-----------Other Local Events---------

Raja Yoga and Satsang

Raja Yoga is the royal yoga that brings the nature of our True Self to our awareness.  This awareness cannot be gained through perception or intellectual knowledge, it can only be known through cognition, like the knowledge that I am, that I exist, it needs no proof, but without this knowing, the experience remains limited and misunderstood.  Come join us as we explore our True Self through:  
Silence, Meditation, Breathing, and gentle relaxing Postures.

Events for  
May 25th - 27th, 2018

Visit our WEBSITE for information on  CLASSES,  Following is information about things happening this weekend at Vishnu's Couch, along with other local and upcoming events:

Movie Night
Movie: Black Panther
Date:    Friday, May. 25th, 2018
Time:   8:00pm   (optional:  bring a dish or snack)
Optional:    Yoga and the Movie   ...  Yoga from 5:30 - 7:30
Black Panther YouTube Trailer

Starring:  Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, Andy Serkis
Directed by:  Ryan Coogler 
Written by:  Ryan Coogler, Joe Robert Cole
Based on:  the comic book Black Panther by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby
Produced by:  Kevin Feige
Genre:  Drama, Action, Si/Fi
Length:   134 min

There's so much to appreciate in Black Panther, from its pulsing score, which features a soundtrack overseen by award-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar, to the mesmerizing cinematography courtesy of DP Rachel Morrison, gorgeous tribal costumes, and vibrant production design. There's not as much laugh-aloud banter as viewers may have come to expect from Marvel movies, but the beats of humor that are here, usually thanks to plucky Shuri or mountain-tribe leader M'Baku (Winston Duke), are extra funny. Ultimately the film's success comes down to the thoughtful, compelling storytelling from director Coogler and writer Joe Robert Cole, as interpreted by a terrific cast of actors.
Hope to see you there!  ☺
