It has been said that it is easier to get people to change their religion that to change their diet. If you have been trying to improve yours, you will find this talk very helpful. Confronted with confusing or contradictory claims in the media and advertising, we may have tried different approaches. Yet, year after year, many of us remain tired, hungry, overweight and craving all the wrong foods. This class will present a great deal of new and practical ways to finally succeed in eating good food today. Most people are amazed at how much easier it can be. Class is appropriate for vegetarians or meat eaters.

Join Denise Baxter, Certified Health Coach, for this workshop. She works in Foster, and has a private practice, counseling clients on how to reach their goals for health, weight loss and stress reduction. Additionally, she presents workshops and lectures on living a healthy, balanced life.

Monday, September 20, 2010 – 7:00-8:30pm. This is a free informational seminar and will kick off our new Monday Night Special’s!

It is time for a change. We are closing from August 23-September 7, for a total make over.  The painters will be in during the first week splashing a delight of  new color on the walls and I will be in the following week to re-organize and redecorate. It will be a whole new look and feel for our precious Yoga home.

Please join me, Srinivas Reddy and friends as we celebrate our grand reopening on Friday September 3, at 7:00pm . This will be an evening with refreshments and Classical Indian music performed on Sitar (see photo on left) and Tabla (small hand drums).

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the enchanting quality of this music while exploring our renovated space and mingling with the Yoga community at One.

About Srinivas Reddy

Srinivas began his musical training as a guitarist and composer.  At an early age he performed and recorded with several jazz and rock bands throughout the New England area.  In 1998 he graduated from Brown University with a BA in South Asian Studies and completed his senior project entitled NaadaSat, a multi-instrumental ensemble piece that reflected his growing interest in South Asian philosophy and music.

Upon moving to San Francisco in 1998 Srinivas had a life-changing experience when he met his guru and mentor Sri Partha Chatterjee, a direct disciple of the late sitar maestro Pandit Nikhil Banerjee.  Since then Srinivas has dedicated himself to Indian classical music and rigorously trained with his teacher in the traditional guru-shishya style.  Under the strict guidance of his guru he continues to imbibe and practice the subtleties of the Hindustani musical tradition.

Srinivas is a professional concert sitarist and has given numerous recitals in the US and India.  He has three albums to his credit: GITA (1999), Sitar & Tabla (2001) and Hemant & Jog (2008).  Srinivas is also an experienced teacher and educator.  His continued interest in Indian literature and culture inspired him to complete an MA in South Asian Studies from UC Berkeley where he taught several courses on South Asian literature and music.

After nine years of study and performance in the San Francisco Bay Area, Srinivas has recently relocated to New England where he plans to establish a foundation for South Asian music and literature.  He is currently a visiting lecturer in the Center for Indic Studies at UMass Dartmouth.  Srinivas is also working on a translation of the Telugu epic Amuktamalyada for Penguin Books.

There is no fee for this event but donations are highly encouraged.  All proceeds will go directly to the musicians.
