Welcome to PranaShanti Yoga Centre

An effective way to accomplish revitalization of the body and mind is with a Cleanse. Our program provides the body with optimal nourishment, while supporting the body's own efforts to detoxify through the bowels, the kidneys and the liver. The result is a clean break from the foods and substances. This allows the body to find its own state of balance which generally includes a steady and even feeling.

Our program is based on the Ayurvedic traditions. Our program cleanses the intestinal tract, the urinary tract, the liver, the gallbladder, the blood and the lymphatic system. While doing the program, you will be eating a wholesome diet focused on alkaline forming foods, drinking lots of pure water and doing Yoga and Meditation. Our program is gentle and effective.

A few words from David:

Based in Mount Hope, Ontario, I perform with Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls, 15-20 of them. Each produces a pure note or tone, the purest there is. You have to hear them to believe it. I play them in combination with a Vibraphone, Santoor and 8-18 Paiste Planet, Symphonic and Sound Creation Gongs. Every gong features a strong fundamental note tuned to represent a natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Sun, the Earth, the Moon and the other planets. It's like having a full orchestra.

I have been touring Canada coast to coast for the past seven years and have performed over 700 shows, having released 7 CDs to date. I have played the Bowls and Gongs accompanied by various musicians as well as with the Winnipeg Chamber Orchestra in June of 2006.

Crystal Journey has dedicated its intention for the music to help raise awareness to our environment and such social causes as Tibet and Burma, raising funds for these and various other charities. Crystal Journey also works with cancer support groups such as Well Spring Calgary. As 2010 unfolds, I am looking forward to taking my music to ever increasing numbers creating conscious awareness across Canada and the Globe with a message of peace. By year's end, Crystal Journey will have performed over 150 concerts.

The intent of the performance is to create soothing, meditative and healing music. Each one of my performances is completely improvised, and unique. The music attracts a full range of listeners. My concerts are in two sets, each lasting an hour in length.

My musical inspirations are, Jerry Garcia, The Grateful Dead, John Lennon, George Harrison, Bob Marley, Miles Davis, and Frederick Chopin to name a few.

Cost: $30.00 per person.

Note: The day of the Full Moon is particularly good for fasting on lemon water with a natural sweetener because the secretions in your body will be at their maximum (thanks to the magnetism of the moon). You may not want your energy being used to digest food ... save your energy to reconstruct yourself. Try to drink only liquids on this day. Or, you could eat very lightly and drink the lemon & water.

While Dev Suroop visits us as part of our Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training weekend, she has graciously extended her visit to include this public event. Please join us for a joy filled evening event of chanting with this very talented musician and vocalist.

Throughout time, the yogis have referenced the 'simple law' of Jap Tap Sanjam. Through the practice of 'jap' -- the repetition of mantra, we create 'tap' -- psychic heat. This heat clears out limitations, stuck energy, and other things that hold us back and interfere with our ability to live a peaceful, graceful life.

The result of repetition of mantra in meditation and in many simple and practical ways leads to 'sanjam'. In sanjam -- the state of self-discipline and self-command -- you become in charge of the whole range of your being allowing greater peace and ease within and without.

Let's come together and experience this very simple and practical approach to creating peace of heart and peace of mind.

Cost: $25.00 per person. No yoga or chanting experience needed - just a willingness to create joy and peace!

Kirtan – a practice of Bhakti Yoga (the Yoga of Devotion) - is a call and response form of singing which is expanding throughout North America as westerners discover its uplifting, healing and joyous effects.

Kirtan is easy to learn and participate in. The lead singer sings simple and beautiful melodies and the crowd responds either by memory or by using lyric sheets provided. Brenda explains, “Singing together– chanting the Divine names – encourages our hearts to open and the beauty of our true beings to shine!”

Join us for this uplifting evening, tea and treats served after the concert!

Cost: $20 per person in advance; $25 per person day of the event.
