Evening facilitated by Clarissa Boggess (she/her), owner/instructor
Cost to attend: $10. Pre-register or Drop In. Join us the third Friday of every month for an immersive experience where you will be guided to a state of relaxation through mindfulness, slow, rhythmic breathing and the sounds of over-tone-rich instruments. The gongs, singing bowls, and other sound/vibrational instruments your nervous system, leaving you with a sense of bliss. Some of the measurable health benefits of sound bath & mediation may be: reduction in symptoms of anxiety and stress, promoting more restful sleep, offering support in lowering blood pressure, and pain relief. Expect to sit or lie in relaxation while the deep, earthy tones of the Chau gongs and bright, soothing tones of singing bowls and bells wash over you. For stressed and overly-active minds, the tones from the gong give the mind something to anchor to as you learn to release into deeper states of relaxation. You are welcome to bring your own yoga mat, pillows, blankets, and bolsters or borrow some of ours. The studio has all that you will need to pad your nest and support your comfort. |

Welcome to our monthly community discussion group!
First Sundays we gather for community satsang: spiritual reflection, discourse, and exploration. Offered in a reverent but relaxed fashion, this is a time to connect with community and engage in discussion as we delve into topics, practices, and spiritual systems that facilitate personal growth and understanding. Folks from all philosophical, religious, and spiritual backgrounds are welcome. This is a free community offering however donations are gratefully accepted. * No special supplies required * You may want to bring a journal or notebook * Dress comfortably - we will be seated or reclined the majority of the time. Chairs, bolsters, blankets, mats, and blocks are available for your comfort. Satsang: translates loosely to "in the company of truth". Historically, satsang referred only to a gathering in the presence of a true enlightened being, or satguru. In modern times, satsang has evolved to mean any gathering in which spiritual reflection, discussion, meditation or teaching takes place. |

Kicking off on Sunday, January 5th, ABS meets for five, weekly, 90 minute workshop style classes. Each week's class will include:
* intro to yogic philosophy and lineage
* exploration of how to use props for alignment and pose variations to support your practice
* intro to mindfulness and meditation
* intro to mantra (chanting/vocal toning) and how it supports nervous system health
* intro to the concept of the energy body
* into to, and practice of, foundational yoga postures (asana) - beginning with a foundation in Sun Salutations
Because consistency matters, your payment for the series includes an additional 5 Class Pass (valued at $75) that can be used toward any regularly scheduled class at Painted Lotus Yoga & Wellness. This class pass allows you the opportunity to establish a regular yoga or mindful movement practice outside of our weekly workshop class.
This series is for you if:
* You've always wanted to try yoga but have no idea where to start
* You're intimidated by the idea of walking into a yoga class
* You're coming back to yoga after a break
* You're recovering from an injury or surgery
* You have other physical considerations for your practice and are not sure how to navigate that on the mat
* You want to learn how to reduce stress - manage pain - gradually build strength - improve range of motion
* You're looking for a system that offers spiritual sustenance as well as physical, mental, and emotional health
Please contact the studio with questions.
