Exploring the Heart, Replenishing the Soul: Yoga and Reading
With Tawanna Kane
Thursdays, October 2nd – November 20th; 7:15pm –
8:45pm
Learning to love your self requires self-acceptance, time,
and curiosity. Beginning with the path set forth by Sharon
Salzberg in A Heart as Wide as the World, we will
begin to open up to our bodies through yoga and meditation.
Each class will be themed to correlate with a section of
the book, gaining insight and perspective on ourselves through
our weekly practice and reading. The second half of the
course will utilize The Way Forward is With a Broken Heart
by Alice Walker book, embracing and honoring self throughout
the fluctuations of living and beginning to establish a
healing process after suffering through deep relaxation
and rejuvenating postures. During the six weeks, we will
stretch and challenge the body and the mind, widening our
vessel to include and embrace the truth of our bodies and
the truth in our hearts.
Workshop fee: $120, $136 with Yoga Mat

Dive in to the Flow - A Prana
Vinyasa Flow Workshop with live Drumming
With Angie Gentile
Saturday, October 12th; 1:00pm – 4:00pm
In this creative Prana Vinyasa Flow workshop – you
will dive into a breath and rhythm inspired journey-- a
complete spectrum of rhythms from meditative and rejuvenating
to the challenging and empowering. The flow or wave of a
class is created through cycles of effective and creative
sequences (vinyasas) linked together through the breathwave.
Woven into beats from a live drummer, the thinking mind
lets go, allowing the feeling mind (bhava) to dive into
the flow of practice.
If that wasn't groovy enough -- enjoy a deep vivid yoga
nidra - enhancing innate organic rhythms of the body, to
integrate whole transformation of strength and fluidity,
circulation and centering on all levels.
Students of all levels are welcome, however previous yoga
experience is recommended.

Thursday Lecture Series
A Breath of Fresh Air: Using Breath
as a Support in Yoga and Life
With Angie Gentile
Thursday, September 25th; 7:30pm – 9:00pm
Yoga is linked to the breath; life is linked to the
breath. Prana (life force) is linked to the breath.
Breathe to live a whole life! Most of the time in day-to-day
life, we are breathing shallow breaths, not realizing our
capacity to breathe fully. Shallow breathing can lead to
anxiety, physical manifestations of stress (particularly
in the back, neck and shoulders), and potentially contribute
to other health problems.
In this interactive experience, we will dive into the breath.
Students will learn how the breath can help to manage emotions,
promote connection and focus the mind. We will learn and
practice pranayama basic breathing techniques that you can
do at anytime on your own, during periods of stress or during
your yoga practice.
Pranayama (breathing) promotes embodiment leading to a
full radiant life experience and a connection to the source.
We already have everything we need in the breath to change
our mood, energy level, detoxify the system, and focus thoughts!
All just by breathing!
Students of all levels are invited to experience prana
– through the simple experience of breathing fully.
No prior yoga experience required.
This is a free event. Pre-registration is required.
Please register early! evolvewell reserves the right to
cancel a class or workshop when the required minimum enrollment
is not met. Earliest notification will be given and an alternate
choice or a refund will be given.
