SUMMARY:Reset Your Nervous System for Relaxation (In-Person & Virtual) w/ Jot Anant
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: Resetting the Nervous System – A Holistic Approach to Ease and Relaxation \nIn today’s fast-paced world\, the human nervous system often struggles to keep up with the rapid pace of societal and technological changes. It’s important to recognize that while the world around us is evolving quickly\, our nervous systems simply cannot evolve at the same rate. This workshop is designed to help you slow down\, reconnect\, and find balance\, especially in moments of stress and overwhelm. \nThroughout this experiential workshop\, we will take a deep dive into several holistic practices to support the nervous system and bring you back into a state of calm. We will explore: \n\nThe Nervous System: Understanding how it works and how we can support it through mindful practices.\nThe Pancha Kosha Theory: A traditional model describing the five layers of our being – from the physical body to the innermost essence.\nPranayama (Breathing Techniques): Simple\, yet profound breathing practices that regulate the nervous system and promote relaxation.\nThe Vayus (Wind Energies): The five energetic forces that govern movement in the body and mind\, helping to restore balance and harmony.\nYin Yoga: A gentle\, restorative practice that targets the connective tissues\, allowing for deep release and relaxation.\nMeditation: Mindfulness and concentration practices that quiet the mind and center the self.\nYoga Nidra: A guided\, deep relaxation technique that promotes profound rest and rejuvenation.\nSound Healing: The use of sound vibrations to soothe the nervous system and promote healing at a cellular level.\n\nThrough these combined practices\, we’ll explore ways to reset the nervous system and return to a place of ease\, clarity\, and relaxation. My hope is that\, by the end of this workshop\, you will leave with a toolkit of accessible techniques to use in your everyday life. These tools will empower you to more effectively tune into your current state of being and understand what you truly need\, while extending more grace and compassion to yourself during moments of challenge and upset. \nJoin us for this integrative experience and gain the knowledge and practices to restore balance\, reconnect with your true self\, and move through life with greater ease and resilience. \n\nCost: $45 \n\nFinancial Aid Available- Please visit the front desk\, or email Kelsey@AshevilleCommunityYoga.org \n  \n​Click Here to Register for In-Person Attendance \nClick Here to Register for Virtual Attendance\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nFor more information on Jot Anant\, please visit her website at www.JotAnant.org\, or see her teacher profile here.

SUMMARY:Dementia Caregiver Support w/ Diane Saccone
DESCRIPTION:CREATING A CULTURE OF INCLUSION:  \nCaring for loved ones living with Dementia \nDementia 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.  \nHealth 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.  \nThe 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.  \nIn 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.  \nCoping & 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. \nWe will learn how to raise awareness of dementia so that our community develops respect and inclusion for people living with dementia. \nA workbook will be provided to include local resources and services that will help you work through this journey.  \nA 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. \nCost: $25 Financial Aid Available \n\n \n			\n				Click Here to Register\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				PLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming.

SUMMARY:Astrology for Inner Alchemy: Personal Integration through the Planets & Signs w/ Meredith Rosenbluth

Exploring your life through this framework is one of many paths to increased self-understanding\, self-acceptance\, and healing. \nA testimonial from November 2025: \n“Meredith shares information in a way that is easily digestible. In the past\, I’ve found my natal chart to be unapproachable\, but with Meredith’s guidance\, I feel like I was given keys to unlock all of the doors to my personal chart.” \nMeredith is devoted to cultivating attuned\, grounded\, vulnerable\, and joyful spaces to foster meaningful connection and transformation.

SUMMARY:6 Week Series for Bone Health (In-Person & Virtual) w/ Diane Saccone
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This date refers to the first of 6 sessions.This course will occur over 6 consecutive Mondays from June 1st through July 6th 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. \nFrailty 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. \nPoor 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. \nSarcopenia- 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.  \nOsteoporosis-The risk of bone fracture- increases due to the increasing loss of bone mineral density as we move past the age of 30.  \nYou 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.  \nAdditional skills we will learn include:  \n\nThe 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\nDiscussions 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\nHow to enhance proprioceptive awareness through asana practice\nHow to work with breath-based asana practice to progressively build better balance and stabilize your system from the core outward\nThe 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\nSimple steps you can take throughout the day to improve your balance\n\nThis 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. \nStudents will receive a workbook along with the course and this course qualifies for 20 CEUs with Yoga Alliance. CEU’s may also be available for Physical and Occupational Therapists.

SUMMARY:Partner Yoga & Thai Massage Series w/ Leaflin Winecoff
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This series is a 4 week long offering\, meeting every Thursday in June. Price is per PAIR\, only one part of the pair needs to register to secure your spot. \nDid you know that you are a healer?\nThis four week series will help you to find out! \nPartner yoga is a great way to connect with your asana practice in a new way\, while deepening connection with a loved one. \nThai yoga massage (sometimes called “lazy person’s yoga”) is an ancient practice that can be described as a symbiotic healing dance\, where the benefits of yoga are experienced by both the giver and the receiver. We use hands\, feet\, elbows\, knees\, rhythm and gravity to gently open the energetic channels of the body\, restoring ease and flow. This practice is done fully clothed on a mat on the floor\, and typically does not use oils. \nWe will be focusing on some simple and effective techniques that are accessible for most bodies to give and receive. Each session of the series will incorporate a brief partner yoga warm up and then focus on a different set of Thai Massage sequences: Seated\, Supine\, Side-lying and Prone. \nExpect to learn: ~How Curiosity\, Compassion\, and Communication are at play in this art ~Intelligent body mechanics and safety protocols for giving and receiving ~The importance of shared breath ~Practical tools for helping your loved ones feel good in their bodies! \n*This is NOT training to become a professional massage therapist\, but to gain skills for personal use and well-being. \nThe basics of intelligent body mechanics\, giving and receiving\, and cultivation of loving kindness are paramount to to this practice\, and will be cultivated throughout. This is not a training to become a professional bodyworker\, but is meant to provide participants with useful tools to be shared with friends and loved ones. The hope is that you’ll leave feeling great in your own body\, and inspired to help others feel great in theirs! *Please do come with a partner you feel comfortable practicing with. \nTestimonial from a previous Partner Yoga & Thai Massage Workshop:  \n“Everything was so perfect! What a beautiful class offering to connect deeper with your partner. We’re looking forward to taking what we learned and using it in our daily life! Thank you for everything. It was truly special. We can’t wait to attend the next one!” \nPlease note: This workshop is limited to 10 pairs! \n*Modifications and variations will be shared for every technique taught as there is no one-size-fits-all massage.

Please consider checking out from your local library\, or buying used. The audiobook is available as well. \nFrom GoodReads.com: \nThe 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. \n 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. \n \nFor more information on the book club facilitator Stephen\, please see his teacher profile here!  He teaches donation-based Warm Vinyasa Flow Mondays 7:30am-8:30am\, Gentle Flow Mondays 12:15-1:15pm\, and Warm Vinyasa Flow Tuesdays 4:15pm-5:15pm. \nPlease create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person.

We do have a 10 minute grace period\, and we encourage you to call the studio to let us know if you are running behind.

DESCRIPTION: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  \n\nThis workshop will explore various dimensions of Nada Yoga\, the Yoga of sound. \n\nAs 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.”\n \nThis soundbath and meditation will welcome the Summer Solstice in community\, embracing the longest day of the year together.   \n\nWe 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.\n\n\n\nThis is a great opportunity to rest\, relax\, come back to yourself\, and meditate on the nature of the universe.  \n  \n\n\n\n\nFor more info on Mackenzie\, please see his teacher profile here.

SUMMARY:Egyptian Energy Healing & Breathwork w/ Katrinna
DESCRIPTION: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  \n \nJoin 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.  \nSekhem 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. \nIn 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. \nThe 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. Participants will then be guided through an immersive meditation and group energy healing experience incorporating Egyptian-inspired visualization\, intentional rest\, and energetic alignment practices. \nThe workshop will close with an energizing breath practice to help participants leave feeling more awake.  \nThis offering is open to all levels\, and modifications will be available throughout the experience to support accessibility and comfort for everyone attending. \nKatrinna teaches donation-based Meditation on Thursdays from 10:45-11:15am.  For more information on Katrinna\, please see her 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.

SUMMARY:The Somatics of Conflict w/ Meredith Rosenbluth
DESCRIPTION: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  \n \n \nPlease 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. \n \n \nConflict 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. \nOur responses to conflict live inside our bodies. So does our capacity for repair.  \nIn 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. \nThis workshop includes education\, self-inquiry\, group discussion\, and experiential somatic practice. \n  \nIn this workshop\, you will: \n  Understand the basics of the nervous system and why a somatic approach to conflict is essential \n  Reflect on your personal survival instincts\, early patterning\, and default responses to conflict \n  Learn practical somatic techniques for recognizing activation and working with different nervous system states (i.e.\, fight\, flight\, anxiety\, shutdown)  \n  Explore foundational principles of rupture and repair\, including how to move toward reconnection  \nUltimately\, 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. \n \n \n \nA 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.”  \n \nThis 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. \nFor more information on Meredith\, please see her teacher profile here! Meredith teaches a weekly donation-based Meditation on Wednesdays from 1:15pm-1:45pm. \nCost: $25Financial 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. 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:The Somatics of Trauma w/ Meredith Rosenbluth
DESCRIPTION: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  \n \n \nPlease 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. \n \n \nThe 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. \nThrough 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. \n  \n \nIn this workshop\, we will cover: \n\nNervous System Fundamentals: We will learn about the overall functions of the nervous system; our innate protective responses (fight\, flight\, freeze\, fawn); and spend time identifying your personal nervous system blueprint \nUnderstanding Trauma: We will explore the definition of trauma; types of trauma (acute vs. complex); and how trauma imprints and echoes in the body \nThe Goal of Somatic Healing: We will discuss why working with the body is essential in trauma healing; what the aims of trauma healing work are; and myths we are often fed about it \nSomatic Regulation Practices: In the final hour of the workshop\, we will practice accessible\, body-based tools to help calm the nervous system\, restore balance when dysregulated\, and cultivate a greater sense of safety in daily life\n\n \n \nBy the end of this workshop\, you will: \n\nUnderstand the functions and operations of the nervous system\nDevelop awareness of what your primary protective nervous system responses are; when they are echoes of trauma; and how to be with them rather than act from them\nCultivate greater tenderness towards your body’s responses and the wisdom inherent in them\nExamine and understand trauma\, its causes\, and its somatic impacts from a compassionate and objective lens\nLearn simple movement practices to support self-regulation and emotional balance in everyday life\nLeave with a sense of empowerment\, clarity\, and a renewed connection to your body’s innate capacity for healing\n\n \nAs 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. \n \n \n \nA 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.”  \n \nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Yoga & Self-Care for Bodyworkers and Caretakers w/ Jenny Bourdette
DESCRIPTION: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 \n\n \n \nIn this workshop\, we’ll review why as bodyworkers and caregivers\, it is equally important that we care for our own vessel.\n\nA lot of times as a caregiver\, one can absorb a lot of the physical and emotional stress that comes from those that we work with\, especially if you are a highly sensitive person.  The tasks at hand can be physically demanding\, the grief\, the emotional exchange\, it adds up and it can be very easy to lose a sense of self in while in caregiving roles. This course will focus on various physical and energetic methods of self-care for the bodyworker or caretaker\, or anyone who works with students\, clients or patients in a healing or supportive role. \nJenny will guide students through pranayama (or breath work)\, mantras\, energy healing through sound\, open discussion on ways we can hold energetic boundaries\, Qigong and movement through yoga postures to focus on areas of tension common in therapists and care takers. The methods provided will stem from Traditional Chinese Medicine\, Taoism and Yoga.  \nThe goal of this course is to assist the students in refilling their own cups in ways that resonate for them\, and offering ways they can care for themselves\, so they can better show up for others in their work and lives. \nTogether\, we’ll focus on replenishing energy\, finding movements that help to restore the physical and emotional bodies. \nThere will be an open discussion on other methods/tools students would like to share with group and a Yin and Restorative Yoga practice followed by a meditation to close out together.  \nStudents would leave with new tools\, knowledge\, and methods on caring for and replenishing their energetic and physical bodies to alleviate feelings of depletion or burnout in the field of bodywork or caretaking. \nThere will be handouts with some of the practices we do in the workshop\, mantras\, and resources. \n \nJenny teaches weekly donation-based Chair Yoga on Mondays at 12pm. To learn more about her\, see her teacher profile here! \n \nCost: $45 \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.

DESCRIPTION: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  \n \n \nPlease 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. \n \n \n \nAttachment 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.  \nThrough 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. \nThis 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. \n \n \n \n \nThrough this workshop\, you will gain: \n\nA working knowledge of how attachment patterns develop and function\nThe ability to identify secure\, anxious\, disorganized\, and avoidant attachment responses/behaviors in yourself\nA foundational understanding of the nervous system’s role in attachment and healing\nEasily applicable tools to navigate moments in relationship when you and/or your partner are triggered\nSomatic practices to regulate the nervous system and increase inner safety\, both as a baseline and when attachment wounds flare\nGreater self-awareness\, self-compassion\, and language to understand your personal relational dynamics\nInitial steps toward cultivating a more secure attachment within yourself\n\n \n \nWe cannot change what we are not willing to see\, and we cannot outsource our healing. \n \n  \n \n \nA testimonial from Meredith’s February 2026 workshop\, The Somatics of Trauma: “Meredith really made this class so amazing.

SUMMARY:Tennis Ball Therapy (In-person & Virtual) w/ Diane Saccone
DESCRIPTION: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  \n \n \nTennis 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. \nKey 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. \nSelf-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. \nIn 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. \nAn 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. \n \nDiane Saccone\, MS MT (ASACP) ERYT 500 spent the majority of her career in the field of Clinical Laboratory medicine changing careers after her move with her husband to Western North Carolina in 2005. She also developed the active older adult program at the YMCA of Western North Carolina where she served as the Director of Healthy Aging Initiatives and traveled through the Y of the USA as a subject matter expert on aging; lecturing and teaching evidence based falls prevention programs across the country.

SUMMARY:Vinyasa & Sound Bath to Embrace the Equinox w/ Timothy Burgin
DESCRIPTION: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 \n \nThe 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.  \nWe 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.  \nLet yourself surrender and be bathed by the soothing sound waves of singing bowls\, gongs\, rainsticks\, tongue drums\, chimes\, and other sound healing instruments. \nTimothy teaches a donation-based weekly Vinyasa Flow on Sundays from 10:30am-11:30am. For more information on Timothy\, 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.
