NKOR News
Lovelight Yoga Festival
We met SO many amazing people at the NKOR tent throughout the three day festival. It was so humbling to hear about all of the incredible things people are doing in their respective communities to help make this world a more peaceful and loving place. We danced with MC Yogi, Matisyahu, Trevor Hall and chanted with Krisha Das & Tina Malia. On Sunday, Daniel's Sattva Yoga journey was the last class of the festival and we closed it out with a seamless mixture of powerful and heart opening kriyas calling in Shiva, Shakti, Maha Durga and ending with a nice long savasana to let the powerful events of the weekend sink deep into the Soul. Daniel was interviewed by Evolve + Ascend, be on the lookout for the interview on their website soon.
Cathy Connor's Yoga Teacher Training
Daniel traveled to Folsom, CA along with Angie Hall to spend the weekend with an amazing group of souls going through their first YTT with Cathy. Daniel taught two yoga journeys and spent some time talking about what it means to be a Sattva Yoga teacher. Angie taught two powerful & invigorating yoga journeys and shared her wealth of teaching wisdom. It was an honor to be part of another incredible weekend alongside these two amazing teachers. Kudos to all of the students that just finished their YTT!
VEToga
Daniel recently taught the monthly VEToga classes at 532 Yoga. He is an adviser on the board for VEToga and teaches yoga classes in the community to help raise awareness and funds for the amazing work they're doing to bring yoga and meditation to veterans, families of veterans and first responders. In November, VEToga will be conducting their third Yoga Teacher Training which is paid for by donations. For more information about the amazing work they are doing visit their website vetoga.org.
Upcoming Events
Ecstatic Dance :: Saturday, 9/9 - 2:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Atticus will be hosting the next Ecstatic Dance at the Edgewood Arts Center next Sunday. Ecstatic Dance DC (EDDC) is a chapter in a global community that is stoked about getting great exercise while liberating the mind + heart; connecting with self and with others in a vibrant, healthy space. We're excited about moving in organic and inventive ways that reflect how we feel, not how anyone else tells us to move.
This is a transformative, electronic dance music journey, steeped in intention. Move however you wish, play, explore. No booze, no shoes and no chit-chat on the dance floor helps us keep it real. Amazing music helps us keep it all about movement!
You can buy tickets here and check out the event on Facebook.

NEW KIND OF REBEL Foundation
Academy of Hope, a donation-based yoga program created by Caleb Packham to raise funds to send children living in the slums of Dharamshala to school. Caleb's work is helping to uplift the community there through education and self-empowerment. NKOR Foundation has already helped to send Aman and Karan to school for an entire year, and looks forward to sponsoring more children in the future! It only costs 30,000 rupees per year to send a child to school in India (that's less than $465 per year). If you are interested in contributing to the education of a child in need, please contact Caleb through his website.
We are always looking to expand our collaborations with organizations and groups working to uplift the planet and allow every heart to open to the wonder and power of love.

Help us heal this planet one awakened soul at a time!***
WE LOVE YOU!
