Winter is a time where we are invited to move inward, to find rest within the body, to find stillness within the mind, and to restore and nurture our nervous system. Winter is also a time to allow a warm and cozy comfort to weave itself into our life. Grab your most comfy socks and your softest blanket and come experience the healing practice of restorative yoga accompanied by the soothing vibration of live music. Restorative yoga improves circulation and digestion, assists the body in eliminating toxins and reduces muscle tension. This practice invites your body to be supported by props, signaling safety to the nervous system, and encouraging the body to gently stretch and open while releasing habitual, unnecessary, tension. It’s a very unique opportunity to experience live music in combination with yoga. There is much evidence to support that the emotional resonance of live music promotes well-being, reduces stress and enhances our overall mood. This class is a 3-part series, which invites a different musical artist to showcase their talent each month. January begins with the soulful Virginia Masland. Virginia was born and raised in Cumberland County. She is a singer and multi-instrumentalist who is deeply rooted in the music scene of South Central PA. Between her own original songwriting and selectively reworked covers ranging from traditional folk to classic country, Virginia creates music that is stripped down, thoughtful and genuine.
February gives us the gift of Megan Woodland Donley Hewitt. Megan is an enchanted artist residing in York, Pa with her husband and musical partner, Jeff, stepson Avery, beloved dog Yeshe and cat named Avalo. Her passions are many and she is a creator of art, poetry and music as well as a 500 hour Certified Yoga Instructor, coach and practitioner of healing arts. Her band, The Wild Hymns, has recorded 4 albums of original music and they perform internationally.
March showcases the ambient sounds of Michael Piaskowski and…plants! Michael is a semi-professional musician and intuitive sound practitioner. During this class, he will be collaborating with plants as they offer their subtle energy to generate music and sound. Michael will add live instrumentation and voice to create lush etheric soundscapes.
Jennifer is a certified trauma-informed yoga teacher with a focus and interest on gentle movement designed to relax and restore the nervous system. Jennifer began her study of yoga more than a decade ago. Her interest began as a physical & external practice with the sole intention of unwinding after years spent in the corporate world; where she was often exhausted, burnt-out & lacked the tools to quiet her mind. Jennifer found that yoga supported her physical & mental health, it offered her release of deeply held tension, healing & restoration. What started out as a physical practice quickly evolved into an understanding of the internal yoga practice of stillness, growth, balance & acceptance. Jennifer's love of yoga led her on a journey to become a teacher in 2020, where she embraced her passion for sharing restorative movement within her community. She believes we are living in an unprecedented time of high burn-out, high stress & high tension in mind, body and spirit. Jennifer offers students a chance to disconnect from the outside world & reconnect to their body, find safety and stillness in their mind & relax into a space that promotes health and well-being.
