DJ: Rhythmystic
For over two decades, Rhythmystic has been igniting dance floors in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, New England, Burning Man and beyond. At festivals, Ecstatic Dances and conscious community dances, loft parties & clubs, his genre-bending mixing skills, remixes & original tracks have have generated a buzz and a dedicated following. From a still-point whisper to slinkified downtempo to full-throttled, low-frequency breaks; from bump-steppin', bass wobbling, mid-tempo funktronica to peak-time, tribal melt-downs and back, Rhythmystic's DJ sets are invitations to co-create community in the heart of the Beatstream.

Yoga: Rachel Heron
My journey as a yogini began in 1992, with David Life and Sharon Gannon, the creators of the Jivamukti style of Hatha yoga. I received my 200 hr yoga teacher certification from the Sivananda Ashram in 1994, and began teaching right away. Over the past 28 years I’ve studied the styles of Kripalu, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Forrest, and Anusara. I have been blessed with many esteemed teachers in these varying traditions. My classes are vigorous, deep, and anchored in therapeutic alignment principles. I believe that when we can stay present in a pose–truly present to the fluctuations of energy, sensation, breath, emotion, thinking-we can extend that experience to the practice of LIVING. Yoga invites me to engage compassion and empathy, to sense what’s here and now, and to live wakefully. It’s my honor and service to share the practice and these benefits with my students.
