SUMMARY:Lion's Gate Full Moon Blacklight Yoga w/ Kasia Kane
DESCRIPTION:Let the energy of the Full Moon meet the energy of the Lion’s Gate portal for this intentional Blacklight Yoga class! Find a sense of grounding\, connection and release as we move through yoga\, breathwork and dance to better align with the self.  \nLion’s Gate (August 8th) is when the Sun in Leo aligns with Sirius\, the brightest star in the sky. This alignment is believed to open a “portal” of energy\, making it a time for spiritual growth\, transformation\, and manifestation. The full moon has similar beliefs in astrology\, where it is said to represent culmination\, completion\, and release.  This Blacklight Yoga class will be a space to release what no longer serves you and focus on what is filling your cup. \nThrough this lens\, we can find deeper connection inside\, and allow that to transfer to our interactions with others. Allow this space to be an intentional container to reflect to one another and finally accept\, understand\, release attachments we have held onto.  \nBlacklight yoga is intended to be a playful and joyful space\, fueled by the glowing lights\, your energy\, and your bright\, colorful clothing!  \n\n\nCost: $20Financial Aid Available \n \nPLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming. Registering in advance guarantees your spot and helps the studio have adequate staffing.

SUMMARY:SOMA Breath Alkhemy Journey w/ Kyle Espenshade
DESCRIPTION:Note: All breathwork techniques should ideally be done on an empty stomach\, or at least 1-2 hrs after eating a full meal. All levels are welcome. Please see contraindications at the bottom of the description.  \nThe SOMA Breath is designed to give you energy\, clarity\, and improve fitness and endurance in a fun and exciting way. This Alkhemical Breathwork journey will dive into the 4 classical elements of Earth\, Water\, Air\, and Fire\, plus the 5th element of Aether or Akasha as a way to harmonize the various layers of the self and ascend the vibrational scale of Being. \nThis 2 hour workshop combines breathwork\, visualization\, and our signature SOMA Breath music that helps you synchronize your breathing to a perfect rhythm. It will start with some background/contextual explanations\, and a demonstration of the SOMA Breath technique. We will then practice a chanting meditation to help ground and prepare for a guided visualization. The breathwork itself will consist of 5 rounds of the SOMA Breath\, which combines rhythmic breathing and breath retentions to safely induce a state of intermittent hypoxia and trigger an endogenous psychedelic experience. \nThe key to manifesting is reaching peak emotional states and implanting intentions in this heightened state. \nUse this time to create powerful visualizations of the future you want to create. Your energy will become charged and your personal magnetism will expand.   \nBoosts & Improves: Oxygen efficiency\, respiratory & cardiovascular health\, immune system\, bodily coherence\, blood sugar levels\, vitality\, stamina\, endurance\, tissue/muscle/cell repair & production\, flow of cerebrospinal fluid\, directed neurogenesis\, concentration\, cognitive function\, memory\, emotional & hormonal balance\, confidence\, growth & circulation of stem-cells for the ultimate healing & regeneration \nReleases & Relieves: Asthma\, arthritis\, aches & pains\, sleep disorders\, high blood pressure\, nasal blockages\, addictive behaviors\, past traumas\, anxiety\, depression\, resentment\, anger & other negative thoughts & emotions \nCONTRAINDICATIONS \nSlow rhythmic breathing techniques of SOMA Breath are safe to be used for anyone\, and can be beneficial for all individuals. Forceful mouth breathing\, prolonged breath holds and extended intense fast breathwork/hyperventilation for more than 5 minutes\, should NOT be practiced in the case of any of the following: \n\nSevere/critical diseases or infections (Esp. if it impairs your ability to breathe)\nHeart issues such has uncontrolled hypertension (usually after a heart attack)\, a pacemaker\, or irregular heart beat (Exception: your doctor gives you specific permission).\nOrgan failure or late-stage terminal illness\nPregnancy\nEpilepsy\n\nSome conditions (Eg: Tinnitus\, hernias) may be aggravated by prolonged breath holds and hyperventilation and careful attention to technique is required. \nFor more info on Kyle and SOMA Alkhemy: please visit his website here.  \nCost: $30Financial Aid Available- Please stop by the front desk or email Kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org  \n \nPLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming.

SUMMARY:Community Kirtan w/ Mantra Mandala
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 6:30\, show is 7-9pm. Please arrive early for ample time to park and settle in.\nWhat is kirtan? \nDerived from a Sanskrit root meaning to call\, recite\, praise\, or glorify\, put simply\, kirtan is the act of praising and glorifying some form of divinity. While such glorification can be expressed in a variety of ways\, including through poetry\, drama\, dance\, or any form of oral recitation\, kirtan\, in its most well-known form\, is the call and response singing of a Sanskrit mantra. Tap into the spiritual energy of bhakti yoga\, the yoga of love and devotion\, as you sing your way to joy and peace. \nMantra Mandala: \nMantra Mandala is a kirtan band based in Asheville\, NC. They weave melody\, rhythm\, and harmony to create an immersive sound that invites listeners into a journey of meditative bliss and devotion. \nMantra Mandala features Jeremy Staum (vocals\, harmonium)\, Nina Kawar (vocals\, percussion)\, Timothy Burgin (percussion) and Daniel Guyer (cello). \nThe band’s name\, Mantra Mandala\, represents the intention behind their music. Mantra and mandala are both meditation tools. Mantra is the repetition of sacred sounds. Mandala is a geometric design that represents the wholeness of the Self. The band’s music is like a mandala formed of mantras\, transporting listeners into the state of connectedness that is yoga. \nDoors open at 6:30\, show is 7-9pm.
