For everyone.

Revitalize your body and spirit in a dynamic, fun-filled weekend of Kripalu Yoga and African-influenced hand drumming led by Shaun Laframboise and Allison Gemmel Laframboise, members of KDZ: The Drummers at Kripalu. Come expand awareness, access energy, cultivate transformation, and have a really good time.

Your day begins with a rhythm-filled yoga practice to reconnect with the inner pulse of your body, breath, and energy. Then make the shift to creative expression by exploring

African-influenced rhythms (djembe and Ashiko style drumming)
Proper body mechanics and drumming technique
Drum circle experience
Basic and intermediate solo technique
Take-home practice rhythms
Intentions and the power to manifest the life you want.

You also have the option to move your body to live drumming by KDZ during a noon dance session. Come unearth your inner beat. No drumming or yoga experience is necessary.

Note If you have a drum, bring it. If not, be sure to let us know when you register that you need a drum, so that we can reserve one for you. Bring an audio recorder if you’d like.
