Yogaconcert | live music, poetry & yin yoga with HA!Man

A place of silence

The HA!Man (born as Francois le Roux) is a troubadour, traveling throughout the world as an independent musician, spending several months a year in both Europe and South Africa, and occasionally also in America and Asia. ‘One of South Africa's most talented performers,’ national newspaper Die Burger portrayed him, ‘he used flute, cello and piano to captivate his audience into a near trance.’ And the weekly Talk of the Town wrote he ‘redefines the modern South African musical genre’, as the reviewer was impressed by his quality and originality: ‘It is seldom that artists give so much of themselves in a performance.��

His artist name expresses his spontaneous way of music making, a creativity springing from a flow of feeling, a breath: HA! The many reviews on his website hamanworld.com testify of the transforming and healing power of his music, leaving visitors changed after the performance. ‘I am still astonished,’ someone wrote, ‘Your music opened a door to a place of silence.’

On his website, he shares how he drops all expectations before each concert, to start anew every time. A Song of Yoga with the HA!Man therefore means a dive into the unknown - an exploration starting with a Ha! and leading into silence.

What is a yoga concert?

The calm, meditative but intense postures of yin yoga allow to sink deeper into consciousness, beyond the patterns of the mind. On the yogamat, physical sensations weave together with musical improvisations. The mind becomes quieter, opening space to meet the music and poetry in the heart. In this way, the live improvised music, yoga postures, and mystical poetry intertwine, affect, and strengthen each other into a new experience.
