Los Angeles: December's Embarassment of Riches

The holiday season has officially arrived and in the coming weeks there are so many great activities to choose from that I thought I’d keep you up to date and let you choose from this embarrassment of riches.

Krishna Das is coming to town, gracing Yogaworks on Larchmont with his awesome voice and Kirtan leadership from Friday Nov. 30th through Sunday Dec. 2nd. The weekend program also includes a three-hour workshop on Sunday, complete with musical accompaniment, stories about his Guru (Neem Karoli Baba), readings, teachings and intimate discussions.

Dave Stringer, with his more modern Kirtan arrangements/inspirations (sometimes even with a pop music twist), will be at the Goldenbridge on December 8th -- sure to be a fun way to spend a Saturday night.

And for those interested in meditation, don’t miss Sylvia Boorstein’s December 9th workshop at Loyola Marymount University sponsored by Insight L.A. The afternoon of mindfulness practice and teachings will be from Sylvia’s new book “Happiness is an Inside Job: Practicing for a Joyful Life.”

Finally, on Saturday December 8th you can help celebrate B.K.S. Iyengar’s 89th birthday at the Iyengar Institute with a “movie night”. The evening will feature excerpts from different historical periods in Guruji’s life, commentary and, of course the master performing asana.

Tis the season. So Enjoy.
