SUMMARY:Spiritual Science - An Overview with Kasia Kane
DESCRIPTION: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?  \nLet’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.  \nWhat 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? \nIn 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. \nMy 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. \nCost: $30Financial Aid AvailablePLEASE 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:Mantra Meditation with Jot Anant
DESCRIPTION:Mantra\, मन्त्र \,  translates from the Sanskrit root ‘man/manas’ (the thinking mind) and ‘tra/trava’ (to liberate\, to transcend).  \nMantra literally means liberation of the mind. \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.  \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. \nOther benefits of chanting mantra include: \n\nSoothes anxiety\nReleases stress\nBrings deep joy and contentment\nOpens the throat chakra\nUplifts our mood\nStimulates the vagus nerve\nCalms the nervous system\nBoosts the immune system\nStimulates secretions of the pituitary gland\n\nEach student will receive an in-depth PDF Handout.   \nCost: $30Financial Aid AvailablePLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming.

SUMMARY:Integrative Breathwork for Self-Discovery  with Eddie LeShure and Margaret Kirschner
DESCRIPTION:Integrative Breathwork is a powerful adjunct to meditation and yoga\, effective for working with addiction\, trauma\, depression\, and anxiety.  \nIt 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.  \nYou 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. \nThe 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. \nIntegrative 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. \nACY will provide eye-coverings for this workshop\, but please bring your own if you would prefer. \nCost: $30Financial Aid AvailablePLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming.

SUMMARY:Yield to Yin- An Extended Yin Yoga workshop w/ Crista Ellis
DESCRIPTION:at Asheville Community Yoga \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYin Yoga focuses on the connective tissues of the body\, improving flexibility\, and increasing circulation in the joints. Suitable for all levels of students\, Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga. \n\n\n\nThis is not your average yin class. This is a potent practice where the challenge is cultivating strength and flexibility in relationship with your mind and body. Poses will be low to the floor\, holding anywhere from 3-12 minutes. This extended yin yoga workshop will allow us the time to explore and understand our physical boundaries. We will have the space to safely approach edges and decipher where and when to challenge self-limiting boundaries. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we will cultivate a tender approach to practice patience\, breathe deeply\, and illuminate the depths within. \n\n\n\nPlease note: Yin Yoga is not restorative yoga. Like all yoga practices\, if the tissues you are targeting for exercise are damaged in some way\, please give yourself a chance to heal before resuming your regular practice. \n\n\n\n*Room will be heated to 78 degrees. \n\n\n\n\nCost: $30 \n\n\n\nFinancial Aid Available \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\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. \n\n\n\nPlease 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 Sarah sarah@ashevillecommunityyoga.org
