Yoga
Garth Stevenson introduced his solo music to the yoga community at Wanderlust, a festival of music and yoga at Lake Tahoe, California. His improvisations contoured the hour long classes led by instructors Elena Brower and Christy Nones with an appearance by the founder of Anusara Yoga, John Friend.
Back in New York, he works regularly with Elena Brower at her studio in Soho, Virayoga. The classes flow seamlessly between Browers inspirational teaching and Stevenson’s drone based music with specific musical ideas that correspond to poses. Each class ends with a 10 minute solo improvisation during savasana. Elena and Garth have collaborated outside of virayoga as well, giving classes at MoMA and this June in Central Park. Stevenson has also collaborated with Schuyler Grant, Samantha Shakti Brown, Kelly Blaser, Kate Greer, Richmond Dickson, Sianna Sherman, Stacey Rosenberg, and Stephanie Sandleben.
