A Monthly Offering

with Sangita Sisters

at The Shala at All That Matters yoga + wellness

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, a harmonium 

+ stand up bass.

 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. 

These amazing women, Annette, Sarah, Jennifer, Lisa, Katie, + Sue, 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. 

Open your heart, feel connected, and find your voice!

RESTORATIVE RETREAT NIGHT

with Morgan Huling

FRIDAY, AUGUST 15 | 6:30-9:30PM

 
"You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." - Buddha

Experience the present moment and explore your own inner landscape through gentle movement, easeful breath, supported rest, and guided relaxation.

Restorative yoga offers space for slowing down, relaxing the body, and soothing the mind. This quiet and receptive practice is beneficial for all, especially in times of stress or when in need of replenishment. Conscious relaxation balances the nervous system, alleviating stress and deeply held tensions to create an environment of healing.

In this special summer mini-retreat, we'll take a pause from the stimulating outside world and sink into a sacred space of stillness. Gentle spinal twists, forward folds, and inversions will support us in releasing excess heat from the body and emotional irritability from the mind. We’ll leave with a deeper sense of calm and clarity, 

along with practical self-care tools for keeping cool all summer long.

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

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE YOGA:  LOWER BODY

with Morgan Huling

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20 | 6:00-7:30PM

 PLEASE NOTE: MFR Yoga, while an incredibly effective and nourishing practice, is not appropriate for all bodies at all times. Read this description in full before signing up.

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

Fascia is a continuous system of connective tissue that exists head to toe without interruption. It provides a scaffolding for the whole body; connecting, supporting, protecting, and lubricating so that everything in our bodies can move efficiently. However, as we age and experience stress, trauma, overuse patterns, etc., fascial tissue becomes rigid, tight, dense, dry and adhesive, affecting our structure and often causing tension and pain.

Myofascial Release (MFR) Yoga involves using yoga props and self-massage tools (see below) to release tension, improve movement, and return fascial tissue to its earlier, 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, etc.

This month, our lower body focus will target feet, legs, and pelvis/hips. We’ll mindfully move through Sun Salutations and more, weaving in MFR techniques throughout the practice to experience their immediate effects on flexibility, strength, balance, 

and brain-body connection.

Explore the potential of MFR Yoga to:

• Relieve pain from fascial and muscular adhesions
• Improve strength and stability by restoring tissue integrity and hydration
• Improve balance by restoring neuromuscular connection
• Increase flexibility and joint movement by improving our elastic potential
• Increase circulation of blood and lymph

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 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.

MONTHLY GONG BATHS

with Stephanie Marisca

Friday, August 29 | 7:00-8:00pm

Friday, September 26 | 7:00-8:00pm

Friday, October 17 | 7:00-8:00pm

Friday, November 21 | 7:00-8:00pm

Friday, December 19 | 7:00-8:00pm

Get your gong on! We are excited to welcome Stephanie Marisca 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 leave feeling rested, relaxed and rejuvenated.

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

PROGRAM PRICE: $25

5-Bath passes are back! If you're a regular attendee, 

consider a 5 pass for $100

Early registration is strongly recommended as these events tend to fill!

These workshops are an invaluable foundation for self-transformation, healing, and for anyone developing a healing practice.
