Join AYC owners, Kayce Johnson and Wesley Pilcher, for a Pop-Up Yoga Nidra and Sound Bath Class!

Yoga Nidra means "Yogic Sleep." It is a state of consciousness and gently focuses the mind while allowing thought patterns, emotions, sensations, and images to arise and go on. In Yoga Nidra, you leave the waking state, go past the dreaming state, and go to deep sleep yet remain awake. While Yoga Nidra is a state that is very relaxing, it is also used by yogis to purify the Samskaras (the deep impressions that are the driving force behind karma).

This deeply relaxing class will combine the guided meditation of Yoga Nidra with the healing sounds of crystal singing bowls, drums, crystal pyramids, gongs, and other healing instruments. This class is suitable for all-levels and is taught in a reclined position that encourages stillness and brings the practitioner into a meditative state.

Cost: $25

Pop-Up Class at AYC with Kayce Johnson

When: Wednesday, July 18th 7-8:00pm

Cost: $15

 Kayce Johnson holds a Masters Degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Jungian symbolism and Art Therapy, over a 1000hrs of training and teaching in yoga and meditation (Kundalini Yoga, Vinyasa Krama, Yoga Therapy, Yogic Martial Arts, and Thai Massage techniques), over 7 years of working closely with a master hypnotist, and over 15 years of study in herbalism and skincare. Find more about what Kayce offers: www.thebotanicalwheelofhealth.com www.kindfolke.com

In the early stages of Yoga practice, we are purifying the body with postures, breath, lifestyle, and Yogic diet. Think about the nature of the postures we practice and their effect on that part of the torso from the upper abdomen down.

In forward folds, prone backbends and in twists, not only are muscles made more supple and strong, but the internal organs of detoxification and elimination get a little inner massage. Stagnant blood is squeezed out and fresh blood is moved in and around the internal organs as we come in and out of these postures giving them more tone and supporting their better function.

This enhanced functioning of the inner organs increases their capacity to breakdown and assimilate nutrients making the body stronger, and also their capacity to expel metabolic and food wastes and toxins. As wastes are expelled, the body is also supported to become stronger and more vital, and the energy that was once used to process toxins can now be used for living.

Moreover, in working with fuller and more aligned breath patterns during posture practice, and moving in breath coordinated movements, alongside pranayama (breath practices), our nervous system becomes more steady and stronger. We thereby develop greater stress resilience as our whole body-mind-energy system moves into a harmonious alignment.

All this contributes to a body which can keep itself cleaner, freer, clearer and so more vital. Herbs have been used for thousands of years to purifying certain organs in the body. Helping the system to function at a normal compacity. Overall this all will help your health and mental wellbeing.

In this workshop we will address:

-Purification daily through herbs and diet

-Breath work

-Asana - physical practice

The Joint Freeing Series (JFS) is a beginner-level yoga practice that aims to increase the mobility of joints 1. It consists of 21 simple movements that help warm up the joints, starting from the ankles, and proceeds to work on the knees, hips, spine, torso, wrist, elbows, shoulders, and ends with the neck .
The series was formulated by Mukunda Tom Stiles, founder of Structural Yoga Therapy, to help address day-to-day aches and pain in the body due to lack of mobility of the joints and the attached muscles .
The JFS is similar to Pawanmuktasana Series 1, which also involves the movements of the joints and the attached muscles 1. These 21 poses help increase the muscle strength slowly progressing in better range of motion of the joints. They also help free the tensions and emotions blocked or hidden between the joints, relieving one from aches and pain related to the ankles, knees, hips, back, shoulders, wrists, neck, and even fingers and toes .
The series is designed to be a simple mindful practice that can help students discover their own body and its limitations 1. It is extremely beneficial for people with osteoporosis, arthritis, or senior citizens

Transforming our Dragon: Relaxing into the sea of Love and Sacred Relatedness

Saturday, October 28th from 1 pm to 4 pm

at the Arkansas Yoga Collective

Join us at the Arkansas Yoga Collective for an afternoon of BioDynamic guided meditations and silent group healing sessions. In these meditations we will be opening into a sense of our belonging; Mitakuye Oyasin - our sacred relatedness to all beings and things with life.

In the silent group healing sessions we will invite the expression of the Breath of Life to release whatever might be between us and our conscious awareness of our Connection to the Divine and all of Life.

"We really want to Love without holding back, but we are afraid." Tara Brach

When we are identified with or possessed by our wants and our fears, our shame and our anger, we forget who's behind the appearance of the Dragon. It's really a case of misidentification of who we really are. Our meditations and the silent group healing sessions will gently guide us into resting as who we are as the awareness and the aliveness and the love that is our essential nature.

Rose will be leading the sessions.

Throughout the afternoon, Drew will be accompanying Rose through his intuitive application of crystal singing bowls - all of which are aligned with our chakra frequencies.

We have been divinely created, and we are meant to unfold divinely, living from our natural state of the radiance of Love. From this space of our wholeness, the brightness and goodness of our hearts shine through so we can live in a shared heart space and a shared relatedness with all of life.

The world and life itself depend upon this.
