What is Yoga In The Nightclub?

The entertainment industry provides an opportunity to make a positive impact within community and our natural environment. When used consciously the entertainment industry is a powerful tool to catalyze cultural change.

The art of Yoga reaches far beyond the impression most westerns have as being a series of bendy, physical exercises that turn your body into a pretzel. Yoga is a systematic body of knowledge and a practice that is about integrated living, rooted in the fullness of being, one’s highest good, one’s deepest joy.

How does Yoga In The Nightclub support the environment?

The first step to a yogic state of being is breath awareness. How can we promote healthy breathing if the planet that supports us is gasping for air? This is why a percentage of all proceeds from Yoga In The Nightclub goes towards reforestation and community tree planting.

How does Yoga In The Nightclub promote well-being?

People who come to Parvati’s shows know that once they step into the club they are transported into a land of magic where anything and everything is possible. Everything is possible because we are all interconnected beings of love and light. The shows celebrate the gift of life and the positive possibilities.

When one person makes a positive change it effects many, that is why Parvati invites charities to her shows. At the recent Toronto show at the MOD Club the Amma Foundation of Canada, Stephen Lewis Foundation, Ontario Nature and One Match set up information booths.

How does Yoga In The Nightclub stimulate culture and support a healthy lifestyle?

When the ancient art of Yoga meets the current expression of popular culture people are reminded that the true power centre is within and that lifestyle choices can be fun, inspired, vital and positive.

The synthesis of these two industries is Yoga In The Nightclub.

The premise:

Yoga In The Nightclub brings together the 128,213 twitter followers of Deepak Chopra with Madonna fans, the conscious generation who like to have fun and make positive change.

Imagine a large publicly music venue (either a legion hall or The Harbourfront Centre) that is both a dance club and a concert hall transformed into a very chic zen den. If you have been to New York, Paris, London, Dubai this is nothing new. So what makes this so special?

Imagine:

A show that is an event. A show that engages audiences. A show that supports the gift of life. A show that inspires positive change. This show is called Yoga In The Nightclub and is being compared to Madonna and Cirque Du Soleil. This is why Cirque Du Soleil’s former artistic director believes Yoga In The Nightclub will become one of Canada’s most important shows.

Part 1: Interconnection

Upon entering the club you are welcomed by a friendly greeter with a cup of hot herbal tea or a glass of water with fresh lemon slices. The club is lined with green plants and filled with exotic and inspiring aromatherapy scents.

On the outside of the dance-floor are tables, chairs and booth filled with Not For Profit organizations who are there to bring awareness and support for their wonderful causes.

The DJ is playing cool music that makes you feel relaxed and invigorated. The volume is loud enough to hear but not too loud that people can’t talk.

The DJ lights are gently sweeping over the dance floor, which has been transformed into a field of massage tables.

PART 2: Innerconnection

At a certain point, the DJ announces that the massage tables are open so please come and have a complementary massage.

PART 3: Yoga In The Nightclub

A mindfulness bell rings. The massage tables are removed from the dance floor and in its place yoga mats are placed down.

Then an introduction to yoga class for those who wish to participate starts. The class is basic for beginners and focusses on quieting the mind amongst the busyness of life.

PART 4: That which one focuses on grows:

A 5 minute group meditation and visualization for world peace.

PART 5: Yoga In The Nightclub Show:

The climax of the evening is a live multi media show that includes music with video art installation and live dance (hip-hop, modern and breaking) and acrobats. The show starts with a character called Natamba who arrives, from another dimension, to Earth through ethereal sparks of light. Natamba is dressed in liquid gold from head to toe and carries a message of hope and positive possibilities. Audiences are left with a feeling of joy and connection. Her show is compared to Madonna and Cirque Du Soleil.

A DJ will come on after the show so people can stay and dance.

During all of this the organic juice bar is serving fresh squeezed juices, smoothies and other healthy treats.
