DJ: Izzy Wise
Hailing from San Francisco, Izzy Wise is a multi-instrumentalist and DJ whoproduces eclectic dance music that bounces from West Africa to the WestIndies, and all points in between.For more than a decade Wise cut his teeth in San Francisco, DJing at partieslike the legendary Afrolicious night and landmark venues like TheIndependent, Monarch and 1015 Folsom. His pursuit for unique rhythms &melodies has led him to the jungles of Nicaragua and fabled islands lost inthe Caribbean Sea. When he’s not making field recordings and playing in livegroups, Wise releases music on imprints likeDélicieuseRecords, Lips &Rhythm and Mule Musiq. His dedication in the studio is unwavering and hisoriginal output often reflects a well-blended taste of disco, boogie funk andhouse. Wise also plays live with a variety of instruments that he works intohis energetic performances. His sets are best described as funkyunderground ethnomusicology courses with hypnotic grooves.
Contact Improv: Sita Devi
Through the practice of yoga & contact everything seemed to unify and come together in complete harmony, the entire universe resonating as one collective consciousness.�Sita feels the divine channel so deeply and intensely through Bhakti Yoga, she has chosen to make it her life’s purpose. She intends to share this heart opening practice with everyone, making it easily accessible. It is her dream and goal to make Bhakti, devotional service, something that anyone can do, without limitation, expectation, discrimination or judgement.

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.
