This improved circu lation aids in the removal of metabolic waste products\, reducing inflamma tion and promoting faster muscle recovery-Muscle relaxation & Reduces stre ss: The gentle pressure and stimulation of the skin promote relaxation and reduce stress levels\, contributing to overall well-being. \nSelf-massage with tennis balls is greatly enhanced by stretching\, which further incre ases circulation and re-educates the muscles to rest for a longer length. Stretching allows muscles to be softer\, more fluid and longer in their re sting state. Combining asana with self-massage is particularly useful for those of us who have muscles that for various reasons (injury\, overuse\, or years of inactivity) resist stretching. \nIn this workshop\, we will us e tennis ball therapy to unlock the feet and gluteals\, lengthen the hamst rings and adductors\, open and relax the shoulders\, arms hands and neck t o the muscles along the spine which will restore balance to the body and t he mind through the action of prana. We will begin at the bottom of the bo dy and work our way up to the head and then finish our time together in a relaxing 10 minute savasana. This practice is safe for all age levels and abilities. \nAn e-workbook with the exercises we will be doing will be pro vided prior to the workshop. Bring two tennis balls and a sock to hold the tennis balls to the workshop. 5 CEU’s will be offered to yoga teachers and qualifying health practitioners. \n \nDiane Saccone\, MS MT (ASACP) ER YT 500 spent the majority of her career in the field of Clinical Laborator y medicine changing careers after her move with her husband to Western Nor th Carolina in 2005.

We spend our days thinking\, doin g\, and reacting\, often leaving little space to simply be. Rhythm offers another way. \nAcross cultures and throughout history\, rhythm has brought people together. More than music\, rhythm is a shared human experience th at invites us to listen\, respond\, adapt\, and connect.  \nHuman beings are naturally wired for presence\, connection\, creativity\, and play. Yet the pace of modern life often pulls us away from these qualities\, leavin g us feeling rushed\, disconnected\, or overwhelmed.  \nThis 90-minute h ands-on workshop invites you to slow down\, reconnect with your body\, and discover how tuning into musical rhythms naturally creates the conditions for your nervous system to settle. As we slow down together\, many of the qualities that are naturally part of being human—presence\, connection\ , curiosity\, and joy—begin to emerge. Come as you are. Leave feeling mo re grounded\, more connected\, and more in rhythm with yourself. \nThis wo rkshop is designed to be welcoming\, accessible\, and engaging for everyon e.

Together we will explore: * Simple rhyt hm instruction that makes participation easy for everyone * Progressive rh ythm experiences that cultivate focus\, presence\, and regulation * Mindfu lness practices that deepen awareness and embodiment * Grounding exercises that support nervous system regulation * Playful rhythm games that encour age laughter\, curiosity\, and authentic connection * Moments of reflectio n to help integrate the experience into everyday life \n \nThis isn’t a bout musical ability or performance. It’s about being present\, connecti ng with others\, and discovering what becomes possible when we slow down t ogether.\n \n What You’ll Experience \nParticipants often leave with: * A calmer\, more settled nervous system * Greater presence and mindfulness * A deeper sense of connection with yourself and others * The freedom and joy that come from play * Increased confidence in your body’s natural c apacity to regulate and restore balance * Practical experiences you can dr aw upon when life feels overwhelming \nWho This Is For \nThis workshop i s for anyone who wants to: * Slow down and experience greater ease * Feel more grounded and present * Reduce stress and mental busyness * Connect wi th others in a fun\, supportive environment * Experience mindfulness throu gh movement\, rhythm\, and play \nNo musical background or drumming exper ience is required.

This series will incorporate yoga techniques an d strength training to combat common results of Frailty Syndrome\, like Sa rcopenia and Osteoporosis. \nSarcopenia- The loss of muscle mass\, where t he muscles that die and are replaced by fat\, begins around the age of 30 along with loss of bone mineral density at the rate of 1% per year. \nOst eoporosis-The risk of bone fracture- increases due to the increasing loss of bone mineral density as we move past the age of 30.  \nYou will also l earn how our sensory faculties work in concert to create efficient neuromu scular movement\, sensorimotor integration\, and musculoskeletal activatio n. We will examine how the brain integrates and processes information and input from the visual\, sensory\, and vestibular systems and how yoga and functional fitness can help us enhance neuromuscular integration to mainta in stability and mobility throughout our lives. \nAdditional skills we wi ll learn include: \n\nThe importance of proprioception\, especially how t he proprioceptively rich palms of the hands and soles of the feet play a k ey role in establishing better balance in both stillness and movement\nDis cussions around new research about proprioception that shows how it may he lp restore balance in cases of stroke\, Parkinson’s\, and other chronic conditions that affect walking\nHow to enhance proprioceptive awareness th rough asana practice\nHow to work with breath-based asana practice to prog ressively build better balance and stabilize your system from the core out ward\nThe role of the foot in maintaining postural equilibrium as the foot moves from static placement to shifting balance in the activities of dail y living\, such as walking\, stair climbing\, and reaching\nSimple steps y ou can take throughout the day to improve your balance\n\nThis course will be available through zoom recordings and digital for those who do not liv e closeby or may miss a class. Recordings will be available for 2 months a fter the program concludes. \nStudents will receive a workbook along with the course and this course qualifies for 10 CEUs with Yoga Alliance.

If you have any questions regarding registratio n\, please email Kelsey at  kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org \n \nRecent studies in neurobiology reveal how yoga can influence the creation\, stre ngthening\, and changing of the brain’s neural pathways. In yoga\, our u nconscious habit patterns are known as Samskaras. Yogis and modern science have found that when these habit patterns are repeated\, the brain’s sy naptic connections strengthen and speed up. When these patterns are strong enough\, they run as automatic habits or our personal identity rather tha n conscious choices. Both yoga and modern neuroscience agree that these pa tterns can be changed. \nThis workshop offers a diverse toolkit of yoga pr actices: pranayama (breath control)\, asana (physical postures)\, kriya (a cleansing or energizing technique)\, mudra (hand gesture)\, Vairagya (non -attachment)\, Tapas (disciplined effort)\, and Drishti (focal point). The se traditional techniques are informed by modern neurobiology research for their efficacy in rewiring unconscious and unhealthy patterns. \nWhat You Will Learn:– What samskaras are in yogic philosophy\, and how they rela te to the neuroscience of conditioned neural pathways.– The basics of ne uroplasticity\, how the brain is thought to form\, strengthen\, and reshap e neural connections.– How breath practices\, mudras and Drishti (focal point) can each be used to down-regulate the nervous system.– How to use sustained isometric asana holds as engineered mastery experiences.– How Vairagya\, the practice of non-attachment\, can help dissolve an old patt ern and make room for a new one.– How to use Tapas\, disciplined effort\ , to strengthen a new synaptic pathway.– The importance of the neuroplas tic pause\, the brief gap between a trigger and your habitual reaction.– How to strengthen your Interoception\, the ability to feel what’s happe ning inside the body. \nTimothy teaches a donation-based weekly Vinyasa Fl ow on Sundays from 10:30am-11:30am.

Join this workshop to expl ore this essential and tender topic in respectful\, compassionate communit y\, where we will get at the root of boundary issues (the nervous system!) and learn and grow together. \nThis workshop is facilitated by somatic em otional health coach and educator\, Meredith Rosenbluth. Offering 1:1 coac hing\, breathwork\, and group programs\, Meredith is devoted to cultivatin g attuned\, grounded\, vulnerable\, and joyful spaces to foster meaningful connection and personal transformation.

I did not know exactly what to expect going in\, but the amount of information that was given was so digestible. Meredith presented it in a way that was easy to understand and apply to my own life. I really enjoy ed that she presented agreements at the beginning of the class that set th e tone for listening and sharing so that everyone felt comfortable.

The Odyssey follows the same shape : a hero who must sail through danger and descend into the underworld befo re he can find his way home. \nThis workshop doesn’t move around the da rk half of that story — it moves through it\, the way the poem does\, us ing the practice to hold space for both the descent and the return.

It closes with a slow return to full light and a shared moment of reflection. \nThis is a workshop for a nyone drawn to mythology\, ritual\, and the deeper turns of the year — n o prior knowledge of the Odyssey is needed\, and no experience beyond a ge neral comfort with a yoga practice. \n\nFor more information on Pashupa\, please see his teacher profile here.
