March
A synchronistic story, a class description, and a morsel of African Dance
Before I get to the class description for March, I wanted to share about a synchronistic
experience I had in last month’s class. While we were playing, I had an idea that it would be
great to have some sort of Community Yoga class before my drum class. Without ever
vocalizing this thought, one of Shine On Yoga’s teachers in my class told me they
now have a Community Yoga class from 6 to 7pm on the first Friday’s before my class.
I’d like to thank Amber and Shine On Yoga for reading my mind before I even have
the thoughts.
Looking forward to what comes next. . . .

******************************
****This Month’s Class Description*****
In March, we will begin class with basic stretching to strengthen our core and to prepare
our bodies for the journey ahead. Utilizing our power into practice can be hard or simple.
For this class will demonstrate how simple it can be (and how difficult the brain tries to make it).
Calling on a powerful and fairly simple rhythm set from Guinea, we will have a warm up that
strengthens our ability to play the 6 basic African Djembe sounds. We will also explore
sharing our power with the other musicians in the room through some back to back exercises
on our drums. It will all culminate in an expansive poly-rhythmic experience and conclude with i
ndividualized drumming shavasanas and a Qi exercise directed at removing the obstacles
to your own power.
Class Level: Beginner to Intermediate.
*Advanced players enjoy the class for its integration of modalities and methods.
Expected Results: An increase in free attention and creative power, a hands on experience
of shifting ourselves and others, a feeling of accomplishment on the hand drums, a desire to
do it again, and a deep night’s sleep. You may also feel hungry immediately following class.
This is normal.
Looking ahead to April:
Drums of Love!
The Fourth Chakra!
First Friday of Every Month 7:30 to 9m

********** African Dance Morsel *************
And one last note: If you participated in the African Dance class, you will be receiving
a short email in the next week or two asking for your feedback. I’m trying to book the
next Dance Class for the 15th , a Sunday (not the 14th as I had originally suggested).
Thank you
Mark
