In the spirit of the many music and yoga events offered at Spiral, we are honored to host David Sye from the UK.

David is the founder of yogabeats.com and a self-described spiritual gangster. “Yogabeats™ has remained totally without rigid form or restrictions, experimental and spontaneous, just like jazz or any other free form art. Yogabeats™ combines classic mobile yoga postures with the latest rhythmic and ambient world music. This involves a slow warm up section, the 1st half of the practice is designed to soften up the human ego, without austerity or force, but primarily by allowing, and fun, and asking the body itself for permission to ‘let go,’ followed by a more intense second section, partner work and meditation.”

David’s unique and radical approach to yoga incorporates healing micro-moves and music helps drown out external and internal conflict. He has taught yoga in war zones, and been recognized for his efforts to transcend conflict through yoga.

Come and experience a casual and transformational evening of conversation, yoga, and music with David and a cool community.

April 18th, $20

Mingle 600pm – 645pm

David’s Story and Yoga Class 700pm – 900pm

April 21, 200pm – 500 pm, $45

The workshop theme is: 3 steps from Homo Sapien into Homo Spiritus. These next steps in our own human evolution will be taught and guided across 3 hours, which involves cognitive realisations, discussions, meditations, and more. Music will play a constant role throughout, but the goal is self elevation–an intentional result of this theme…

“The emphasis is on fun not austerity, you can do as little or as much as you like. There is no competition or rigid rules, only paying attention to your feelings and open breathing are essential to the practice.” — David Sye
