Disco Yoga

I will guide us through an energising, FUN, aligning practice to re-boot our souls. Starting off with a meditation, allowing us to bring our awareness towards the mats, permitting ourselves to let go of any thoughts or emotions that could hold us back from letting go, both physically and mentally within the practice. Next we will start to activate our muscles in a warm up, as the euphoric disco beat starts to kick in. Moving towards our flow sequence with a series of standing and seated asanas, combining classic, dazzling disco moves.

Crack Cloud

The first iteration of Crack Cloud was formed nearly a decade ago as a proxy-rehab outlet on the fringes of Calgary, where two EPs and their accompanying visual pieces were created during this time. By 2017, several members had relocated to Vancouver. It was after the move that the band produced their astounding 2020 album Pain Olympics, and their 2022 follow up, Tough Baby. All at once, their vision became expansive, cinematic, and precarious.
