Join Sierra Hollister for her Moon Tula (tula = balance in Sanskrit) Workshop! Sierra writes, "Our yoga practice offers us the opportunity to be in relationship with our soul. Our relationship with nature is born of the cycles of sun, moon and earth. Aligning our practice to the rhythms of sun, moon and earth is a way to achieve a much deeper, richer balance and harmony in life. Our relationship to sun, moon and earth is lifelong and perpetually alive with nourishment and wisdom unique to each of us. In our time together, we'll learn some of the simple ways to implement the monthly rhythm of the moon in our yoga practice and our lives." This workshop is all-levels and beginner friendly.

Stop by the Bookshop on Saturday, November 5th between 12pm and 1pm to meet Sierra Hollister, yoga teacher and author of new book, "Moon Path Yoga: Kundalini Practices and Rituals for Women to Align with Lunar Cycles." Kundalini is one of the oldest forms of yoga, and it includes powerful, specific teachings for anyone identifying as female. Its lunar practices awaken the divine feminine, and also support overall well-being, health, and vitality. "Moon Path" is a beautifully-illustrated guide to this practice, featuring over 170 meditations for practitioners of all levels. Don't miss your opportunity to meet the author and be one of the first people to get your hands on this gorgeous book.

This moon circle will be extra special!

Tuesday, October 25th is a solar eclipse and the eclipse energy overrides the new moon energy. This moon circle will be dedicated to flowing above the turbulence of eclipse season with sound energy : mantra & gong. You’ll emerge ready to ride the waves of eclipse season with energy and confidence.

Tuesday, October 25th is also the day that “Moon Path Yoga” is officially released into the world! The moon circle will conclude with a book signing, golden milk and healthy cookies!

I would LOVE to share a yoga flow with you at LEAF’s Solid Gold 50th festival!

Join me on Saturday morning at 9:00 am in the Big Barn for a kundalini flavored yoga flow designed to get your festival ON!

AND! I will have copies of “Moon Path Yoga” available for sale post yoga and I would be delighted to sign copies and chat about the moon and yoga and life and love.

I’m so honored to be a guest at this festival and I would LOVE to have you join me at ZenFest and especially ~ join me for “ONLY LOVE IS REAL” ~ 2 hours of flowing vinyasa, kundalini kriya and sweet golden gong ~ all designed to unlock the heart and remind you : only love is real

This workshop is the result of personal ritual and practice that spans 30+ years. It has become an annual event, previously offered as a New Year’s Eve workshop, in person and now as a virtual event with recording accessible for lifetime access.

It is incredibly valuable to come together & work with the kriyas of Kundalini Yoga to cleanse the body, mind & spirit in a deeper & more comprehensive way. To arrive with the intention of releasing the energy of the preceding year, fully and completely from the Temple of our Bodies.

In light of being in the heart of winter, the practice is always vigorous. We seek to purify ourselves deeply and completely ~ a final wash. While vigorous, it is always accessible to all levels, from beginner to advance practitioner. Modifications are offered as well as reminders to do what you can and rest when you need.

You can join this event in real time, virtually, or practice with the recording later. As with all of my courses, there is lifetime access to the recording.

Registration prior to December 31st is required. To register, use this link

Here we are, living in the heart of the predicament, inhabiting an earth that is at once so broken, so imperiled yet so wild, so resilient. Our world, a seemingly never-ending landscape of suffering and injustice is also interspersed with breath-taking beauty, raw magic, courage, kindness and bravery. How does our yoga practice fit into this landscape of constant change and perhaps more importantly, how do we live our yoga in a meaningful way?

Recognizing that Climate Change poses an imminent threat to all life, this  workshop series seeks to provide one of the possible answers to how we might live our yoga by both educating and empowering the yoga community in taking on the work of being Climate Awake and Climate Proactive. Along with the insight of fundamental yogic teachings, practical tools and ways forward will be shared.

This is the second part of a 3 part digital events series on the Yoga Alliance platform. This event is free and offers CE credits

Join Sierra & Chloe for an evening of yoga, song and renewal.

Flow, kriya and music to nourish the tender soul, nurture seasonal renewal and enrich the ground from which we grow. Both Beltane and Mother’s Day invite the ritual of renewal and gratitude.

Beltane, or the start of May is one of the cross quarter days on the wheel of the year, mid-way between equinox and solstice and ritual for both purifying and preparing for growth. Beltane translates to “bright fire”. Mother’s Day is a sweet bow of gratitude to the one who gave as life as well as all who have nourished us.

The promise of renewal is a whisper in every heart. We gather to draw the whisper out, to embody and make real this rejuvenation and reset, with movement and music.

This event will be livestreamed as well as recorded. Practice with us live or later, at your pleasure.

The shadow of the moon consists of the 72 hours preceding a moon day and after it. This is the Gibbous Moon, a time of building to the peak of fruition and energy. It is a time when we can constructively work with the energy. Monday's full moon is in Virgo and is known as the Crow Moon in some regions and the Sap Moon in others.

This evening will be about movement, yoga, music, meditation, intention and sound healing. It will be magical as well as accessible to all levels. Our hearts, hopes, intentions and power are all amplified when we come together. Virgo is about service, about showing love through service. Get ready for the mystical, the magical and the possible.

I've been an avid runner for most of my life and I am excited to share how yoga has supported my running and my body!

This is a 4 week series - Thursday evenings from 5:30 pm to 6:45 pm at Asheville Yoga Center, running through the month of December.

Yoga restores balance and symmetry to the body, making it the perfect complement to running. While runners might be drawn to yoga to deal with specific issues – like improving flexibility or helping with an injury – yoga can also strengthen your body, increase running times, help with breath capacity and balance muscles underutilized by running. In short, yoga can totally boost your running!

No previous yoga experience is needed for this class and the class is open to all. Anyone looking to stay injury-free and increase flexibility, strength, and peace of mind will enjoy this series.

All levels are welcome! The cost is $60 for the series and you can register at Asheville Yoga Center online!
