YOGA:
Kalika Fortin began teaching yoga in 2006 while living and serving at Shoshoni Yoga Retreat. Shoshoni provided the spiritually rich environment to nourish a daily meditation practice and apply practical tools for living a yogic lifestyle. It is also home of the Shambhava School of Yoga where Kalika completed her 200 hour yoga certification and advanced asana certifications. Kalika loves sharing yoga practice with others and strives to meet the needs and goals of each student. Her teaching style integrates gentle breath awareness techniques with a flow of yoga postures designed to strengthen and stretch the body while maintaining a meditative focus. Students feel relaxed and refreshed as they chant together at the completion of class.
MUSIC:
In 2005, Kalika Fortin moved from the conservative mid-west into an ashram in Colorado. She was immersed in a new and beautiful world of meditation, service and devotional chanting. Captivated by the sweet, calming energy of the morning chants, as well as the lively evening kirtans, it became clear that bhakti yoga was her path. She enjoyed several years in Shoshoni Yoga Retreat's resident band, Shiva's Garden, before forming The Pushpams with Mira Gale and Kumara Etzel.
Kalika has shared music at several yoga festivals including Hanuman Festival, Denver Chant Fest and Bhavapalooza; and has shared the stage with kirtan artists Dave Stringer, C.C. White, Girish, David Newman and Govindas & Radha. Her music has been featured on New World Kirtan and Wild Women Rising.
Her debut album, Flowers for Kali, honors traditions lost and found in a gentle offering of uplifting chants and intimate songs.
