Boston, MA – ComedYoga: The Second Ever in History Comedy Show at a Yoga Studio is scheduled for September 25, 2010 at South Boston Yoga studio. ComedYoga was created by Maria Ciampa, stand-up comedian and yoga practitioner at South Boston yoga, with credits including ABC’s Chronicle, The New York Comedy Contest, and co-producer of the ImprovBoston Women in Comedy Festival.
“The first thing people ask is if they’ll have to do any yoga, if it’s a yoga class. Nope, unless you feel like it. However you choose to move your body during the show is just fine, unless it creeps people out. Then you should stop it.” says Ciampa. Maria will be joined by comedians Josh Gondelman (Great American Comedy Festival, winner, Laughing Skull Comedy Festival), Jess Sutich (Producer and host of storytelling show A Night of Oral (tradition), and Ken Reid (Comedy Central jokes.com, Alt Com Festival).
“My mission with this show is threefold: to host a comedy show outside of the dimly lit, sloshed comedy club scene, to bring some levity to the sometimes very uptight, serious-about-enlightenment yoga scene, and the most important part of my mission: to take over the world with a combination of comedy and yoga.” says Ciampa.
Please contact me if you would like to arrange interviews with myself or other comedians on the show. B roll, audio files and press photos are available upon request.

This year in our hometown of Boston many of the local studios have offered evenings of health and peaceful meditation. South Boston Yoga, Back Bay Yoga, Sadhana, Charles Town Yoga, Baptiste and many others all filling to capacity to bring in the new year in an empowering and positive way.
So as you practice tonight or in the days to come allow yourself to focus on your breath, and on what is happening in the body. Let the balance and the flow carry you. Who are you when the mind is quiet and you can enjoying breathing deeply and being grounded. What we find when this happens is that the past falls away in the richness of the present moment, and what we have right now is absolutely incredible.
This year I am so grateful for the inspiring yogis and yoginis, body workers and healers who have created an informative network of positive health affirming community. I am also humbled by my loving family of both friends and relatives. Thank you to each and everyone of you from us here at Elements of Yoga and best wishes for a happy holiday and amazing new year.

After your first yoga class, as the soreness in your legs sets in and a new-found freedom in your breath makes you feel a little light headed, you may ask yourself this very question; what is this fascinating field of yoga all about? Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, one of the earliest written sources on yoga, tells us that the goal of yoga is stilling the waves of the mind: ”Yogas cittavrtti nirodahah.” Stilling the chaos of the mind allows you to finally rest in the source of all that you are… “Tada drastuh svarupe ‘vasthanam.” But really was that what was going on in your 90 minute hot and sweaty or hanging vertically on a wall of ropes respite from the rest of the day…in a word YES!
The simplest way to quiet your mind is to focus on breath and balance, strength and new possibilities.This is the joy and the power of a great yoga practice. You leave class feeling refreshed, inspired and clear.
Our goal here at Elements of Yoga is to offer tools and thoughts about the how to, and why to, of yoga, anatomy and meditation. With this information you can develop a practice or teaching that best suits your own body and lifestyle. Whatever the reason you are here we hope to spark your curiosity and fuel the fire for a fantastic foundation and ever evolving journey in yoga.
Peace,
- David
