It’s been nearly 1 year since I’ve offered this all time favorite workshop, Reset Your Nervous System for Relaxation. “This workshop offered me the deepest relaxation & inner peace I’ve had in a long time! Many many thanks for this!” Yoga teaches us that we are each born whole, complete, & perfect!! Due to our many life experiences we tend to forget this state of wholeness, we forget who we truly are, & we get lost in our physical, mental, & emotional reactions to life. During this informational & experiential workshop we will utilize a holistic & traditional approach. Combining breath-work techniques, intuitive Yin, Yoga Nidra, Sound Healing, & Shaking Meditation to reset the nervous system back to a state of ease & relaxation. It is important for us to remember that the human nervous system simply cannot evolve at the rapid pace that society & technology has. Although much has changed with our lifestyle, diet, & society over the past 60+ years, our genetics & internal landscape have not gone through the same rapid evolution. Through this workshop you’ll acquire an array of simple yet profound tools that you can skillfully use as you learn to assess your current state of being & what your needs truly are. 🗓 Sunday June 30th
🕐 10:00am - 1:00pm
📍At @ashevillecommunityyoga
💲45, financial assistance available

Happy Hanuman Jayanti हनुमज्जयंती It is on this auspicious day, under the light of the full moon, that the strong, courageous, selfless, fearless, devoted, and humble deity Hanuman was born. 🏔️This is a powerful time for spiritual reflection and introspection.
🏔️A time to remind us of the power of devotion, humility, and selflessness.
🏔️How these qualities help us to overcome pettiness and obstacles and attain true spiritual growth. On this day it is traditional to chant the Hanuman Chalisa, a 40 verse devotional hymn (or stotra) in praise of Hanuman. Devoting to the Hanuman Chalisa has been one of the greatest gifts and blessings in my life. I enjoy observing what line I’m chanting as I awake in the morning, quite often it is the same chaupi. नासै रोग हरै सब पीरा ।
जपत निरन्तर हनुमत वीरा ॥ Nase rog harae sab peera
Japat nirantar Hanumant Beera All diseases, pain and suffering disappear on reciting regularly Shri Hanuman’s holy name. Through devotion to this practice I have found within me a deep reservoir of strength, compassion, grace and humility. Many veils have been lifted, paths illuminated, perceptions shifted, my heart opened even further. Jai Hanuman, Sankata Mochan Baba Hanuman Eternally grateful for the continued blessings of this path. Image is a depiction of Hanuman carrying the Himalayan Mountains, an old print I stumbled upon many years ago, aged with grace and care.

I’ve spent the last many years in a state of cocooning, enveloping myself in a comfortable & protective layer as I undergo deep internal transformations & awakenings. I’ve been feeling a slow emergence from this stage, an unveiling from the chrysalis, & my recent time in Peru was a powerful time of welcoming.

A time of great pause, of purification, of spiritual rejuvenation, of realignment. The energy & yin qualities of the Divine Feminine were deeply palpable in each experience, wrapping me in her sweetness, her wisdom, & her ferocity. I’ve found it hard to yet put the experiences into coherent written sentences, so instead I allowed singular words to flow, each holding immense meaning. soften. sense.

And when I arrived home, my sweet niece Blake gifted me a butterfly 🦋 sticker, symbolizing for me the final emergence from the cocoon ☺️

Transformation: tran(t)sfərˈmāSH(ə)n/
✨ a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance.
✨ a metamorphosis during the life cycle of an animal.
✨ a process by which one figure, expression, or function is converted into another that is equivalent in some important respect but is differently expressed or represented. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about transformation, how it carries with it an inherent undercurrent of hope for something better. At its core, transformation implies a journey or process of significant change, often leading to evolution. Whether it’s personal transformation or societal progress, the notion of transformation suggests a departure from the status quo towards a brighter future. It embodies the belief that individuals, systems, and communities can overcome challenges, learn from experiences, and emerge stronger and more resilient. Transformation requires courage, perseverance, and a willingness to embrace uncertainty and discomfort. It symbolizes resilience and optimism. It inspires us to envision a better world and take proactive steps towards realizing that vision.
May we each transform our

🔱Happy Maha Shivratri!! The great night of Shiv

🔱Happy Maha Shivratri!! The great night of Shiva Consciousness, the night that nourishes & dissolves. It is a time for self-reflection & introspection for the purpose of growing & leaving behind all that hinders us. Shiva is known as the Adi Yogi, the first Yogi. The one who brought us the divine sciences & practices of Yoga. The nature of Shiva is wellbeing, acceptance, & compassion. “The ages of the world are long, & at the end of each one, Shiva stands ready to turn it all to dust, so that yet another world can be created to exist for yet another age. In order to dance like Shiva, we must feel free. Freedom comes from knowing there is nothing that binds us permanently. Shiva’s dance is born out of a liberation from the fear of change. He teaches us to ride the waves of change as if we’re on a cosmic surfboard, coasting toward the shore of bliss. Shiva’s lessons are integral to the yogic path. In the Yoga Sutra, Patanjali outlines five obstacles that prevent us from true freedom, which are called the kleshas. The fifth & most powerful obstacle is the fear of death, or abhinivesha. Death is the ultimate change & takes many forms in our lives, until the greatest death of all, which comes at the end. As the lord of death & destruction, Shiva understands that change, even one as great as death, is really the only constant in the universe. The fear of change causes more stress than possibly any other fear. The sheer desire to have things remain the same, according to the Buddha, is the nature of suffering. Conversely, embracing change liberates us from suffering. If you want to make something new, you must destroy something old or allow it to die. So Shiva, in his ultimate wisdom, is utterly compassionate in his destruction. He gives us the freedom to demolish our social norms & create something entirely new. He creates the space for us to make positive, abundant choices in our lives & let go of fear. If we truly want change, then we must learn to embrace a little death & destruction.” Excerpt from “Myths of the Asanas” by Alanna Kaivalya & Arjuna van der Kooij
