This breathwork series is designed to take you on a journey to connect deeply to your true nature. By burning up what’s no longer serving you, igniting your personal power and stepping into your inner fire to light the path forward.

This practice is meant to be activating by controlling and quickening your breath to tap into your subconscious mind. This supports the natu- ral inner healing process and helps release stagnant energy to make room for what is ready to come forward. It’s a powerful approach to self-exploration and personal empowerment. Each person uses their breath and the music in the room to enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness to increase self awareness.

First Session: Letting go of what’s keeping you stuck or no longer serving you by burning up limiting beliefs, mindset blocks and self limiting behaviors.

Second Session: Calling in your personal power by igniting your intention and setting it in motion.

Third Session: Rising up into the human you wish to be and shining your inner flame outwards.

- ​ Yin Yoga and the Quiet Heart Meditation

7:00 to 8:30 PM at your central

Preregister here:
www.yogaoasis.com/yinwithjoe

The Quiet Heart withdraws ones subtle-body/mind deep into the heart.

Yin Yoga is the effort to surrender into deep stretches of the spine and hips. The therapeutic, restorative and enlivening effects on ones joints are incredibly valuable. And yet sometimes the most precious gift in Yin Yoga arrives at the end of each posture: the full body surrender into a 1-minute Co**se Pose. These brief reclined meditations will ease the body/mind naturally into The Quiet Heart.

The Chandogya Upanishad:
​
“Within the body is an abode in the shape of a lotus (the heart), and within that there is a small space. One must search within this space and earnestly desire to know what is there.”

The above is not a metaphor. We will explore and surrender into a Yin Yoga posture; we will recline and feel the soft rebounding waves of energy in a Co**se Pose; we will draw ourselves into the heart
to realize hidden desires,
to release what needs released,
to celebrate our loving spiritual progress,
and to love on our historically unseen and untouched pain-body.

Joe will lead these practices with a steady and patient pace.
There will be time for questions at the end.

This Saturday night with the Infinite Compassion Orchestra!

Enthused to be hosting Dove Crawford for some Ashtanga yoga offerings this summer at yo!

The Power of Consistency. In person or zoom.

Overcome the frustrated feeling that your health & happiness (or any life goals) seem just out of reach. Find your focus, reclaim your power, and overcome distraction by mastering the art of discipline. Regardless of age, level of experience, or level of education- the gifts of yoga come only through consistent practice, without rigidity, severity, force, or fighting with ourselves. You can develop joyful consistency & discipline in life, and it does not have to feel hard. Practice ways to playfully apply the skills you develop on the yoga mat to your purpose & passions in daily life without rigidity or complexity. Experience simplicity even when the world around us seems increasingly complex. Mindfully learn to develop the habits that lead to success in anything you put your mind to. Practice applying the yogic blueprint to your day with your yoga mat as your homebase for the journey.

Each class in this 6-week yoga series is a 90-minute, challenging, led Ashtanga & Hatha practice that reinforces the untapped potential of yogic principles applied one moment at a time, until consistency becomes second nature. Learn how to consistently refocus, recalibrate, & rewrite your self-limiting thoughts through physical asana practice paired with pranayama, mudra, mantra, and meditation.

Join the Infinite Compassion Orchestra for an enchanting evening of Music, Mantra, and Meditation. Saturday evening, June 22nd.

Sign up here:
YogaOasis’s.com/kirtan

Yin Yoga settles us into stillness of mind and body while we therapeutically stress a variety of deep tissue target areas. Chakra Nyasa draws our energy and awareness up and down the spine, piercing each of Tantra’s 7 spiritual centers along the way.
This practice will incorporate variations of Yin Yoga’s 5-min cycles of stretching and pressurizing the body in a way that deeply calms the nervous system and brings a healthy lubrication between the sliding surfaces within all aspects of the body’s interior.

Then, the body finds more comfort in sitting upright and more comfort reclining, and the mind finds more access to its power of imagination. From this point, the subtler practices of yoga proceed. Creative power is inherent within each of us, the power to rise higher and toward “Source,” and the power to lower into our connection with earth and community.
​
This 2-hour workshop will include a small talk and Q&A about Yin Yoga and Chakra Nyasa. However, the most of our time will be spent learning through the practice. Please bring any extra props, blankets, or anything else you may need to assist in sitting comfortably upright, as well as anything you need to help you recline comfortably.

New Moon 🌑 Yoga Nidra ✨ with

Thursday
June 6
7:15-8:30 PM

Join Gaby Colletta for an evening of ritual, intention setting and meditation aligned with the energy of the New Moon. In this workshop, we will explore the ancient practice of subtle body healing and conscious creation in the state of Yoga Nidra.

Yoga Nidra translates to ‘Yogic Sleep’ yet in this state we enter a place of wakeful presence and pure potential.Through meditative inquiry, relaxation and visualization, we not only connect to the innate healing wisdom of our bodies but we tap into our essential nature and discovery pathways to co-create with reality. Through Sankalpa {a heart-led intention}, we sow the seeds for what we call into being.

Research reveals that Yoga Nidra improves stress resilience, supports nervous system regulation and enhances creativity.

The evening will include

A brief introduction to yoga nidra
New moon sankalpa intention setting ritual & journaling
Gentle movement & breathwork to support the nervous system
Guided yoga nidra session with sound bath

Our Yoga Nidra session includes journaling, gentle movement, breathwork and the vibrational sounds of Himalayan singing bowls. Consider this an invitation to relax, receive and tap into your creative capacity for manifestation.

No yoga experience necessary. We’ll begin seated for the first 30 minutes and then drop into deep rest in supported savasana (co**se pose) for a practice. Bring a mat, comfy clothes, a journal and an open mind.

Eligible for 2 hrs Yoga Alliance CE with submission of reflection assignment.
