PRANOTTHAN YOGA AND THE THREE ESSENTIALS

with Devarshi Steven Hartman

Saturday, November 21 | 10:00am-12:30pm

 
When was the last time you gave yourself a long, unhurried yoga class? No rushing to the next thing. No squeezing it in before work. 

Just a full morning to breathe, move, and remember who you are?

This session is built around the three principles of Devarshi's new book, The Three Essentials: 

Timeless Principles for Inner Peace and Self-Transformation: 

Be Here Now. Feel It Fully. You Are Infinite, Eternal, and Whole. 

You won't just hear about them, you'll feel them in your body, breath by breath and pose by pose.

After a deep, well-earned savasana, we'll stay together for the second half of the morning. Devarshi will unpack the Three Essentials, 

share stories from five decades of teaching (some profound, some just funny), and give you simple practices you can take home and actually use. Then stick around for the book signing and a chance to connect.

For Pranotthan graduates, this is a chance to practice together again and feel the lineage you carry out into the world. For everyone else, it's a warm welcome into a practice that has been changing lives for decades. All levels are welcome, and laughter is encouraged.

HOW THE MORNING UNFOLDS:

• -A full 75–90 minute Pranotthan yoga class themed to the Three Essentials
• -A long, luxurious savasana (you'll thank us)
• -30–45 minutes of teaching, conversation, and Q&A on the Three Essentials
• -Simple, practical tools for bringing each Essential into daily life
• -A book signing with Devarshi (books available for purchase)

Make a day of it! 

After a lunch break, stay for Devarshi's two-hour afternoon workshop: THE POWER OF BREATH:

THE ART + SCIENCE OF PRANAYAMA

PROGRAM PRICE: 

$45* per session, or $85 for the full day

*Current PYTT students will receive a 10% discount on the individual session pricing.

THE POWER OF BREATH:

THE ART + SCIENCE OF PRANAYAMA

with Devarshi Steven Hartman

Saturday, November 21 | 2:00-4:00pm

 Breathing is the one thing your body does automatically that you can also take the wheel on. That's not a small thing. It's a doorway. The yogis figured this out thousands of years ago, and modern science is now catching up and nodding along.

In this hands-on afternoon at ATMY+W, author, longtime teacher, and former Dean of the Kripalu School of Yoga Devarshi Steven Hartman guides you into the extraordinary intelligence of your own breath. 

You'll learn what's actually happening in your body when you breathe: the diaphragm, the vagus nerve, how oxygen moves, and how the nervous system responds. Then you'll put that knowledge straight to work in five major Pranayama practices.

Expect real teaching, real experience, and a fair amount of laughter. This is not a lecture about breathing. You'll be doing it, feeling it, and noticing the shift in your own system in real time.

IN THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL:

• -Learn the anatomy of breathing, and why most of us have been doing it at about 30% capacity
• -Discover the vagus nerve, your body's built-in brake pedal, and how to press it on purpose
• -Practice five essential Pranayamas, some that energize and awaken, some that settle and soothe
• -Understand which practice to reach for and when: clarity before a big moment, calm before sleep, steadiness in the middle of chaos
• -Leave with a portable toolkit you can use in your car, at your desk, or at 3am when your mind won't quit

No experience necessary. No flexibility required. 

Just bring your curiosity and your lungs.

Come in scattered. Leave clear, awake, and unmistakably alive!

PROGRAM PRICE: $45*

 or 

$85 for the full day 

includes Devarshi's morning session, 

Pranotthan Yoga + The Three Essentials

*Current PYTT students will receive a 10% discount on the individual session pricing.

KIRTAN:  A SACRED MUSIC + CHANTING EXPERIENCE

with Sangita Sisters

Saturday, November 21 |  6:00-8:00pm

 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!
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!

Your pre-registration streamlines and quickens the check in process when you arrive. We strongly encourage you to get your tickets ahead of time. You can purchase online or call the front desk for help!

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.

WINTER SOLSTICE GONG BATH

with Stephanie Marica

Monday, December 21 |  7:00-8:00pm

 Step out of the holiday rush and into the sacred quiet of the winter solstice. As the Earth tilts furthest from the sun, we mark the longest night of the year—a traditional time for deep rest, reflection, and internal rebirth. This immersive gong bath offers a dedicated space to honor the darkness of the season, release the burdens of the past year, and welcome the subtle return of the light.

We are excited to welcome Stephanie Marisca back to All That Matters yoga + wellness to offer us this deep sound relaxation. Experience the vibrational healing of the bronze gong and Tibetan singing bowls.

You will lie down or sit comfortably and begin with mindful relaxed breathing, holding a personal or group intention. Then, the gong playing begins. At first, you hear soft gong sounds and as you listen carefully, you become aware of the many tones within one sound. The sounds become louder and louder washing over and around you, creating waves of sound that carry you into the past, the future, and even to other worlds. Many people experience something noticeable during a meditative Gong Bath; it can range from feeling their bodies twitch (as the energy meridians are cleared and balanced), seeing amazing splashes of color behind their closed eyes, past life recollections in full detail, a feeling of lifting out of their bodies and watching from above, to simply a feeling of total peace and connectedness. Whatever your experience, it will be the perfect experience unique to you.

Join us for this sound meditation circle and lean into the wisdom the dark and quiet days offer us as we cozy inward to connect to the peace of the inner Self. Leave feeling rested, relaxed and rejuvenated.

PLAN AHEAD: Please bring: a yoga mat, blanket, or padding to make yourself comfortable.
