6 Week Balance Series for Falls Prevention w/ Diane Saccone
2024-06-24 10:00 - 11:30
Please note: This date refers to the first of 6 sessions. This course will occur over 6 consecutive Mondays from June 24th- July 29th from 10 a.m.- 11:30 p.m.

Falls are the #1 cause of unintentional death in adults 65 and above and a leading cause of death for adults living with chronic conditions such as heart disease.
This 6 week series works to improve balance, build muscle strength, flexibility and mobility to enhance overall physical health, which leads to better functioning in daily activities. Participation in the program may also result in better mental health, reduced stress, improved memory and cognition, and increased self-esteem.
This program is based on 8 forms of Tai Chi that were adapted to focus on falls prevention. There will be no time spent on the floor; all the exercises will be either sitting or standing. In each class, there will be seated warm ups and cool downs that focus on building lower and upper body strength. We will focus on how sleep, nutrition, stress, shoes and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to increased falls risk. With over 100 people through our program in the last 18 months we have seen a 91% decrease in falls risk.

The program was founded by the US Administration for Community Living, The Robert Woods Johnson Foundation and Centers for Disease and Control Prevention.

The program is taught in a safe and supported group setting which will provide participants the opportunity to feel engaged while having fun and making new friends.

Integrative Breathwork for Self-Discovery with Eddie LeShure and Margaret Kirschner
2024-07-14 10:15 - 12:15
Integrative Breathwork is a powerful adjunct to meditation and yoga, effective for working with addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety.
It is a powerful approach to self-exploration and personal empowerment that relies on our innate inner wisdom and its capacity to move us toward wholeness. You will cultivate a sense of openness, honesty, and a deep connection to inner wisdom.
You can reach expanded states of consciousness in a completely natural way using your breath and a specific music playlist. It nudges your default mode network out of your way and allows intuitive awareness to be known. It also integrates new insights into old stories, placing you on a higher vantage point to gain a broad perspective. Deeply connect to your body and hear/feel/see the messages from your intuition, creating a balanced, calm, clear state, trusting that all the answers you seek are inside.
The process is very safe and simple, combining accelerated breathing with evocative music in an eyes closed setting. You remain in complete control of your own process.
Integrative Breathwork is intended as a personal growth experience and is not a substitute for psychotherapy. It can initiate non-ordinary states of consciousness accompanied by intense emotional and physical releases. If you are pregnant, have cardiovascular concerns, severe hypertension (untreated high blood pressure), severe mental illness, epilepsy or have had recent surgery, infection, illness or fever, please do not sign up. If you have asthma, please bring your inhaler with you. Thank you.
ACY will provide eye-coverings for this workshop, but please bring your own if you would prefer.

Mantra Meditation with Jot Anant
2024-07-28 10:15 - 12:15
Mantra, मन्त्र , translates from the Sanskrit root ‘man/manas’ (the thinking mind) and ‘tra/trava’ (to liberate, to transcend).
Mantra literally means liberation of the mind.
It is said that the sacred mantric sounds fell from the Divine source, were heard by the Rishis who then formulated them into the cohesive body of mantras that are still widely used today, forming an unbroken chain of sound energy. Each mantra is precisely, sacredly, and exquisitely formed to create powerful vibrations that connect us back to our true, Divine nature.
Chanting runs through every form of yoga. It helps to regulate our breathing, quiet the mind, open the heart, connect us to universal energy, and bring about deep healing. Mantras are one of the most powerful tools we have for calming the mind and working with thought patterns as it helps us to create new neural pathways.
Other benefits of chanting mantra include:

Soothes anxiety
Releases stress
Brings deep joy and contentment
Opens the throat chakra
Uplifts our mood
Stimulates the vagus nerve
Calms the nervous system
Boosts the immune system
Stimulates secretions of the pituitary gland

Each student will receive an in-depth PDF Handout.

Spiritual Science - An Overview with Kasia Kane
2024-08-03 10:15 - 12:15
Knowledge is power “they” say, so how do we get our dense minds to wrap around the expansive nature of spirituality? What has science been able to prove to explain all these phenomena that are experienced with a practice of breath, yoga, & meditation?
Let’s break it down – the abridged version of what is happening when we do physical practice in a mindful conscious manner. We will briefly discuss each of these topics: The science of Breath,The science of Yoga, The science of Meditation, The science of Energy, The science of Spirit, The science of Heart, AND THEN Let’s add practical PRACTICE in our human vessel & EXPERIENCE all these logical things.
What is all this energy stuff anyway? What is spirit? Why should I care about my breath? What does meditation do? What does the heart have to do with spirit? Maybe you have your own ideas on how logic marries the physical experience of human nature. Let’s talk about it, What’s your perspective?
In this workshop, you will understand the fundamentals of what science has proven, in regards to the impacts that breath, yoga and meditation have on the body. We will anchor this knowledge into our body, mind and soul through various physical practices of breath-work, yoga movement & guided meditation.
My intention is after this workshop you will be able to allow yourself to truly experience the benefits of breath, yoga and meditation without the hesitation of the mind/thought/old beliefs interfering with the power created in a fully present practice.

Collective Rest is a judgment-free space to come together in our struggles to rest, practice in community, and discover what you need to feel safe enough to slow down.

Each session will offer a trauma-informed guided relaxation practice designed to systematically prepare the body-mind for deep states of rest and recovery. Through a combination of modalities such as vocal toning, breathwork, somatics, visualization, mindfulness, and yoga nidra, you’ll systematically soothe the mind chatter, discharge stress, and nourish the nervous system.

The intention is to help you journey to that dreamy space between awake and asleep where all sorts of magic can happen: cellular-level restoration, intuitive messages, creative insights, spiritual connection, and more. You’ll walk away ready to unwind for the evening and prepare for a great night’s sleep.

Collective Rest: Our Ancestral Rest Inheritance w/ Cassandra Lam
2024-12-07 10:15 - 12:15
Collective Rest is a judgment-free space where you can reflect on your relationship to rest (or lack thereof), discover what you need to feel safe enough to slow down, and practice rest in community.
The restlessness in our lives, minds, and bodies began long before we were born. In this experiential workshop, we’ll examine how our ancestral rest inheritance – what our ancestors, family, and society passed down – has influenced our beliefs about rest.
Through reflection exercises, community shares, and an introduction to the cultural erasure of rest, participants will reframe what they’ve learned about rest to heal shame and guilt. We’ll close with a guided somatic rest practice to receive much-needed messages from our lineage – the people, places, and beings we come from and belong to – for ancestral strength, guidance, and protection. By rooting into these relationships, we remember that we are never walking our path or doing our work alone.
This workshop is open to folks who struggle to rest or slow down and to anyone who wants to take better care of their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing through rest – fidgety skeptics, beginners, or experienced meditators alike!
Please bring a journal or piece of paper, pen, and any items you’d like to infuse with the energy of our rest practice.

Integrative Breathwork for Self-Discovery with Margaret Kirschner & Eddie LeShure
2024-12-07 13:00 - 15:00
ACY will provide eye-coverings for this workshop, but please bring your own if you would prefer.
Integrative Breathwork is a powerful adjunct to meditation and yoga, effective for working with addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety. The process is very safe and simple, combining accelerated breathing with evocative music in an eyes closed setting. You remain in complete control of your own process.
Integrative Breathwork Sessions • Expand your mind • Receive inner guidance • Create and strengthen new neural pathways
Evocative music and dynamic breathing open the door to insights and inner guidance • Learn to trust yourself • Know that your answers are within • Gain confidence, feel lighter • Loosen the negative grip of past trauma
Dynamic Breathing, Expanded Mind Taking fuller breaths more rapidly, accompanied by carefully selected music that guides your experience, can nudge you into a non-ordinary state of consciousness. Your brain’s typical default mode relaxes. Most of us have an overactive, self-critical “monkey mind,” which slips out of the way as we continue to breathe faster, more deeply, and continuously. Soon, inner wisdom reveals important insights which can shift a dysfunctional habitual thinking pattern, providing a new way to look at ourselves and our relationship to the events of our life.
Softens the Grip of Past Conditioning For many people, noticing, accepting, and expressing authentic feelings is a learned skill that requires practice. A common phrase is “What you resist persists.” it is natural to resist what is uncomfortable and lean, instead, towards avoiding that discomfort by suppressing emotions and stifling the ones that we perceive are not acceptable, such as anger or sadness, perhaps. Integrative breathwork recognizes the pervasive impact of personal and collective trauma and responds with tools that untangle it while also intending to avoid re-traumatization. It is an efficient way to clear conditioned resistance.
If you are pregnant, have cardiovascular concerns, severe hypertension (untreated high blood pressure), severe mental illness, epilepsy or have had recent surgery, infection, illness or fever, please do not sign up. If you have asthma, please bring your inhaler with you.

Ayurveda Foundations PLUS with Irmi Presutto
2024-12-08 10:15 - 12:45
Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that is often equated as the sister science to yoga. Its name comes from the Sanskrit words “ayur,” meaning life, and “veda,” meaning knowledge or science. Ayurveda focuses on balancing the body’s energies (doshas) to maintain health and prevent illness.

According to the Ancient Indian Science of Ayurveda, the fundamental building blocks of life are the Five Great Elements: Earth – Water – Fire – Air – Ether/Space.

From them the three Doshas derive: Vata – Pitta – Kapha.

Elements, Doshas, food and all substances have Gunas (characteristics/qualities).

This workshop will teach the basic ayurvedic principles for you to apply in your kitchen and home. Understanding the 5 great elements, the 3 doshas and 20 gunas can improve indigestion such as constipation, diarrhea, flatulence and bloating.

Sleep patterns can improve, and stress reduces, to bring life back to a sustainable balance.

I am excited to share the beautiful and brilliant teachings of Ayurveda and Yoga with you.
This is not a yoga class, but simple yoga moves might be included to relax and rest.
