More Cups of Soup

Concurrently, Yoga Soup’s Empowered Presence with Kiaora Fox moves from Wednesdays to Thursday evenings, when Fox’s 5Rhythms practice offers direction to explore your edges, grow your movement vocabulary, break up your habits and create new found freedoms and fuller breath. Also new at Yoga Soup, an ongoing Sunday Night CommUNITY Class, a donation-based, open-to-all exploration of the mind, body and spirit, led by Alisa Deen 7:15-8 pm every Sunday, and weekly Silent Tea Ceremonies from 8-9 am on Fridays and 7:30-8:30 am Mondays (starting February 24), when Lizzie Smith hosts time to sit in reverent silence and connect to nature, ourselves and one another through Tea Medicine.

Meanwhile, Yoga Soup is also set to celebrate its 14th anniversary with international kirtan superstar Dave Stringer & Friends plus a party on Saturday, February 15. The festive evening gathering begins in the studio’s “living room” space with sharing nourishing refreshments and special beverages before moving into the adjacent big studio to lift voices and hearts – and move the body – to the sounds and spiritual seduction of call-and-response singing by Stringer, a Grammy-nominated producer, singer-songwriter and innovative modern Kirtan artist. Soup and simple delights follow. Admission is $20 in advance, $25 day of. Also on tap this week at the studio: another Floating Sound Bath with Shane Thunder at 7:30 pm on Sunday, February 16 ($25/$30) and the launching of InCourage Chorus 13-week spring season, slated for Monday evenings 7-8:30 pm, beginning February 17. Yoga Soup is located at 28 Parker Way off lower State St. Call (805) 965-8811 or visit www.yogasoup.com/category/events
