The Yoga of Sound w/ Mackenzie Alistar
2026-06-21 10:15 - 12:15
Please create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, or financial aid, please email Kelsey at kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org

This workshop will explore various dimensions of Nada Yoga, the Yoga of sound.

As Irena Sterna puts it, “Nada Yoga, translated as “Unity through Sound,” is not just a practice but a journey into inner harmony, where sound serves as a bridge to spiritual consciousness.”

This soundbath and meditation will welcome the Summer Solstice in community, embracing the longest day of the year together.

We will begin with 10-15 minutes of gentle movement to help us arrive in our bodies. From here we will enter into a vibratory journey (sound bath) into the realms of tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, handpan, flutes, didgeridoo, harmonium, guitar, drum, chimes, bells, rattles, voice, and other sound healing instruments. This will flow into a more participatory soundsploration in which we will unite our voices in toning and mantra. We will have slow time at the end to process.

This is a great opportunity to rest, relax, come back to yourself, and meditate on the nature of the universe.

For more info on Mackenzie, please see his teacher profile here. He teaches donation-based Hot Vinyasa Flow weekly on Mondays 7:45-8:45pm.

Yogi Book Club: The Yamas & Niyamas by Deborah Adele
2026-06-30 17:30 - 19:30
Free Community Event!

Will meet TWICE on this book! June 16th and June 30th.
Grab your book and save the dates! Community Members are welcome to join even if they are unable to finish the book, as there is much value to be gained from discussion.
Please sign up in advance so we know to expect you!
*ACY does not provide copies of the book. Please consider checking out from your local library, or buying used. The audiobook is available as well.
From GoodReads.com:
The first two limbs of the eight-fold path of yoga sutras—the basic text for classical yoga—are examined in this spiritual guide to the practice of yoga. Foundational to all yogic thought, they are considered to be the guidelines to the yoga way of living that free individuals to take ownership of their lives, direct them toward the fulfillment they seek, and gain the skills to choose attitude, thought, and action.
The first five guidelines are referred to as the yamas—a Sanskrit word that translates to “restraints”—and encompass nonviolence, truthfulness, not stealing, nonexcess, and nonpossessiveness. The last five are referred to as the niyamas, or observances—purity, contentment, self-discipline, self-study, and surrender. A self-study section at the end of each chapter may also be used by instructors for group discussion.

For more information on the book club facilitator Stephen, please see his teacher profile here! He teaches donation-based Hot Vinyasa Flow on Fridays 6:15-7:30pm, Yin & Restorative on Saturdays 1:30-2:30pm, Vinyasa Flow on Sundays 1:45-2:45pm.

Everything in its Right Place: Radiohead Flow w/ Heather Irene Smith

Please create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, or financial aid, please email Kelsey at kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org
Step onto the mat for a deeply immersive, 2-hour Vinyasa masterclass sequenced entirely to the atmospheric, layered, and sonic landscapes of Radiohead.
This workshop bridges the gap between somatic movement and deep listening. Using the band’s iconic rhythms—from the driving baselines of In Rainbows to the hypnotic electronica of Kid A—we will explore a fluid, creative Vinyasa flow designed to drop you entirely into the present moment. This is an experiential journey where breath, beat, and body become one seamless meditation.
We’ll start with grounding & attuning, then move into chanting & breathwork. The Fluid Flow (Vinyasa) will be 75 minutes of a continuous, creative, and rhythmic Vinyasa flow. The sequence builds in intensity alongside the music, peaking with powerful, expressive sequencing before gently winding down. We’ll conclude movement with a deep release in passive restorative postures, a long, immersive final rest and a brief closing meditation. Class will close with an opportunity for community connection: a dedicated window at the very end for students to ask questions, share their experiences, or chat about the playlist.
You can expect:
-A Unique Somatic Experience: Discover how complex musical rhythms can unlock new patterns of fluid movement and expression in your physical practice. -Deep State of Flow: Experience the powerful stress-relief of a 75-minute continuous, breath-to-movement Vinyasa flow. -Curated Playlist Access: Walk away with a digital link to the custom 2-hour Radiohead playlist so you can recreate the therapeutic, ambient experience at home.

Egyptian Energy Healing & Breathwork w/ Katrinna
2026-07-11 10:15 - 12:15
Please create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, or financial aid, please email Kelsey at kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org

Join Katrinna for a deeply restorative Egyptian Energy Healing & Breathwork experience inspired by the ancient practice of Sekhem, a high-vibrational energy healing modality connected to ancient Egyptian spiritual traditions and the energetic symbolism of the sun.
Sekhem is an energy healing system similar to Reiki, where practitioners channel this life-force energy to balance the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual layers of the body. It brings in an ancient power and wisdom that comes from the source of the sun. This harmonization creates unique healing frequencies that often reported as being of a higher vibration than Reiki. It brings in an ancient power and wisdom that comes from source.

Through breathwork, visualization, and grounding, you can tap into something ancient and profoundly healing.

In ancient Egyptian teachings, the sun represented life force energy, illumination, vitality, and renewal. Drawing from these themes, this workshop is designed to create space for grounding, energetic movement, emotional release, and reconnection to self.

The experience will begin with a gentle introduction to the foundations and history of Sekhem, followed by guided breathwork practices intended to calm the nervous system, deepen awareness, and encourage energetic openness within the body. You’ll learn a brief introductory history of the Netaru (divine energies), Djedhi, and the energy of the Nile River, pyramids, and the legend behind this powerful knowledge. Participants will then be guided through an immersive meditation and group energy healing experience incorporating Egyptian-inspired visualization, intentional rest, and energetic alignment practices. The workshop will close with an energizing breath practice to help participants leave feeling more awake.

This offering is open to all levels, and modifications will be available throughout the experience to support accessibility and comfort for everyone attending.
Katrinna teaches donation-based Meditation on Thursdays from 10:45-11:15am. For more information on Katrinna, please see her teacher profile here!

The Somatics of Conflict w/ Meredith Rosenbluth
2026-07-16 18:30 - 20:00
Please create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, or financial aid, please email Kelsey at kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org

Please note: this is part of a 3-part series that focuses on healing through a Somatic Lens. Each workshop is individual, but participants are invited to join all 3 if they wish. Please see more about The Somatics of Trauma and The Somatics of Attachment for more.

Conflict is an inevitable part of the human experience—and for many of us, it feels overwhelming, threatening, or unsafe. We ache to be seen, heard, and connected, yet we avoid, shut down, or blow up in the face of relational strife.
Our responses to conflict live inside our bodies. So does our capacity for repair.
In this experiential workshop, we’ll explore conflict through a somatic lens, focusing on the nervous system as the key to both understanding our conflict patterns and growing our ability to skillfully repair.
This workshop includes education, self-inquiry, group discussion, and experiential somatic practice.

In this workshop, you will:
Understand the basics of the nervous system and why a somatic approach to conflict is essential
Reflect on your personal survival instincts, early patterning, and default responses to conflict
Learn practical somatic techniques for recognizing activation and working with different nervous system states (i.e., fight, flight, anxiety, shutdown)
Explore foundational principles of rupture and repair, including how to move toward reconnection
Ultimately, you will leave with practical tools, increased self-awareness, and a deeper understanding of how to support yourself through relational strife with greater presence, effectiveness, and care.

A testimonial from Meredith’s February 2026 workshop, The Somatics of Trauma: “Meredith really made this class so amazing. I did not know exactly what to expect going in, but the amount of information that was given was so digestible. Meredith presented it in a way that was easy to understand and apply to my own life. I really enjoyed that she presented agreements at the beginning of class that set the tone for listening and sharing so that everyone felt comfortable. I left the class feeling like I could move forward with a new confidence in myself and in my body.”

This workshop is facilitated by somatic emotional health coach and educator, Meredith Rosenbluth. Offering 1:1 coaching, breathwork, and group programs, Meredith is devoted to cultivating attuned, grounded, vulnerable, and joyful spaces to foster meaningful connection and personal transformation.

Didgeridoo Journey: Presence is Love w/ Corey Costanzo

There’s a particular kind of stillness that happens when sound moves through you rather than just around you. The didgeridoo does that in a way that’s hard to describe yet easy to feel.
The didgeridoo is the world’s oldest wind instrument. This deceptively simple hollow piece of wood produces a hauntingly rich sound laced with overtones and vibrations that facilitate a deep sense of relaxation and connection to one’s inner wisdom. Experience the ancient sound of the didgeridoo as you are guided along a journey of rhythm, breath, and soul.
You’ll spend most of the workshop lying in comfortable restorative poses, surrounded by bolsters and blankets, while the resonant sounds of the didgeridoo work their way through your body.
Before we begin, you’ll get simple guidance to help you drop in and receive the experience fully. Afterward, we’ll use a brief journaling prompt and small group sharing to help you make sense of what arose, and walk away with something useful for your own self care practice.
This is an invitation to turn toward yourself for a while with no agenda and nothing to fix. Just pure presence, which is its own form of love.
This workshop will follow a similar structure to Corey’s weekly restorative yoga with didgeridoo class with added space for gentle pranayama and guided imagery to help enhance and deepen your relaxation journey. He will be playing multiple didgeridoos in different keys to flow through various meditative states. Join us for two hours to unwind and let the didgeridoo guide you to a deep place of relaxation and ease.

The Somatics of Trauma w/ Meredith Rosenbluth

Please create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, or financial aid, please email Kelsey at kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org

Please note: this is part of a 3-part series that focuses on healing through a Somatic Lens. Each workshop is individual, but participants are invited to join all 3 if they wish. Please see more about The Somatics of Conflict and The Somatics of Attachment for more.

The Somatics of Trauma is a compassionate, educational, and experiential workshop designed to help you understand trauma through the lens of the body—both in impact and in healing. We’ll explore the ways our bodies are wired to protect us; what trauma is and why it can lock the protective instinct on overdrive; and how to somatically support ourselves in finding safety and ease, both during activation and as a baseline in our lives.
Through lecture, personal reflection, group discussion, and gentle movement practices, this workshop invites a deeper sense of self-understanding and provides practical tools to bolster nervous system regulation and resilience.
Through this workshop, you will:
✨ Learn about the functions and operations of the nervous system✨ Examine and understand trauma; its types and causes (PTSD vs. cPTSD); and why a somatic approach to healing from trauma is essential✨ Develop awareness of what your primary protective responses are; when they are rooted in the present vs. the past; and how to be with them rather than act from them✨ Learn simple movement practices to support self-regulation when triggered and expand your capacity in everyday life
✨ Be held in an attuned and compassionate container while navigating tender material
✨ Leave with a sense of empowerment, clarity, and a renewed connection to your body’s innate capacity for healing
As humans, we are wired for connection; healing happens interpersonally. This workshop is an invitation to settle, to learn, to be curious, to feel, to move, to connect, to reflect, to integrate, and to be.

A testimonial from Meredith’s February 2026 workshop, The Somatics of Trauma: “Meredith really made this class so amazing. I did not know exactly what to expect going in, but the amount of information that was given was so digestible. Meredith presented it in a way that was easy to understand and apply to my own life.

Into Stillness: A Breath & Sound Journey w/ Andrew Greene

Yogic philosophy teaches us that lasting peace does not come from life circumstances.

It comes from within.

This integrated breathwork & sound bath experience activates your body to work through any emotional or psychological blockages, and then calms your nervous system for a lasting sense of peace and clarity.

The experience is divided into two phases:

Breathwork for Activation: We open and expand your state of awareness with rhythmic, conscious breathing, accompanied by evocative music. This phase opens up your being to a higher intelligence, often provoking unexpected insights, profound visions, and deep emotional release.

Sound Bath Into Stillness: Then, we follow with an organic sound bath tuned to 432 Hz, a frequency commonly associated with calming the nervous system. The deep peace you access enables seamless integration of the fruits of the breathwork into your body and mind.

10 or so minutes will be allocated at the beginning for gentle movement practice, grounding and releasing physical blockages for the journey ahead.

The Somatics of Attachment w/ Meredith Rosenbluth
2026-09-03 18:30 - 20:00
Please create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, or financial aid, please email Kelsey at kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org

Please note: this is part of a 3-part series that focuses on healing through a Somatic Lens. Each workshop is individual, but participants are invited to join all 3 if they wish. Please see more about The Somatics of Conflict and The Somatics of Attachment for more.

Attachment patterns shape our closest relationships—how comfortable we are with intimacy, with space, and with ourselves. In this experiential workshop, we will explore attachment theory through a somatic (body-based) lens. We will learn how attachment patterns form, how they express through our nervous systems, and how somatic work holds the key to healing our attachment wounds.
Through interactive lecture, guided somatic practices, journaling, and group discussion, you’ll begin to understand your attachment patterns more fully and develop the tools to create greater security within yourself—and by extension, within all of your relationships.
This workshop is ideal for anyone curious about their relational patterns or aware they have some healing to do; invested in developing healthier relationships; seeking deeper self-understanding; and/or looking for tools to support their attachment security in a sustainable and effective way.

Through this workshop, you will gain:

A working knowledge of how attachment patterns develop and function
The ability to identify secure, anxious, disorganized, and avoidant attachment responses/behaviors in yourself
A foundational understanding of the nervous system’s role in attachment and healing
Easily applicable tools to navigate moments in relationship when you and/or your partner are triggered
Somatic practices to regulate the nervous system and increase inner safety, both as a baseline and when attachment wounds flare
Greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and language to understand your personal relational dynamics
Initial steps toward cultivating a more secure attachment within yourself

We cannot change what we are not willing to see, and we cannot outsource our healing.

A testimonial from Meredith’s February 2026 workshop, The Somatics of Trauma: “Meredith really made this class so amazing. I did not know exactly what to expect going in, but the amount of information that was given was so digestible. Meredith presented it in a way that was easy to understand and apply to my own life. I really enjoyed that she presented agreements at the beginning of class that set the tone for listening and sharing so that everyone felt comfortable. I left the class feeling like I could move forward with a new confidence in myself and in my body.”

This workshop is facilitated by somatic emotional health coach and educator, Meredith Rosenbluth. Offering 1:1 coaching, breathwork, and group programs, Meredith is devoted to cultivating attuned, grounded, vulnerable, and joyful spaces to foster meaningful connection and personal transformation. All of you is welcome, exactly as you are in any given moment, always. You can learn more about Meredith’s private practice here.

Tennis Ball Therapy (In-person & Virtual) w/ Diane Saccone
2026-09-10 18:30 - 20:30
Please create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, or financial aid, please email Kelsey at kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org

Bring two tennis balls and a large sock to hold the tennis balls to the workshop.

Tennis ball therapy uses tennis balls to release movement restrictions, restore mobility, and reduce pain by targeting the connective tissue network, rather than muscles alone, making it an affordable and effective tool for muscle care.
Key benefits include: -Pain relief as pressure from the tennis ball stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, which help block pain signals -Improved flexibility, by reducing muscle tightness promoting a better range of motion-Enhanced circulation through stimulating blood flow, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the targeted muscles. This improved circulation aids in the removal of metabolic waste products, reducing inflammation and promoting faster muscle recovery-Muscle relaxation & Reduces stress: The gentle pressure and stimulation of the skin promote relaxation and reduce stress levels, contributing to overall well-being.
Self-massage with tennis balls is greatly enhanced by stretching, which further increases circulation and re-educates the muscles to rest for a longer length. Stretching allows muscles to be softer, more fluid and longer in their resting state. Combining asana with self-massage is particularly useful for those of us who have muscles that for various reasons (injury, overuse, or years of inactivity) resist stretching.
In this workshop, we will use tennis ball therapy to unlock the feet and gluteals, lengthen the hamstrings and adductors, open and relax the shoulders, arms hands and neck to the muscles along the spine which will restore balance to the body and the mind through the action of prana. We will begin at the bottom of the body and work our way up to the head and then finish our time together in a relaxing 10 minute savasana. This practice is safe for all age levels and abilities.
An e-workbook with the exercises we will be doing will be provided prior to the workshop. Bring two tennis balls and a sock to hold the tennis balls to the workshop. 5 CEU’s will be offered to yoga teachers and qualifying health practitioners.

Mindfulness Tools to Manage Stress, Triggers, and Self-Criticism
Recovery isn’t just about staying sober—it’s about learning how to actually live.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or frustrated by patterns that keep repeating, you’re not alone. Many people in recovery struggle not because they lack discipline, but because they haven’t been taught how to work with their thoughts, emotions, and nervous system in a practical way.
This 2-hour experiential workshop offers a different approach.
Through guided mindfulness practices, real-world tools, and interactive exercises, you’ll learn how to slow down, respond to stress more effectively, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself. This isn’t a lecture—it’s something you’ll feel and practice.
What You’ll Learn
-How to get out of autopilot and into the present moment -Tools to manage stress, cravings, and emotional triggers -How to work with difficult emotions instead of avoiding them -Ways to quiet the inner critic and build self-compassion -Simple practices you can use in everyday life
What to Expect This workshop is experiential and accessible to all levels. You’ll be guided through a series of short practices, reflections, and optional partner exercises designed to help you apply what you’re learning in real time.
No prior meditation experience is necessary.
Workshop Flow -Presence: Grounding your attention and building awareness -Regulation: Working with stress, cravings, and emotions -Compassion: Shifting your relationship with yourself -Connection & Play: Rebuilding connection and a sense of ease -Integration: Simple ways to bring these practices into daily life
Who This Is For
Individuals in recovery (all pathways welcome) Anyone feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or disconnected Yoga students looking to deepen mindfulness beyond the mat
What You’ll Walk Away With
You’ll leave with practical tools you can actually use—along with a simple plan to integrate mindfulness into your daily routine so it becomes part of your life, not just something you try once.

Vinyasa & Sound Bath to Embrace the Equinox w/ Timothy Burgin

Please create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, please email Kelsey at kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org

The equinox marks a place of balance and a transition point. This shift from summer to autumn is a natural time to align your practice with the changing rhythms of the earth, to release excess of summer and prepare the body and mind for the quieter months ahead.
We will use asana and pranayama to support this shift by focusing on stability, gratitude, letting go and renewal. A hour long sound bath will follow the vinyasa sequence to further ground, nourish, calm, and harmonize your body, heart, and mind. Sound baths promote deep release and relaxation, and entrain our brainwaves to shift into a dreamlike state.
Let yourself surrender and be bathed by the soothing sound waves of singing bowls, gongs, rainsticks, tongue drums, chimes, and other sound healing instruments.

A 90-minute experiential workshop using rhythm, mindfulness, and play to cultivate presence, connection, and emotional well-being.

In a world that moves fast and demands constant attention, many of us lose touch with our natural rhythm. We spend our days thinking, doing, and reacting, often leaving little space to simply be. Rhythm offers another way.
Across cultures and throughout history, rhythm has brought people together. More than music, rhythm is a shared human experience that invites us to listen, respond, adapt, and connect.
Human beings are naturally wired for presence, connection, creativity, and play. Yet the pace of modern life often pulls us away from these qualities, leaving us feeling rushed, disconnected, or overwhelmed. This 90-minute experiential workshop invites you to slow down, reconnect with your body, and discover how tuning into musical rhythms naturally creates the conditions for your nervous system to settle. As we slow down together, many of the qualities that are naturally part of being human—presence, connection, curiosity, and joy—begin to emerge. Come as you are. Leave feeling more grounded, more connected, and more in rhythm with yourself.
This workshop is designed to be welcoming, accessible, and engaging for everyone. No musical experience is necessary. **All instruments are provided.**
What to Expect
This is a hands-on, experiential workshop where everyone participates. Together we will explore: * Simple rhythm instruction that makes participation easy for everyone * Progressive rhythm experiences that cultivate focus, presence, and regulation * Mindfulness practices that deepen awareness and embodiment * Grounding exercises that support nervous system regulation * Playful rhythm games that encourage laughter, curiosity, and authentic connection * Moments of reflection to help integrate the experience into everyday life

This isn’t about musical ability or performance. It’s about being present, connecting with others, and discovering what becomes possible when we slow down together.

What You’ll Experience
Participants often leave with: * A calmer, more settled nervous system * Greater presence and mindfulness * A deeper sense of connection with themselves and others * The freedom and joy that come from play * Increased confidence in their body’s natural capacity to regulate and restore balance * Practical experiences they can draw upon when life feels overwhelming
Who This Is For
This workshop is for anyone who wants to: * Slow down and experience greater ease * Feel more grounded and present * Reduce stress and mental busyness * Connect with others in a fun, supportive environment * Experience mindfulness through movement, rhythm, and play
No musical background or drumming experience is required. Accessible and inclusive for all ability levels

6 Week Series for Bone Health (In-Person & Virtual) w/ Diane Saccone
2026-10-05 10:00 - 11:30
Please note: This date refers to the first of 6 sessions.This course will occur over 6 consecutive Mondays from October 5th through November 9th from 10:00 a.m.- 11:30 a.m. Should you need to miss a session, it will be recorded and accessible for 2 months.
Frailty Syndrome is a term used to describe a body-wide set of interconnected issues including musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, metabolic and immunologic systems. This group of symptoms is related to the decline of health as we age either as a result of habit, chronic disease or a combination of both. As we move less, muscular weakness and atrophy set in, which cascades to the nervous system, causing the nervous system not to fire as efficiently because of the lack of muscles to stimulate into action.
Poor habits, social isolation and lifestyle contribute to accelerated aging as well as stress and a negative attitude on life. This series will incorporate yoga techniques and strength training to combat common results of Frailty Syndrome, like Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis.
Sarcopenia- The loss of muscle mass, where the muscles that die and are replaced by fat, begins around the age of 30 along with loss of bone mineral density at the rate of 1% per year.
Osteoporosis-The risk of bone fracture- increases due to the increasing loss of bone mineral density as we move past the age of 30.
You will also learn how our sensory faculties work in concert to create efficient neuromuscular movement, sensorimotor integration, and musculoskeletal activation. We will examine how the brain integrates and processes information and input from the visual, sensory, and vestibular systems and how yoga and functional fitness can help us enhance neuromuscular integration to maintain stability and mobility throughout our lives.
Additional skills we will learn include:

The importance of proprioception, especially how the proprioceptively rich palms of the hands and soles of the feet play a key role in establishing better balance in both stillness and movement
Discussions around new research about proprioception that shows how it may help restore balance in cases of stroke, Parkinson’s, and other chronic conditions that affect walking
How to enhance proprioceptive awareness through asana practice
How to work with breath-based asana practice to progressively build better balance and stabilize your system from the core outward
The role of the foot in maintaining postural equilibrium as the foot moves from static placement to shifting balance in the activities of daily living, such as walking, stair climbing, and reaching
Simple steps you can take throughout the day to improve your balance

This course will be available through zoom recordings and digital for those who do not live closeby or may miss a class. Recordings will be available for 2 months after the program concludes.
Students will receive a workbook along with the course and this course qualifies for 10 CEUs with Yoga Alliance. CEU’s may also be available for Physical and Occupational Therapists. Email Diane at grdngrl54@gmail.com for more information regarding CE credits

Alignment 101 w/ Dana Maria
2026-10-10 10:15 - 12:15
Strengthen and stabilize your practice to improve safety and confidence.
Yoga poses don’t have alignment—people do.
Ever wonder why we do the poses the way we do them? Or why the posture doesn’t quite land in your body? Want to deepen your personal practice with a better understanding of the asana limb of yoga?
Join us for an all-levels workshop where we’ll explore how to create alignment that works for your body. We’ll move through the poses typically found in any Gentle or Vinyasa class to really get to the heart of how your body can land in each posture, and fully understand the difference between discomfort and pain.
We will unlock the full potential of your practice and discover how props can bring more comfort, support, and empowerment to your yoga journey.
Through mindful movement, and practical techniques, you’ll learn how to:
-Adapt poses to fit your unique structure-Find stability and ease in your practice-Reduce strain and prevent injury-Cultivate awareness of your body’s natural alignment.
Each asana has its own specific benefits and goals. For example:

Easy Pose: Promotes grounding and stretches hips and back.

Cat/Cow: Warms up the spine and increases mobility.

Downward Dog: Stretches and strengthens, elevates your mood.

Warrior Poses: Builds strength, balance, and flexibility, while cultivating mental focus.

This workshop is about how yoga feels, not how it looks.
It is perfect for anyone looking to refine their practice, build confidence, and move with greater freedom. All bodies and experience levels welcome!

Samskara & Synapse: Yoga to Rewire Your Brain w/ Timothy Burgin
2026-10-22 18:30 - 20:30
Please create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, please email Kelsey at kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org

Recent studies in neurobiology reveal how yoga can influence the creation, strengthening, and changing of the brain’s neural pathways. In yoga, our unconscious habit patterns are known as Samskaras. Yogis and modern science have found that when these habit patterns are repeated, the brain’s synaptic connections strengthen and speed up. When these patterns are strong enough, they run as automatic habits or our personal identity rather than conscious choices. Both yoga and modern neuroscience agree that these patterns can be changed.
This workshop offers a diverse toolkit of yoga practices: pranayama (breath control), asana (physical postures), kriya (a cleansing or energizing technique), mudra (hand gesture), Vairagya (non-attachment), Tapas (disciplined effort), and Drishti (focal point). These traditional techniques are informed by modern neurobiology research for their efficacy in rewiring unconscious and unhealthy patterns.
What You Will Learn:– What samskaras are in yogic philosophy, and how they relate to the neuroscience of conditioned neural pathways.– The basics of neuroplasticity, how the brain is thought to form, strengthen, and reshape neural connections.– How breath practices, mudras and Drishti (focal point) can each be used to down-regulate the nervous system.– How to use sustained isometric asana holds as engineered mastery experiences.– How Vairagya, the practice of non-attachment, can help dissolve an old pattern and make room for a new one.– How to use Tapas, disciplined effort, to strengthen a new synaptic pathway.– The importance of the neuroplastic pause, the brief gap between a trigger and your habitual reaction.– How to strengthen your Interoception, the ability to feel what’s happening inside the body.

Disintegration: Deep Vinyasa to The Cure w/ Heather Irene Smith

iPlease create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, or financial aid, please email Kelsey at kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org

This two-hour workshop pairs an atmospheric, fluid Vinyasa practice with the layered, hypnotic discography of The Cure.
Guided by atmospheric flow and gothic soundscapes, this session pairs dynamic Vinyasa with autumn’s reflective energy to create a deeply sensory movement ritual.
The practice weaves together dynamic, rhythm-driven flow with reflective somatic holds. Anticipate grounding pranayama and setting the energetic container, before moving into an awakening & fluid warm-up slow, creeping floor movement to build internal heat and open the spine. We’ll move into a dynamic darkwave vinyasa flow building through strong standing postures, balancing transitions, backbends, and heart openers.
Movements are synchronized directly to the building tempo and texture of the music of the Cure.
We’ll then transition into Yin-inspired stretches, twist sequences, and restorative poses to down-regulate the nervous system before an extended savasana, breathwork & closing Integration
(Note: This workshop is entirely experiential; there is no formal lecture or Q&A period).

Caring for the Caregiver (In-person & Virtual) w/ Diane Saccone
2026-11-12 18:30 - 20:30
CREATING A CULTURE OF INCLUSION:
A Community Event for Caregivers that support loved ones living with Dementia, Parkinson’s, traumatic brain injuries, as well as those caring for an older adult in general
Dementia is an umbrella term for various progressive neurological conditions causing severe cognitive decline, to include memory loss, difficulty remembering familiar tasks, and behavioral changes, impacting daily life. Over 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s. By 2050, this number is projected to rise to nearly 14 million. 1 in 9 people age 65 and older has Alzheimer’s.
Health and long-term care costs for people living with dementia are projected to reach $384 billion in 2025 and nearly $1 trillion with over 12 million Americans providing unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias. In 2024, unpaid caregivers provided an estimated more than 19 billion hours of care valued at more than $413 billion.
The dilemma of caregiving for parents with dementia involves immense emotional, physical, and ethical challenges, balancing the parent’s dwindling autonomy with safety, managing behavioral issues like wandering or repetitive questions, and the caregiver’s own well-being, often leading to isolation, burnout, and health problems, while navigating complex decisions about care levels and financial burdens. It’s a constant struggle to provide care while preserving dignity, deciding when to intervene versus honoring wishes, and finding support amidst overwhelming stress and a changing family dynamic.
In this workshop, we will go over identifying the signs of Dementia and when and how to intervene. We will also discuss the process of becoming a caregiver, key dilemmas and challenges.
Coping & Solutions Information will be provided on how to seek support, find respite care, and learn easy ways on how to make time for your own health to avoid burnout. Information will be provided to understand the disease to better manage behaviors and expectations of your loved ones.
We will learn how to raise awareness of dementia so that our community develops respect and inclusion for people living with dementia.
A workbook will be provided to include local resources and services that will help you work through this journey.
A gentle yoga practice will round out the workshop to help tend to your nervous system and provide simple tools to help you cope with managing stress that accompanies your role as a caregiver.
Cost: $30 Financial Aid Available

Embodied Boundaries w/ Meredith Rosenbluth
2026-11-15 10:15 - 12:15
Boundaries are an essential component of building safety, clarity, respect, and love in all relationships—including your relationship with yourself. And yet, so often, we struggle.
From a somatic perspective, difficulty implementing, adhering to, or receiving boundaries is not a character flaw. It is not the result of lack of willpower or knowledge about why boundaries are important. It is the result of a nervous system that is doing what it thinks it needs to do to keep you safe.
Being able to assert healthy boundaries in your life is as much about clarity around your needs as it is about capacity in your nervous system—to hold discomfort, to disappoint someone, to believe your needs are valid.
This workshop will include lecture, journaling, group discussion, and somatic activities to explore boundaries in a multifaceted and impactful way.
Through this workshop, you will:
✨ Do a deep dive into boundaries: different types, what function they serve in relationships, and how to handle the reactions they elicit
✨ Learn about boundaries from a somatic (nervous system) perspective
✨ Reflect on your personal relationship with boundaries: how they have been modeled to you, how your body responds to them, and how you assert them in your own life
✨ Gain clarity around your true needs and wants, and the ‘why’ behind your boundary patterns
✨ Practice somatic exercises to help your system grow its capacity to hold boundaries (both implementing and receiving them)
✨ Learn practical tools to create firm and loving boundaries in your life

If you struggle with asserting boundaries, receiving boundaries, or having your boundaries crossed, you are not alone. Join this workshop to explore this essential and tender topic in respectful, compassionate community, where we will get at the root of boundary issues (the nervous system!) and learn and grow together.
This workshop is facilitated by somatic emotional health coach and educator, Meredith Rosenbluth. Offering 1:1 coaching, breathwork, and group programs, Meredith is devoted to cultivating attuned, grounded, vulnerable, and joyful spaces to foster meaningful connection and personal transformation. All of you is welcome, exactly as you are in any given moment, always. You can learn more about Meredith’s private practice here.
A testimonial from Meredith’s February 2026 workshop, The Somatics of Trauma: “Meredith really made this class so amazing. I did not know exactly what to expect going in, but the amount of information that was given was so digestible. Meredith presented it in a way that was easy to understand and apply to my own life. I really enjoyed that she presented agreements at the beginning of the class that set the tone for listening and sharing so that everyone felt comfortable. I left the class feeling like I could move forward with a new confidence in myself and in my body.”
For more information on Meredith, please see her teacher profile here! Meredith teaches a weekly donation-based Meditation on Wednesdays from 1:15pm-1:45pm.

Slow Flow & Sound Bath for Grounding & Gratitude w/ Timothy Burgin

Please create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration, please email Kelsey at kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org

When we are experiencing a state of gratitude, we feel naturally full, abundant, and blessed. When we are grounded, we feel more present, calm, centered, and clear-headed. Summon the energies of gratitude and grounded-ness in a slow flowing vinyasa sequence focusing on upper back bends and stable and rooted standing asanas. A hour long sound bath will follow the vinyasa sequence to further ground, nourish, calm, and balance your body, heart, and mind.
Sound baths promote deep release and relaxation, and entrain our brainwaves to shift into a dreamlike state. Let yourself surrender and be bathed by the soothing sound waves of singing bowls, gongs, rainsticks, tongue drums, chimes, and other sound healing instruments.
What to Expect:– We will start with a 60 minute slow and mindful Vinyasa flow to embody both gratitude and groundedness.– We will end the yoga practice with a pranayama and meditation practice to transition towards stillness.– We will end with an hour long sound bath, using singing bowls, gongs, rainsticks, tongue drums, chimes, and other sound healing instruments.– We will have a closing integration to help carry the sense of grounding and gratitude with you after the workshop ends.
