Kaya Wellness announces summer events

Kaya Wellness & Yoga Rehoboth Beach will offer a special Sunday evening Yoga Nidra from 5 to 6 p.m., Sunday, June 30. The word "Nidra" refers to sleep. In yogic terms this is a period of deep conscious rest. Meditation will be guided by Heather Shafer, Whole Self Health Yoga instructor, and VaihAyasa, Aerial Yoga developer. It is followed by an optional yogic/vedic texts discussion group at 6:15 p.m. This is a donation class.

The last Sunday of each month offers a special donation evening class at Kaya, featuring Yoga Nidra, Musically Accompanied Yoga or Aerial Yoga.

A free First Friday Musical Kirtan on the Beach is set for 6 to 8 p.m., Friday, July 5. Kirtan will be led by Arjuna Gillelli. Kirtan is mantra meditation as song. This mantra meditation calms the mind of fear and anxiety, and opens the heart to reveal one's spiritual nature of eternity and bliss. A community social follows.

First Friday free events are hosted monthly by Kaya Wellness & Yoga. Free Yogic philosophy discussions occur 30 minutes before the First Friday events. This month’s topic is Ayurvedic Practices for Summer. Meet on the beach, north of the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, where the ocean meets Surf Avenue. Participants should bring beach chairs or blankets and any instruments or noisemakers they would like.
