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!

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

REVOLUTION COMMUNITY YOGA WORKSHOP

Spilling the Tea on Anxiety
Practices to Soothe Anxious Thoughts & Build Resilience
Facilitated by Diana Harris
Saturday, March 29th @ 3 – 5:15pm in the Lower Studio Waterfall Room
$50 Early-Bird Registration / $60 day of event
Min. 8 to run / Max. 16

Everyone deals with feelings of anxiety and depression occasionally. Anxiety has the uncanny ability to convince us that we are the only person that experiences anxiousness and trepidation. Each of us have been affected by anxiety at some point, whether in response to a real threat or a perceived one. In fact, humans are hard-wired to want to flee when they are frightened. That trait has probably kept us out of harm’s way and alive for a millennium.

Many of us are grappling with personal challenges, work imbalances, uncertainty about the future, or the stress of current events. Medical science confirms that stress and anxiety can take a toll on our wellbeing, relationships, and happiness. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or know someone who is – this workshop will provide essential stress management strategies to help you or those you love to regain control of your thoughts and emotions. My approach to managing anxiety is holistic. The goal is to help restore harmony to the mind, body, and spirit to bring the individual back to the “present moment.” We will explore practices to identify and manage triggers, alleviate stress, discharge excess energy, build emotional resilience, soothe the nervous system, and increase overall well-being. Join us for this informative evening and reclaim your peace. Pre-registration is required. Contact: info@YogaActon.com or 978-274-5596.

$25 Early registration / $35 day of workshop
{REGISTER}

Join RYC in a safe space of community and friendship to experience the power of Energy Medicine Yoga®. EMYoga is a synthesis of Yoga and Eden Eden Energy Medicine® — a union of two time-honored traditions to access the innate wisdom of the body and activate the body’s natural healing intelligence. EMYoga combines ancient techniques with modern tools to balance all nine of the energy systems, including the Aura, the Meridians, the Chakras, the Five Elements, and the Celtic Weave. By focusing on the body as a living system of energy, we begin to uncover our ability to communicate with the body in its own language, empowering us to effectively ground and to come back into balance and flow — radiant, whole, and at peace.

This introductory workshop will be an integrative practice that includes classic yoga postures, interwoven with EMYoga techniques, breathwork, meditation, and crystal bowl sound immersion, as well as some light journaling. You will also learn a three-minute, simple routine that you can undertake daily to activate and repattern your energies so they are working in your favor.

When we experience stress, we hold our breath and lock the imprint of that stress in our body. That stress and tension can last for years eventually turning into injury and illness. This workshop will gently guide you into deep breathing and meditative practices that will support you in moving that stuck energy to free up a more expanded state of mind. Learn the mechanisms of breath and healing so that you can use breathwork to deepen your meditative experiences. Gain simple practices that you can insert in your day-to-day for quick pick-me-ups or moments of centering.

SPECIAL WORKSHOP @ ILLUMINATED BIRTH & CO

The Spinning Babies Guided Parent Class highlights your baby’s active role in birth. During labor, the baby needs to pass through the three levels of the pelvis.
