Maintaining a Sense of Well-Being in Times of Radical Change with Carol Fitzpatrick:
We are beings of light who have come to liberate ourselves from the shackles of the mind. But we cannot do so if we have forgotten the very truth of who we are. We are not the body, and we are not the mind that tells us that we are to be afraid of change. Learn tools and strategies for rising above the strife and turmoil in turbulent times. Learn how to be the change you so desire for the world.

Breath of the Soul with Adam Gainsburg:Times of great change often send us searching for something real, something stable to hold onto. They also will often bring us to question hidden assumptions about our life. Join Adam and experience the Breath of the Soul, an elegantly simple, unique meditation experience to root you deeply in your Center, the place in you that does not change, that is timeless, that is eternal.

Soul Journey with the Native American Flute with Jan Seiden:
If you could hear the song of your soul calling to you from Creation, how would you answer? How would you manifest this song in your conscious life? Jan Seiden and her Native American flutes lead us on a journey of discovery with sound and imagery to the sanctuary of the soul. The timeless voice of these flutes speaks to our deep ancestral memories and awakens us. Combined with breath work, the music channeled through Jan’s flutes guides us in gaining new soul-level awareness of our direct connection to Creation. From this place we may manifest our soul journey in increasingly profound and responsible ways.

The Best of Baltimore is here again and it is every business owners hope to have this honor (and publicity). I feel especially passionate about this year’s poll because of my involvement with Baltimore Yoga Village. A lot of people still don’t know about this Baltimore jewel. There is so much more to experience at BYV than you’ll find at other studios. Outside of classes, there are musical events, dance workshops, children’s programs, Satsang (coming soon), art shows, and the best hatha yoga classes I’ve ever taken.

Here are the rules from the Best of Baltimore website:

It’s time to speak your mind without saying a word as you scribble or type your picks for all that is best in Baltimore.

* You must fill out your name and address along with a phone number and/or e-mail address where you can be reached.
* You have to vote in at least 25 categories.
* You can’t use the same answer in more than three categories.
* Vague answers like “that place on that street” will be ignored.
* And absolutely, for reals, no ballot stuffing.

Not sure what constitutes ballot stuffing in the super-scientific world of the CP Readers Poll? You are welcome to encourage people to vote for your business or artistic endeavor. You can link to the poll on your web site or hand them out at your business. But you can’t fill out polls in other people’s names. Got it? Great.

All ballots must be submitted by August. 31. The person with the best Best Reason We Should Invite You to the Best of Baltimore Party response will receive two invitations to the Sept. 20 Best of Baltimore Party.

Friday, July 27 at 7:00 pm, Jan Seiden will be performing at Baltimore Yoga Village. Come with friends, family, or on your own to relax and enjoy the soothing and meditative sounds of the Native American flute.

Jan reflects on her work by writing: “The flute transcended age, cultural and religious boundaries. People were connecting with their own hearts and their deepest dreams. People were coming home to themselves.” The Baltimore Yoga Village is the perfect place to gather with your community and unwind this Friday. Hope to see you there!

I’ve been practicing yoga at Baltimore Yoga Village for a few months and the studio is my home away from home. Yoga (on many levels) occupies every inch of the old converted mill, which is off of Chestnut Street, in Hampden. The ceilings are high, the studio is painted a warm yellow, and the hardwood floors are a blank canvas to fill with your hatha practice.

There are classes for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students of all ages. Yoga classes that are offered regularly include: Sivananda, Vinyasa, Ahimsa, Phoenix Rising, Tantra, Kundalini, Prenatal, and Itsy-Bitsy yoga. All of the classes have something different to offer and I recommend trying as many as possible. Not only does Baltimore Yoga Village have outstanding teachers, there are always new and exciting events happening.

One of the specials events in August includes:
Drum Talk with Moziah
Saturday, August 18th
Class Time: 1-3 pm

Moziah Saleem
A drumming workshop for all ages ~ children and adults learn the therapeutic quality of the drum. Moziah Saleem, African Percussionist, performs regularly in a reggae band, and brings his non-profit program, Drum Talk, to schools in the area. We are thrilled to offer this invigorating and educational workshop to Baltimore Yoga Village. Only $10 for adults/ $15 for adult with child.

Baltimore Yoga Village also offers bodywork, private yoga sessions, and many other services. I’ll be writing about different special events happening at Baltimore Yoga Village as they come closer, but you can always check for yourself!
