Exploring your life through this framework is one of many paths to increased self-understanding\, self-acceptance\, and healing.  \nMeredith is devoted to cultivating attuned\, grounded\, vulnerable\, and joyful spaces to foster meaningful connection and transformation.

SUMMARY:Breathwork for Deep Insight and Emotional Release w/ Andrew Greene
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\nWhile sometimes intense\, breathwork is an incredibly safe and simple modality. All that is required is a little bit of focus and effort to get beyond your normal waking state. \nThis workshop will help you access the deep intelligence within your body that always knows exactly what you need. You may experience powerful emotions\, flashes of creativity\, or even find that your body has released long-held aches and pains.  \nThe workshop will begin with a brief grounding practice\, and end with an integration circle. A carefully curated playlist will guide you through the breathwork portion.  \nEveryone will be provided with a yoga mat\, blankets\, and an eye covering so that their experience can be as internal and private as possible. If you would prefer to bring your own eye-mask\, please do.  \nThe only necessary preparation is to abstain from eating a heavy meal at least 3 hours before the event. A *light* lunch or small snack at least an hour beforehand is okay. This is because deep breathwork will cause a lot of movement in your internal organs\, and a full stomach could turn into an upset stomach. You will be laying down the entire time. \nFor more information on Andrew\, please see his teacher profile here!  \nCost: $30 \n\nFinancial Aid Available- Please stop by the front desk or email Kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org \n \nPLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming. Registering in advance guarantees your spot and helps the studio have adequate staffing. If fewer than 5 participants register the event may be canceled. \nRefund Policy: We understand that life happens and unforeseen circumstances come up.

SUMMARY:Build your Sadhana w/ Drew JC
DESCRIPTION:Sadhana is our daily spiritual/wellbeing practice.\n\n\nThe essence of this workshop is to fortify you with an ‘every day’ home practice combining the fundamentals of kundalini yoga and meditation:  pranayama techniques (breath work)\, the bandhas ( body locks)\, spinal alignment\, mudras and mantra. Come explore the art of discipline and leave with an “every day” tool to start your day.  \n\nKundalini yoga\, unlike strictly asana practices\, focuses on harmonizing the nervous system with the endocrine system.  When activated and aligned\, these two systems give rise to our fully actualized self. A complete Kundalini practice includes a Kriya (a set of exercises with an intended result)\, breath\, meditation and mantra.  \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this workshop we will:\n\n\nCover a brief history of kundalini yoga:  its roots\, how it spread around the world\, its utility as a daily maintenance practice for body\, mind and spirit and then dive deeper into the art of the practice\nExplore the nuances of body locks/the bandhas (Maha bandha and its 3 components)\nDiscuss the importance of proper spinal alignment\nLearn fundamental tools for effective pranayama\nUnderstand the benefits of opening the throat chakra through chanting\nTake a deep dive into various Kriyas: Sat Kriya\, stretch pose\, kriya for the adrenals and kidneys as well as Nabhi Kriya\n\n\nHow the workshop will flow: \n\nAn initial information session on the above topics\nExecute a complete practice together including kriya and a meditation with interspersed reminders of proper practice\nAmple time for Questions and Answers\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is for everyone!  As a novice\, it will dramatically shorten your learning curve through highlighting some of the fundamentals of the practice of kundalini yoga. As a seasoned practitioner\, it will strengthen your practice through thoughtful cues and deeper examinations of the how and why of each kriya we practice. \n\n\n\n\nDrew JC will offer depth from his 9 years teaching experience and 15 years of practice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou will leave this workshop with a home practice.\n\n\n  \nFor more information on Drew JC\, please see his teacher profile here!  \nCost: $30Financial Aid Available- Please stop by the front desk\, call\, or email kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org. \n \n \nPLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming.
