Camp Yoga Rocks is a fun, interactive yoga camp designed for children ages 5 – 10 years old.
In a recent interview with Brandon Cox of CorePower Yoga, he shared his thoughts on the practice, and the inspiration behind his teaching.
How does your yoga bring more peace and harmony into our community?
The funny thing is that it may not bring peace and harmony immediately, because the practice can often bring out the discomfort of being with yourself and reality of circumstances in our lives that don’t serve us. Sitting with these emotions and then moving through the fire is what brings the inner peace and truth to onesself. Once one finds truthfulness (satya) then one finds harmony within community. In the word of Shakespeare “To thine own self be true”.
Why do you teach yoga?
Simply, to help people to find the power within themselves.
What intention lies behind your teachings?
The intention is FUN! There is too much outside the yoga room to be serious about.
What theme or feeling will your Yoga Rocks the Park class have?
Yoga outside + Colorado sun = FUN

Interpreting yoga classes and events with an array of exotic instruments including sitar, flutes, and various exotic percussion and striking vocals orchestrated in the moment…
Never distracting, a sonic tapestry is created with the help of modern technology to support the movement of yoga, from quiet sitar to rockin’ percussion – composing for the class to fit each moment and each instructor’s style, resulting in a bonus of inspiration and joy for all!

Ian Hyman (DJ Hyfi) is a Philly based DJ who has taken his art into the yoga studio to create a deep fusion of sound and
movement. He spends most of his time on the road spinning for workshops, festivals and conferences around the nation, striving to create a fresh experience for people who love yoga. Finding inspiration from life on the road and the interesting collection of characters along the way, he shares his perspective on yoga through his turntables. Ian’s DJ mixes are infused with a wide range of soulful electronic music, from deep ambient tunes to ecstatic rhythms of Jungle/DnB.
“Ian’s got his finger on the pulse of what will move the energy of the group in an authentic way to an ecstatic experience!” -Wah!

Thank you Rob Clement of RC Visual for capturing the essence of the July 10 Yoga Rocks the Park with Patrick Harrington, Tina Porter, and Lil Sum’n Sum’n!
This morning, Derik shared his vision for this weekend’s Yoga Rocks the Park! His description of the event gave me goosebumps! Here’s what to expect on Sunday morning at Alamo Placita Park from Derik Eselius and Santosh Powell of Axis Yoga!
“Musically we will be featuring songs based on the Kirtan or Bhakti tradition. Bhakti is the yoga of devotion or reverence to the beloved. We will start our session with an invocation to sanctify the space and build a collective intention. Our all-levels asana sequence will feature a rarely taught sun salutation series accompanied by mantra from there we will move onto a dynamic asana sequence featuring some advanced postures with appropriate modifications for all. A spirited event for all!”
Feeling so blessed to have these two powerful instructors on the schedule this year. You won’t want to miss it!
