A transformative 3-part Kundalini Yoga workshop designed to reset and seed new, positive patterns within your nervous system, both individually and collectively.

The first two sessions will culminate with a restorative sound bath, using crystal singing bowls to generate healing frequencies that harmonize the vagus nerve and promote a state of deep rest and regeneration. The final class will end with a gong bath meditation to release all remaining energetic blocks and allow the entire nervous system to reset. Participants will learn practical tools to consciously regulate their internal state, shifting from patterns of fight-or-flight into resilient calm and clarity. Invest in this journey to attune your nervous system for the year ahead, fostering peace and collective elevation. Drop-ins welcome.

Yoga and Writing for Creative Recovery w/ Ash

Saturday, January 24th | 2:30-4:30 pm | $40 or $75/two people

 

As children most of us naturally tap into playfulness, spontaneity and creativity. Yet anxiety, perfectionism, and a culture that forces comparison and competition often steal this creative joy. No more! Creativity and play are an antidote for anxiety and a doorway to curiosity, community, and connection. 

 

Join Ash for this workshop featuring gentle yoga, guided writing, and playful activities designed to reawaken and nourish your inner artist. (If you don’t think you have an inner artist, please come to this workshop so you can meet them). Each participant will receive an upcycled hand-made journal and access to all the props and materials you will need to enjoy an afternoon of creative connection to yourself and others.

    Sound Bath w/ Michele

    Sunday, Feb 22nd | 7-8 pm $20 or $40/two people

     

    According to yogic philosophy, liberation comes when the mind can be directed and one’s inner light takes the lead. Paying attention to the activity of our senses is one way to direct the mind, and hearing is one of the 5 primary human senses. When we become fully aware of our hearing sense, with a heart of curiosity, we can decrease the tendency of the mind to act as master.  Further, therapeutic sound has a unique ability to call forth the parasympathetic nervous response, as the ears are a seat for this part of our nervous system.  The parasympathetic nervous response brings forth the feelings and sensations of relaxation, restoration and rejuvenation. In a world that largely activates only our sympathetic nervous responses, therapeutic sound is so incredibly needed right now. Therapeutic sound can entrain the mind’s vibration into one of steadiness and directability.

    In these monthly workshops, we will start with restorative breathwork that fses on lengthening the exhale, which is another way that yogic philosophy says will mold the mind into a more redirectable form. Then we will move into relaxation within the vibrations of therapeutic sound. The instruments of gongs, crystal sound bowls, and drums will be used to create these therapeutic sounds.

    No previous experience needed. Please wear comfortable clothing. If you are prone to headaches, please bring a head covering (beanie, hat, bandana, etc). Minimum age requirement is 11 years old.
