SUMMARY:Moving Into Recovery: Yoga for Excess and Deficit w/ Alex White
DESCRIPTION:at Asheville Community Yoga \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will use the practices of asana\, pranayama\, and meditation to identify the “blocks” within the body and mind that lead to compulsive and damaging behaviors. This will NOT be rooted in a 12 step approach; rather we will use the process of intuition\, and allow the body to sit with what arises. This workshop will allow practitioners to set an intention and achieve a state of embodiment\, thus illuminating the connection between negative self-talk and the habits it can lead to. \n\n\n\nCost: $30\, Financial Assistance Available \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming.

SUMMARY:Sowing Sacred Seeds Chakra Series w/ Jot Anant
DESCRIPTION:You can join this series at any time. Recordings of each session are provided & made available until July 2024. Please email Jot@AshevilleCommunityYoga.org to register(^ Please note this is not a one day event but a series course. The six meeting dates are January 14th & 28th\, February 11th & 25th\, March 10th & 24th. The first session (Jan 14th) will meet from 9 am – 1:00 pm. All other sessions will meet from 9:00 am – 12:30 pm \n\n\n\nat Asheville Community Yoga (or Virtual)  \n\n\n\n21.5 CE Credits provided to Yoga Teachers  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nA seed represents potential\, trust\, hope\, nourishment\, cycles\, change\, sacredness. \n\n\n\nA seed contains within it the potential for greatness.  \n\n\n\nA seed of any kind must be nurtured & lovingly placed within the proper environment in order for it to flourish & blossom to its fullest potential.  \n\n\n\nWe as humans are planting seeds all the time\, but the question is\, what seeds are we planting & which ones are we choosing to nurture? \n\n\n\nIn our haste we often plant a multitude of seeds without intention\, leaving them scattered & unattended\, expecting them to take root & bloom all on their own. But planting seeds is a sacred act as we are setting something\, intentionally\, into motion.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the Sowing Sacred Seeds Series we will utilize a holistic yoga approach (including asana\, pranayama\, mantra\, meditation\, yogic wisdom) alongside ceremony & ritual to start the new year with intention & clarity. We will work artfully & systematically with the 7 main Chakras to support us in uncovering what seeds it is we wish to plant\, as well as how to nurture those seeds from germination to their fullest expression. \n\n\n\nCultivating the life we wish to live takes time & patience\, trust & openness\, clarity & compassion\, willingness & determination. We must honor the process that it takes for a seed to go from planting to rooting to sprouting to full bloom. Working with the energy centers of the chakras to find harmony & balance can support us in this process of waiting & witnessing new forms coming to life\, revealing their splendor. \n\n\n\n“Each of the seven chakras are governed by spiritual laws\, principles of consciousness that we can use to cultivate greater harmony\, happiness\, & wellbeing in our lives & in the world.” ~Deepak Chopra  \n\n\n\nThis 6 part series will be broken up into two sections beginning by working with the lower three chakras of worldly matters & then the upper chakras of spiritual matters (as well as the heart chakra that bridges the two). There will be time between these sessions for practice\, reflection\, & integration in order to properly nurture the seeds we plant.   \n\n\n\nRituals that we will explore: \n\n\n\n~Ancestral Healing for Maternal & Paternal \n\n\n\n~Trataka\, a purifying meditation technique \n\n\n\n~Cacao ceremony & shaking as meditation \n\n\n\n~Kirtan\, devotional chanting \n\n\n\n~Yoga Nidra aka Yogic Sleep \n\n\n\n~Crafting a sacred altar space \n\n\n\nParticipants will be provided with handouts full of information for each chakra including ceremony details\, daily rituals\, & journaling prompts to deepen your connection. You will also have access to each class recording for 3 full months after the program ends.  \n\n\n\nPlease email Jot@AshevilleCommunityYoga.org to register \n\n\n\nMeeting Dates: \n\n\n\n1.

SUMMARY:Yin Yoga Teacher Training
DESCRIPTION:with Kelly Gilmore (In-Person)\n\n\n\nFebruary 3rd-5th and Feb. 24th-26th \n\n\n\nAsheville Community Yoga is excited to host continuing education for existing yoga teachers and anyone looking for a deeper dive into their yoga journey. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYin Yoga has so much to offer in regards to healing and alignment on the physical\, mental and energetic levels and has gained in popularity over the past many years. While “Yang” Yoga styles (Ashtanga\, Vinyasa and other “flow” styles) focus on muscles\, “Yin” Yoga focuses on connective tissues with deeper longer holds and more time spent in stillness. \n\n\n\nThis training will provide you with the knowledge and embodied experience to safely and skillfully guide your students or yourself through transformative Yin Yoga sequences and classes. \n\n\n\nThis 40 hour Yoga Teacher Training is geared towards those who already hold a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training certificate and is worth 40 continuing education credits through Yoga Alliance. Although the training will be created with current yoga teachers in mind\, the format and information will be accessible for anyone looking for a deeper understanding of Yin Yoga as a therapeutic technique. \n\n\n\nClick here to learn more and to Register!

SUMMARY:Mantra Meditation w/ Jot Anant
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nMantra\, मन्त्र \,  translates from the Sanskrit root ‘man/manas’ (the thinking mind) and ‘tra/trava’ (to liberate\, to transcend).  \n\n\n\n\n \nMantra literally means liberation of the mind. \n\n\n\n\n \nIt 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.  \n\n\n\n\n \nChanting 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.  \n\n\n\n\n \nOther benefits of chanting mantra include: \n\n\n\n\n \n~Soothes anxiety \n\n\n\n\n \n~Releases stress \n\n\n\n\n \n~Brings deep joy and contentment \n\n\n\n\n \n~Opens the throat chakra \n\n\n\n\n \n~Uplifts our mood \n\n\n\n\n \n~Stimulates the vagus nerve \n\n\n\n\n \n~Calms the nervous system \n\n\n\n\n \n~Boosts the immune system \n\n\n\n\n \n~Stimulates secretions of the pituitary gland \n\n\n\n\n \nIn this workshop we will explore the nuances of sound in yoga\, learn different ways to incorporate mantra\, and use mantra as a form of meditation\, to soothe the mind and connect us back to our true Selves. By understanding the use of mantras participants will gain a better perspective of the application of sacred sound in their own personal Yoga sadhana (practice).  \n\n\n\n\n \n“Through mantra\, we can awaken the Divine light within us and expand beyond the limitations of space\, direction and manifestation. Through mantra\, one can learn to ride the waves of cosmic light and sound\, going back to the Divine Word at the heart of the world. This is the cosmic form of Mantra Yoga known only to Yogis who have gone beyond the body and mind.” – David Frawley \n\n\n\n\n \nCost: $30\, Financial Assistance Available \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nClick Here to Register Now\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \nPLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming.

SUMMARY:Harnessing the Light ~ An Awakening Love Workshop for Women
DESCRIPTION:Cultivating Connection and Honoring our Ancestors with Cacao\, Dance and More \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOct. 29th 2-5pm \n\n\n\nSliding scale: $35-$55 \n\n\n\nWe invite all women to join our Awakening Love Sisterhood for this sacred circle where we intend to honor and harness the light\, energy\, and wisdom of our ancestors during this auspicious time of year.  \n\n\n\nIn this experience\, Amber and Luna will guide you through… \n\n\n\n\nBuilding an altar to honor and illuminate the wisdom of our ancestors.\n\n\n\nUtilizing the elements to cultivate deeper awareness and connection to Self\, each other and beyond.\n\n\n\nCalling upon the ancient medicines of dance\, chant and cacao to support a deeper journey inward.\n\n\n\n\nYogic/Vedic scriptures guide us to honor our ancestors diligently. We believe in these guidelines and feel our prayers and offerings will support ALL souls in moving towards a more divine destination. Join us! \n\n\n\nPlease be prepared with the following… \n\n\n\n\nPhotos of your ancestors\n\n\n\nA journal and something to write with\n\n\n\nWarm layers of clothing\n\n\n\nA blanket and something to sit on the ground with (chairs will be provide for those who one) \n\n\n\n\nWe hope to hold this event outside. In the event of inclement weather\, we will move indoors (no refunds). For financial assistance\, please contact Amber\, amber@ashevillecommunityyoga.org. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Cacao: \n\n\n\nCacao has been used for thousands of years in the Mayan culture of South America and beyond for medicinal\, spiritual and ceremonial purposes. The Mayans believe that cacao opens the emotional center of our body – our heart chakra. They believe the medicine works specifically by bringing us back to the feelings of love and interconnectedness. The Mayans believe that cacao helps us tune into our true and authentic selves and supports our ability to listen deep within to the callings of our heart where the truth of our power and wisdom are stored.  \n\n\n\nCacao beans are the seeds of the cacao tree. The beans\, or seeds\, are a source of many antioxidants called flavonoids. It’s not clear how these might work in the body\, but they appear to relax the blood vessels. This could lead to lower blood pressure\, and reduce inflammation and blockage of blood vessels. \n\n\n\nCacao is a mild stimulant. The cacao usually affects people in a similar way as coffee might. Again\, you do not need to consume the cacao to have a transformation experience during this gathering.  \n\n\n\nAbout Dance: \n\n\n\nDancing heals us.  \n\n\n\nThere are MANY health benefits to dance. Here are just a few… \n\n\n\n\nImproves agility and flexibility\n\n\n\nImproves balance and coordination\n\n\n\nImproves cardiovascular health\n\n\n\nImproves muscle tone and strength\n\n\n\nMaintains and builds bone strength\n\n\n\nAids in weight loss or maintenance\n\n\n\nImproves memory and cognition\n\n\n\nImproves mood\n\n\n\nReduces stress levels\n\n\n\nProvides an opportunity to be in community\n\n\n\nBoosts self-esteem\n\n\n\n\nWhen we move our bodies freely to the rhythms of music\, we often feel the sensations of liberation\, connection and authenticity. Sometimes strong emotions like grief\, anger and sadness will surface. Through dancing\, we’re provided with an opportunity to feel these emotions. Other times we are greeted with more pleasant emotions such as gratitude\, playfulness\, and JOY! Dancing helps us get beyond the distractions and contractions of daily life that hold us back from being our best selves. It is truly medicine for the Soul! \n\n\n\nAbout Awakening Love: \n\n\n\nWomen have gathered together in circles for generations to connect\, awaken and explore their natural instinct to love and serve others. As the creators and caretakers of the world\,we believe that it is essential for us to come together to open our hearts\, lift each other up and hold each other close so we can continue our sacred work in these times. This work is for our: bodies\, minds\, spirits\, communities and planet. \n\n\n\nAwakening Love is a circle of women\, a sisterhood\, that began in 2017. Many of the women who join Awakening Love workshops and retreats have been around since the origins of this special collaboration between our hearts (Amber and Luna) and have grown together over the years.  \n\n\n\nHowever\, we are an open and revolving circle\, always welcoming more kindred hearts to join! We welcome all new and long time sisters into this sacred circle of love where we support one another in accessing connection\, authenticity and empowerment. We invite you to join us!
