Loyd Family Players, Quinn DeVeaux, & Indianna Hale

Nov. 15th at the Make-Out Room: SeaweedSway Showcase w/ Indianna Hale, "Windy-Gap" (Jeffrey Manson), & Slow Motion Cowboys

thank you, see you soon.

ommmmmmmmm shanti

*Postural Assessment Info from Karen: Hi yoga friends! I am excited to share with you and reinforce the concepts I am learning in this workshop I am participating in. It is an advanced training for Pilates instructors in the application of techniques for physical rehabilitation. I'm offering free postural assessments to anyone who is interested. Why postural assessment? It's informative - aids body awareness and is useful in identifying the body's muscular imbalances that can contribute to pain and predispose the body to injury. Assessments don't take very long to do and it is something we could do right after yoga class. It would be a big help to me to get some extra practice and I think some useful info for you. Let me know if you are interested. :) Karen karen.dancingk@gmail.com

*info for regular classes:

yoga class at the caretakers house ongoing tuesdays.
class is 6:15-7:45pm. arrive by 6:10 to set up.
848 divisadero st. @ mccallister st.
http://caretakers-sf.org
feel free to bring friends, have them rsvp if they're new... all levels are welcome.
cost: trades or $5-10 donations welcome, but not mandatory.

restorative yoga ongoing fridays at the yoga loft.
canceled or will have a sub this week, will resume teaching next week
11am-12:30pm.
321 divisadero st. @ page st.
http://theloftsf.com
cost: this class is now $10 for friends! just tell them at the front desk...
this is different from a regular yoga class, in that you do less poses and hold them for a longer amount of time in a non-strenuous way, all propped up, so the body can relax more deeply... focus is on the breath and gentle opening of places where we hold extra tension and stress...

Jeremy Rourke's CD Release @ Li Po Lounge Tonight w/ Toshio Hirano, Michael Musika, Vanessa VerLee, Karl Young, & me! Halloween Treats & Stencil Art!

Hey everyone,

So, tonight's the big night of Jeremy Rourke's cd release, birthday party, and stencil art showing at the Li Po Lounge in Chinatown. There's a lot going on in SF the night before Halloween, but this show is one to prioritize if possible. It will start early, doors at 8:30pm, and Karl Young starts playing the Shakuhachi (Japanese flute) at 8:45. I'm singing a few songs (for the first time in front of people!) from 9-9:15, then Toshio Hirano (amazing Japanese yodeler) will play right after. Next comes Jeremy Rourke (w/ band!), then Vanessa VerLee (organizer of the show, amazing yogini & musician), then Michael Musika (spooky!), then Jeremy again for a final set. the show will go til midnight or later, so even if you can't come early, stop by at any point to celebrate birthdays, new albums, art, friday, and halloween. There will be good music happening whenever you arrive. And just finished, hand-stamped & stenciled, cds to purchase. We hope you can make it. Wear a costume if you wish, and bring your wishes if you have them.

other shows to save the date for:

see/hear Quinn DeVeaux, Michael Musika, & Indianna Hale on Chasing the Moon: http://chasingthemoon.pdcst.com

MICHAEL MUSIKA
"Michael’s sound is rustic, almost gypsy-like, but it maintains a sense of innocence that is unlike most everything you’ve heard before. His fellow bandmates, mostly friends who play in other projects as well (Matt Adams of Blank Tapes, Eric Kuhn of Silian Rail and Brian Gorman of Tartufi to name a few), helped shape the sound of the album. One senses from their involvement that Musika’s really trying to promote that music, both performing and consuming, is meant to be fun and communal, something to bring us together as performers and spectators. While writing the music for his new album, Musika handed each performer a script with an assigned character, from which each was to figure out the particular sound for their part." -- Bay Bridged
http://myspace.com/michaelmusika

LOYD FAMILY PLAYERS
With influences ranging from Carlinhos Brown to Rage Against the Machine, the Loyds mix together a bevy of breaks and textures with great precision for a hot and furious dance party. Utilizing everything from sultry R&B covers to tongue-in-cheek punk rock singalongs, the Loyds will whip the dance floor into a frenzy and turn you into a dashboard drummer for days on end."Combining elements of samba, hip-hop, funk, heavy metal, dancehall & reggae, this 8 to 14 piece non-traditional bateria has quickly earned a reputation as one of Oakland California's most raucous and jubilant party bands." --SF Bay Guardian.
http://theloydfamilyplayers.com

QUINN DEVEAUX & THE BLUE BEAT REVIEW
Quinn DeVeaux and The Blue Beat Review is the dance floor between the sweet old times and new hard times. It's New Orleans soul and early blues with the depth of cracked hands combined with the contagious dance rhythm you've been looking for all night.
http://myspace.com/quinndeveaux

INDIANNA HALE
"Sad true stories sung sweet and straight forward...a prodigious musical vocabulary veiled ever so slightly by a reverent fascination for ancient astrological superstitions rendered delicately surreal through the spooky lens of modern times."
http://www.myspace.com/indiannahale

One senses from their involvement that Musika’s really trying to promote that music, both performing and consuming, is meant to be fun and communal, something to bring us together as performers and spectators. While writing the music for his new album, Musika handed each performer a script with an assigned character, from which each was to figure out the particular sound for their part." -- Bay Bridged

LOYD FAMILY PLAYERS
With influences ranging from Carlinhos Brown to Rage Against the Machine, the Loyds mix together a bevy of breaks and textures with great precision for a hot and furious dance party. Utilizing everything from sultry R&B covers to tongue-in-cheek punk rock singalongs, the Loyds will whip the dance floor into a frenzy and turn you into a dashboard drummer for days on end."Combining elements of samba, hip-hop, funk, heavy metal, dancehall & reggae, this 8 to 14 piece non-traditional bateria has quickly earned a reputation as one of Oakland California's most raucous and jubilant party bands." --SF Bay Guardian.
http://theloydfamilyplayers.com

QUINN DEVEAUX & THE BLUE BEAT REVIEW
Quinn DeVeaux and The Blue Beat Review is the dance floor between the sweet old times and new hard times. It's New Orleans soul and early blues with the depth of cracked hands combined with the contagious dance rhythm you've been looking for all night.
http://myspace.com/quinndeveaux

INDIANNA HALE
"Sad true stories sung sweet and straight forward...a prodigious musical vocabulary veiled ever so slightly by a reverent fascination for ancient astrological superstitions rendered delicately surreal through the spooky lens of modern times."

The Cat's Pajamas is a monthly cabaret featuring spoken word, music, dance, and performance art acts that are an ode to the cultural aesthetics of the past. This month join us for Discowarriors where we will be celebrating the explosive revelation of 1970's New York. Afros, Punk, Street parties, Car chases, Grafitti, Disco and those wild, wild night sin the subway. The 70's have been a much maligned decade, often dismissed as trite and tacky. In fact the 70's saw the real investment in social justice. The Vietnam war ended, school were actually integrated, abortion was legalized, civil liberties were implemented, Sesame Street was created and grit became an appropriate form of protest. David Petrelli will be Djing all night long bringing in the sounds of Oakland's underground musical revolution, and the the kick ass beats of past Hip Hop Kings. After he will be spinning it so you can dance your ass off.
In between the Warriors of the performance world will locking it and loading it down. Momo, Charlie Getter, Andy Warthol, Shovelman, Amy Cruz, Wiggy & Scot Velardo, The Double Dutch Devils and more.......
