SUMMARY:Breathwork for Transcendence 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 allow you to go beyond your mind\, enabling you to access a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you. You may experience powerful emotions\, receive unexpected guidance\, 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! Andrew teaches weekly donation-based Warm Vinyasa Flow Mondays 4:15pm-5:15pm and Gentle Flow Thursdays 9:30am-10:30am. \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:Happy Hips & Hamstrings w/  Jot Anant
DESCRIPTION:We’ll begin with an in-depth anatomical lecture to help you better understand the structure and function of your hips and hamstrings. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach\, this workshop invites you to appreciate your own unique skeletal shape\, joint orientation\, and muscular patterns. With this foundational knowledge\, you’ll be empowered to adapt your practice in ways that truly serve your body. \nTightness in the hips and hamstrings often develops from everyday habits—running\, sitting\, walking\, stress\, or repetitive movement patterns. Over time\, unconscious compensation and postural habits can create restriction\, discomfort\, or pain. By deepening your understanding of anatomy and common yoga alignment cues\, you’ll begin to unravel tension and create sustainable\, functional mobility. \nA special highlight of this workshop is our partnered mobility exploration. You’ll team up to explore hip joint and hamstring mobility together\, using guided techniques to better understand your own anatomical structure. Through observation\, feedback\, and supported movement\, you’ll gain insight into how your bones move within the joint\, where your natural boundaries lie\, and how to work with—not against—your body. \nFollowing the lecture and partner work\, we’ll move into an integrated practice that weaves together Yang and Yin styles: \n\nYang flow to build heat\, strength\, and length\, particularly along the back line of the body and around the full circumference of the hips.\nYin postures to gently target the joints and connective tissues\, inviting deep release and restoration.\n\nProps will be thoughtfully incorporated to ensure that every participant feels both supported and appropriately challenged. \nThroughout the workshop\, you’ll learn how to strengthen and stabilize these regions while cultivating greater mobility and ease. As we work toward a variety of peak postures\, you’ll experience how balancing effort and surrender creates spaciousness\, resilience\, and freedom in the body. \nEach participant will receive a detailed PDF handout filled with key insights and practical tools to continue exploring long after the workshop ends. \nAre you ready to stretch\, strengthen\, and discover new possibilities within your body? We can’t wait to move\, learn\, and explore together. \nPlease note: this workshop is 3 hours long. \nCost: $45Financial Aid Available \n \nFor more information on Jot Anant\, please visit her website at www.JotAnant.org\, or see her teacher profile here. Jot Anant teaches weekly donation-based Vinyasa Flow Thursdays 9-10:30am\, Warm Yin Fridays 6-7:15pm and Gentle Flow Saturdays 9-10am. \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.
