FREE PARTNER INTEGRATED EMBODIMENT WORKSHOP

with Kerry Puniello

Thursday, November  21  | 6:15-7:30pm

 
Join Kerry, ATMY+W’s Holistic Therapeutic Coach and Yoga Teacher for a 75-minute exploratory embodiment process with your significant other. This class will help you to develop a deeper level of attunement, intimacy, and authenticity within relationship to another, as well as within yourself.

As you explore and play with relational boundaries, physical support, touch, massage, eye contact, mirroring, and other intentional mindbody exercises, you will be encouraged to shift out of your head and into your body tracking the felt sense of being in relationship with another while sustaining connection to yourself. Time for dyad sharing to gain greater insight and integration will be offered throughout the class.

Somatic-based exercises will be selected to help encourage a 

free-flow of energy between the individuals in relationship supporting the health and vitality of the relationship as well as the individual bodies. Mental and emotional wellness is supported by way of strengthening relational bonds and relational bonds are strengthened as the practices teach foundational present moment awareness, attunement skills, active listening skills, and grounding techniques.

RESTORATIVE RETREAT NIGHT

with Morgan Huling

Friday, December 13 | 6:30-9:30pm

 "Pausing is one of the most meaningful forms of self-care

 and community care."

 - Jillian Pransky

This holiday season, give yourself the gift of pausing to rest and recharge. Together, on the eve of 2024's last full moon, we'll escape from the stimulating outside world and relax into a soft 

and sacred space of stillness. 

A deeply nourishing practice, restorative yoga gives us the gift of slowing down, relaxing the body, and finding space within the mind. Yoga poses are experienced by lying passively over props such as blankets and bolsters, allowing the body to be fully held without having to exert any effort. Conscious relaxation balances the nervous system, alleviating stress and allowing us to surrender layers of deeply held tension to create an environment 

of healing in the body and mind.

This quiet and receptive practice is beneficial for all, especially in times of stress or when in need of replenishment. Join us to relax, restore, and nourish yourself in a warm cocoon of self-care.

Note: Essential oils and hands-on support (think a gentle press or massage) are incorporated into the evening. Both are optional, but for those very sensitive to essential oils please be aware that the scents may carry.

Pregnant people are more than welcome. Please call in advance to let us know, so that we can make sure to prepare with pose options and extra support for your safety and comfort.

PROGRAM PRICE: $60

If you are able, please join Morgan in supporting the growth and vitality of the All That Matters Yoga + Wellness community with

 an additional donation:

Purchase this workshop for $70, $80, or $90, and any amount over the base $60 ticket goes directly to our nonprofit.

You can also donate directly on the ATMY+W fundraising platform, Better World.

CONSCIOUS CONNECTED BREATHING

with Victoria Antonelli

Wednesday, December  18  |  6:00-7:15PM

 
Breathwork became an integral part of Eastern practices like yoga, Tai Chi, and Buddhism hundreds of years ago. 

However, this “lost art” didn’t surface in the western world until the conscious-raising era of the 1960s and 70s. 

Today, the most common forms of breathwork include Holotropic Breathwork, Rebirthing Breathwork, Clarity Breathwork,

 and Biodynamic Breathwork. 

Conscious Connected Breathing utilizes a circular breathwork pattern to relieve stress and remove emotional blocks. 

This 75-minute session begins with housekeeping and answering questions before setting an intention. 

From there, you'll hold the Conscious Connected Breath pattern for approximately 30 minutes, followed by a 7–8 minute meditation. 

The practice will close with a reading. Once the session concludes, there will be approximately 10 minutes available for journaling 

about your experience (optional).

The breath pattern consists of two deep inhales (into the stomach first then chest, each one expanding) and one exhale 

(short release- stomach contracts). 

You will be inhaling and exhaling through the mouth, all while lying down.

DISCLAIMER:
This breathwork can be intense -- emotionally, physically, and mentally! Therefore, consult a physician beforehand if you are pregnant or have a history of aneurisms, cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, vision problems, osteoporosis, if you’ve had any recent physical injuries or surgeries, or if you experience severe psychiatric symptoms / seizures or take heavy medication.

What you'll need:
- Yoga mat
- Yoga blanket
- Journal
- Something to write with 

PROGRAM PRICE: $30

FREE INTEGRATED EMBODIMENT WORKSHOP

Thursday, December 19 | 6:15-7:30pm

Join Kerry, ATMY+W’s Holistic Therapeutic Coach and Yoga Teacher 

for a 75-minute self-reflective class that will help you to develop a deeper level of attunement, connection, and authenticity with your 

body and essence (Self).

In this exploratory process, you will physically move through the segments of the body with intentional mindbody exercises and Core Energetics hands-on assists designed to shift you out of your head and into your body. Journaling prompts will be offered for further exploration and insight throughout the class. 

Somatic-based exercises will open energetic and physical blocks encouraging your life force to move in a full, free-flowing, unobstructed pattern, supporting the health and vitality of your whole body. Additionally, these embodiment practices will support mental and emotional wellness by teaching present moment awareness, 

grounding techniques and offering an opportunity for you to gain a better sense of yourself.

Please wear comfortable clothing to allow for movement, bring a journal, pen, water bottle, and yoga mat. No yoga experience is necessary, physical limitations can be privately discussed and all hands-on assists are optional.  For more information about Holistic Therapeutic Coaching, visit CoreVitality.life

MONTHLY GONG BATHS

with Stephanie Marisca 

Friday, December 20  | 7:00-8:00pm

 Get your gong on! 

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 leave feeling rested, relaxed and rejuvenated.

PLAN AHEAD: 

Please bring: a yoga mat, blanket, or padding 

to make yourself comfortable.

PROGRAM PRICE: $25

If you're a regular attendee, consider a 5-Gong Bath pass for $100

Early registration is strongly recommended as this event tends to fill!

 Gong in the New Year and begin 2025 with a new vibration, priming your subconscious to create the year you want!

A GOOD DEATH:

DISCUSSIONS ON DEATH & DYING FOR COURAGE & INSIGHT

with Usha Bilotta and Theresa Murphy

Saturday, January 4 | 2:30-5:00pm

Saturday, February 1 | 2:30-4:30pm

Saturday,  March 1 | 2:30 - 4:30 pm

ONLINE OPTION AVAILABLE

Register for 1, 2 or all!

Discount price available if you register for all 3! 

(Registration in all 3 workshops is encouraged, not required.)

Join longtime Yoga teachers, Usha Bilotta 

(also a Palliative Care Chaplain) and Theresa Murphy

 (also a Hospice Volunteer), in a discussion of Death & Dying. In this gathering, Theresa & Usha intend to safely and honestly uncloak Death. The discussion will include looking at all the ways talking about death has become taboo in our culture, how capitalistic powers purposely shield us from connecting with the deep truth of death, and how our culture can positively reclaim death as the honorable

 rite of passage that it is.

Usha & Theresa offer a re-framing of how we consider, discuss, and meet death – in the interest of courageously being fully present for our beloveds who are dying, in grieving our losses like mature humans, and in preparing to graciously meet our own inevitable 

truth in Death.

Some gentle movement, breathwork and meditation will be offered to prepare for an experiential savasana to honor the discussions and contemplations around the sacred passage of death.
