CorePower Yoga’s best at Yoga Rocks the Park!

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

Thoughts from this week’s National musical guest!

Irene Soléa is a chant artist blending traditional and non-traditional kirtan with soulfully dynamic vocals, urban and world rhythms in a band that has quickly rooted itself within the chant/kirtan world. Trained as a jazz vocalist and music therapist, she was introduced to the heart-opening potential of kirtan in 2000 and has been hooked ever since, offering concerts and workshops across the country filled with love, laughter and devotion. With her 2010 self-titled EP sold out, she is releasing her next album of all-original music in 2011: ancient mantras set to modern rhythms like pop/rock, R&B, reggae, electronica and even Latin seis and festejo, and all with the mission of inspiring and supporting others, bringing people together, and making their hearts sing and souls rock.

Playing music is Irene’s passion, and singing to the divine is her spiritual practice. She shares “I am never more alive and at peace than when I am combining these two loves, singing and playing in reverence to all that is, and doing it in community with others.”

Irene shares that kirtan and chant music can be accessible to all cultures and walks of life. She’s most passionate about taking ancient mantras -mantras that evoke peace and balance, touch the heart, and stir the soul no matter who you are, and setting them to modern melodies and rhythms from around the world. She’s had people sing together in Sanskrit, Spanish and English, while dancing to Afro-Peruvian and R&B rhythms at concerts. Irene believes that “The heart knows no language. Bringing people and communities together in this way is a beautiful feeling.” Her music is about inspiring and supporting others, bringing people together, and making their hearts sing and souls rock.
