Upcoming Workshops

YOGA FOR RESILIENCE:  A 4-WEEK SERIES

with Marjory Stevens

Mondays:  Through February 23 I  4:30-6pm

"A good half of the art of living is resilience." - Alain de Botton

Resilience is the process and outcome of successfully adapting to challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to external and internal demands.

How can yoga promote resilience?
The physical, mental, and spiritual practice of yoga helps individuals face large or small challenges so that they can flow with greater ease with what is happening. The key to building stress resilience and increasing health and happiness is embracing what is – rather than clinging to how things “should” be.

Yoga provides an opportunity to examine how you respond to physical, and mental challenges and to create healthy responses. In this way, yoga allows one to make use of the wonderful gift of neuroplasticity-your brain's ability to change itself. 

The better your brain and mind are at adapting to change, the easier it becomes to meet stress head-on. 

The trick is to befriend change and embrace the wobbling. 

This is resilience.

"When we learn how to become resilient, we learn how to embrace the beautifully broad spectrum of the human experience."  - Jaeda Dewalt

Most students who practice yoga regularly notice an increase in vitality and an overall sense of well-being. 

Whether for fitness, as a relaxation technique, or as a stepping stone to higher awareness, yoga has the inherent power to make a profound and positive difference in your life.

Kirtan - A Sacred Music + Chanting Experience 

with Sangita Sisters 

 Saturday, February 28 | 6:00pm - 7:30pm

Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of devotion and is often practiced via 

kirtan, or chanting.

Kirtan is a call and response of Sanskrit chants or mantras.

 The chanting is accompanied by guitar, drums, and often a harmonium. Songs are simple – just a few lines repeated over, and over, and over. In the repeating of these words, something truly magical happens; the pranic body begins to awaken.

This is the subtle energy layer that we begin to tune into and directly experience when we practice yoga. It moves and transforms energy from the environment into life force energy (another example of this would be breath work, or pranayama.) When our pranic body is strong, we feel less fear and more joy, vibrant and even youthful, healthy, and active. Kirtan is one way to clear out blockages and make space for more of what you love in your life!

Sangita Sisters is a soulful kirtan collective dedicated to sharing the beauty of Bhakti yoga through devotion, music, and community. 

Rooted in sacred chant and shared practice, the group has been playing together for over a year and has recently reimagined the group with its three original members, Annette, Jenn and Katie, 

joined by new members Autumn and Rico.

The Sisters believe in the power of Kirtan to unite hearts and elevate spirits. Their voices weave together in harmony, inviting participants into a space of connection, surrender, and joy. Whether leading a group in ecstatic call-and-response chanting or offering gentle, meditative melodies, they infuse every gathering with love and devotion. Through their music, the Sangita Sisters hold space for transformation, inviting all to experience the magic of Bhakti—the yoga of love and devotion.

Join your ATMY+W Family in welcoming local yogi/musician friends, Sangita Sisters, for an evening of community jubilation 

and uplifted spirits.
Open your heart, feel connected, and find your voice!

PROGRAM PRICE: 

General admission $20

If you have the means to purchase a ticket for $25, this further supports Sangita Sisters to continue being able to share their gifts with us!

*There is a limited pool of funds available for anyone who might need some financial support to be able to attend this event. Please call or email the front desk at 401.409.2121 or info@allthatmatterswellness.org to inquire.

Myofascial Release Yoga for Shoulder Mobility

with Morgan Huling

 Sunday, March 15 | 12:30pm - 2:00pm

 Expand your self-care routine and enhance your yoga practice with feel-good techniques that nourish your connective tissue!

Myofascial Release (MFR) Yoga involves using yoga props and self-massage tools (see below) to release tension, improve movement, and return connective tissue to a healthier state. It is not only excellent for relieving general discomforts, but also reducing chronic pain, enhancing athletic training and recovery, accelerating healing from injury and surgery, and more.

This month, we're focusing on shoulder mobility! We’ll explore self-massage techniques for the rotator cuff and more, freeing up the shoulder girdle for better posture, easier movement, and less chronic pain.  

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND the purchase of RAD Recovery Rounds for use in this workshop, and to keep for your own use at home! To receive a $5 (20%) discount, follow THIS LINK to start your shopping. For those who do not bring these recommended tools, tennis balls will be available for borrowed use during the workshop.

PLEASE NOTE: MFR Yoga is not appropriate for all bodies at all times. Consult with your physician first if you have any serious illness or condition, including but not limited to hernias, osteoporosis/osteopenia, circulatory issues, heart disease, advanced diabetes, cancer or risk of lymphedema. If you are not medically cleared to receive deep massage, MFR Yoga is also contraindicated.

If you are interested in addressing specific pain, learning more focused techniques, or customizing an MFR routine for athletic performance/recovery, please email Morgan to discuss private or small group sessions.
