It’s Virgo season which means hard work and being of service, so let’s make sure to remember to not take for granted all the labor, effort and sacrifices of all who worked and fought tirelessly for the rights and comforts we have today and to continue to fight for the equal rights and freedoms of others as they are being threatened more and more every day.

❣️
We are continuing to serve the heroic work of the ACLU through Loves Saves the Day, as they sacrifice their time to defend everyones the human rights nationwide. We are supporting the work of the Northern California chapter here in SF and they need all of us with them!

❣️
Honoring Labor Day during Virgo season, can also be a means to encourage our own practice as a Labor of Love as we recommit to our practices and put in the work towards our mental and physical wellbeing and self care and respect. In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras second chapter on Sadhana or Practice, he starts by defining the path of Kriya Yoga as a path of personal action leading to liberation: “Tapas Svadyaya Isvarapranidhana Kriya Yoga” - The yoga of Action is Self Discipline, Self Study and Surrender of the Self for the benefit of all.

❣️
As Summer comes to a close, Fall is the perfect time to get back to our grounding routines and rituals and recommit to our physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Stock up on discounted classes with a 10 Class Package for just $150 (Flash Sale ends Monday!) or become a Lotusland Member today to encourage regular practice and check out our new September Schedule with new classes for the whole family!

See you soon Lotus Loves ✌🏽

At Lotusland we love living a spiritual life and seeing how it can be a bridge to the contemporary western rituals around us rather than it being a conflict. Some see Labor Day weekend as the last hurrah of summer, or a long weekend of BBQs and last tastes of summer vacations and Burning Man! Others honor its original foundation of celebrating the economic and social contribution of workers, by enjoying the beautiful weather and foods of a vegan BBQ.

It’s Virgo season which means hard work and being of service, so let’s make sure to remember to not take for granted all the labor, effort and sacrifices of all who worked and fought tirelessly for the rights and comforts we have today and to continue to fight for the equal rights and freedoms of others as they are being threatened more and more every day.

We’re kicking off our abbreviated schedule for the long weekend with the last class on Friday, August 29th at 5:30 with Zoë back from vacation and teaching her trademark Reggaeton Yoga! 💕

Starting Tuesday, September 2nd we begin our new Fall schedule with some wonderful NEW additions - check at out the schedule and sign up today!

Register today to join us in awakening your own healing abilities through the power of sound with Chris Hill this Saturday for ✨Sound Healing 101✨

If you’ve ever had an inner call to work with energy to heal others, whether from a subtle whisper from within or an intuitive pull towards helping others, this workshop will provide you with the necessary basics to move from student to healer. In order to awaken the healer within, you will become more attuned to the subtleties of energy, emotion, and empathy, in order to lead a transformational session and step into the sacred service of sound healing.

🪷Chris is a certified Jivamukti yoga and meditation teacher as well as sound healer. Chris utilizes sound healing and meditation techniques to complement the Jivamukti yoga classes he teaches in order to provide a dynamic and integrated offering for people looking for a different style of yoga and ways to expand their consciousness.

Previously practicing as an attorney in Philadelphia, Chris was always curious for the more unique and unconventional aspects of this world and moved to northern California to live in an area embodying those characteristics. He spent almost a year traveling in India to further his self-discovery, with the intention to share any gained wisdom to better serve others.

Chris primarily works with antique singing bowls from the Himalayas imbued with healing mantras. The frequency of the bowls create vibrational sound harmonics that impact the sympathetic nervous system by engaging the relaxation reflex, (and disrupting the pain reflex) creating an overall deep sense of well being, meditation and relaxation.

Sign up today to awaken the healer within 🙏🏽

Summer of Love Community Kirtan

With Astrud Castillo and Friends

Join us at Lotusland, the cosmic playground, for an evening of peace, love and happiness reviving the spirit of the 60’s San Francisco summer of protest and celebration of peace and love through community and music!
This time through the power of Kirtan, call and response chanting of Sanskrit mantras and sacred music.

Our beloved enCHANTRESS, Astrud Castillo will be visiting from LA and sharing her exquisite voice along with her cosmic band of talented mystic musicians sharing the sacred art and practice of Kirtan.

Kirtan moves us beyond the mind and into the heart, beyond judgement and feelings of separation, it relaxes us to let go and to experience a deeper connection, union and Love. Allow the power of music and sound vibration to kindle hope and peace and ignite the fire of love and devotion in your heart as we sing in the key of WE.

It is the relationship to these mantras that illuminates our heart and awakens our consciousness. It is not important that you can sing or that you understand the words. Kirtan is an experience. It is a practice to release you out of the thinking mind and drop you gently into the heart. MAN means mind and TRA is instrument. So it is through these sacred sounds we are able to conduct the instrument of the mind. Together we create this sacred union with healing intentions for the whole of the world.

No experience necessary, everyone is welcome.

We are wrapping up bold and creative Leo season at Lotusland with a special and sacred workshop with Ayse to unleash your creative power through the practices of Yoga! We are all born with this creative spark and learn and grow as children through this natural impulse. Over time, with development of our ego it fades and with it, our confidence to create the life we want!

This quote by Dance Guru Martha Graham is the heart of our Yoga at Lotusland -

“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.” 💕

Please join us THIS Saturday 4pm for a beautiful afternoon devoted to dissolving your creative blocks and reignite your JOY!

✨Ignite Your Creative Spark with this Yoga & Creativity Workshop led by Ayse ✨

After a grounding and restorative yoga practice you’ll be guided through creative prompts (writing, drawing, or simply imagining - no experience needed) that help you listen deeply to yourself and translate intuition into embodied expression.

This workshop is perfect for artists, writers, professionals, or anyone looking to tap into their creative side, make decisions with more clarity, decide whether the action matches the authentic self, or simply reconnect with themselves in a nurturing, supportive environment.

Sign up today! 🙏🏽
