Description

Hi Everyone!! Please join us for our special three part event hosted at Yogalution in Long Beach! We will begin with a Yoga practice led by Yogi Matthew Purpura, followed by a beautiful Ayurvedic style dinner prepared by Meryll Montano (of Vegan Vedas), and then a LIVE concert with my group Bodhisattva. Tickets are starting at $88 and will be available until June 30, and then the price will go up so grab them while supplies last! :) This will be an amazing evening and opportunity to connect with our souls and each other - we hope you can make it!!! :) Warm Regards, Scotty About Scotty Bramer: LA based guitarist/composer Scotty Bramer's project "Bodhisattva" was born in the middle of 2020 out of a great desire to express himself, when the world was on pause. He had some time to reflect on his life journey, as well as all the music that has moved him deeply.  While primarily performing as a jazz guitarist in the old world, "Bodhisattva" bridges the gaps between a variety of musical styles he loves (jazz, rock, psychedelic, folk, classical, etc.).  In a sense, this is a reflection of his desire to bring people together at a time that felt separate and distant.   The music combines strong melodies with rich harmonies and textures over danceable grooves.  The all original “Bodhisattva” EP was arranged and performed by Scotty, except for “To Illuminate All Shadows,” which was recorded at a live performance with his trio.  Since then, he has been recording and performing this music with real people, and is grateful to be doing so. :) About Matthew Purpura: In 2011 I was introduced to Yoga by my teacher Prema Karina Arenas Bonansea. She shared with me the practices of Kirtan, Nada Yoga, Yoga Asana, and Mantra. Later that year I began playing music with Prema for Kirtans, workshops, and teacher trainings in the United States, Taiwan, and Canada. I am so fortunate and grateful to have had the association of her and her tutelage, which was a potent catalyst of inspiration to deepen my studies of Yoga. My Sincere Gratitude to you Prema. In 2019 I enrolled in a Yoga teacher training program led by Dharma Shakti and Marleen Martin which was an absolutely beautiful and transformative experience. My sincere gratitude to both my teachers Dharmaji and Marleenji, your teachings are invaluable. I have also been blessed to have taken workshop and retreat with Raghunath Das (Ray Cappo) and Kaustubha Das. About Meryll: Hey there! My name is Meryll Melissa Montano (yes, my initials spell out mmm!) and I believe that despite all the chaos in our world, we each have the birthright to live a life filled with scrumptious and delicious experiences.   I am  a proud Filipinx-American, daughter of immigrants, Ayurveda Practitioner, vegan chef, and animal rights activist.  I feel and believe that I have an unwavering duty to help raise the vibration of the planet through sharing practices that infuse more compassion and awareness into a world that is becoming more and more depleted of love & kindness.  I guide group Ayurvedic nutrition classes & workshops, nourish my Long Beach community with vegan Kamayan dinners, and work one-on-one with women looking to connect with and take healthy care of their bodies.
