REVOLUTION COMMUNITY YOGA + FITNESS WORKSHOP

Yoga & Acupressure: Expanding Into Summer
Saturday, July 19th @ 4 – 6pm
w/ Erica Taylor at Revolution Community Yoga in the Mass. Ave. Level Studio
$35 Early Registration / $45 registration after July 17th, 2025
{REGISTER}

This workshop will combine gentle yoga, acupressure, myofascial release techniques and yoga nidra to balance our bodies for the Summer season.   

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we have reached the element of Fire, the time of Summer.  After the gentle awakening of Spring, this is the most yang and expansive of seasons, a time for growth, joy and connecting with the heart.  In this workshop, we will explore the principles of Chinese Medicine and Five Element Theory.  We will learn how acupressure works, how to hold acupoints, and how Chinese Medicine relates to yoga.  After a potent discussion, we will open our bodies with a mindful yoga practice, balance the energy pathways of summer with acupressure points and myofascial release techniques, and end with a long guided relaxation to integrate the effects of your practice.  

Prepare to unwind, have some aha’s, and feel empowered to support yourself in this most expansive of seasons!

This dinner is the first of a series in a project being pursued by our Chef Jon Gilman, the Feast Revival Project.  The goal of this project is to increase community engagement and discourse by promoting the revival of feasts: gatherings centered around seasonal food meant to create a communal setting that societies have depended on for centuries to facilitate social discourse. It will involve a delicious spread of food served family style in your group, along with a curated fun conversation from our guest speaker.  

For this dinner, we welcome Steve Verrill and the Verrill family to talk to us about local farming, the role they’ve played in the local community, how to eat locally in seasonal New England and other fun stories for the farm. Reserve Your Seat Now!

KIRTAN: Jaya Madhava Das • Govinda Sky Kirtan

Pre-registration is free and necessary to reserve your spot. A donation basket for the group will be available at the event – any size donation is greatly appreciated! Join Jaya Madhava Das for an evening of Kirtan at Revolution Community Yoga! Jaya Madhava Das (aka James Cennamo) has been involved with Kirtan since 1993. In 2006, he founded Govinda Sky, a transcendental music group that has played at various studios around New England. You can stream Govinda Sky’s music.

Kirtan is a call-and-response form of chanting mainly composed of Sanskrit mantras. When chanting these mantras, we call out to the Divine. Mantra is a Sanskrit word composed of two sounds: “man” means mind, and “tra” means to cross over or protect. Kirtan means “to speak of” or “to mention”. The world is sound. All that is manifest proceeds from sound and continues to pulsate as sound vibration. There are no hard and fast rules for chanting! If you feel like chanting, go ahead. If not, enjoy the chanting. This is community chanting, an opportunity to be together in community and have fun.

ILLUMINATED BIRTH & CO EVENT

Coming up at Illuminated Birth & Co: A Sound Bath with Lauren Vingiano (@thesoundbathqueen)

What is a sound bath?
A sound bath is a meditative experience where participants are immersed in sound frequencies created by various instruments, such as singing bowls, drums and chimes. The sounds are intended to promote physical, mental and emotional well-being. It’s called a bath because you are “bathed” in the sound waves and energetic frequencies that bring your mind and body back into balance and harmony. 

All are welcome—a lot of programming at IB & Co is for expecting and new families, but this is for anyone looking to treat themselves to a relaxing, meditative experience.

Please register ahead of time at https://www.illuminatedbirth.com/sound-bath
