Spiritual Satsang with Vanessa da Silva

12/21/2025

0 Comments

 
FRIDAY JANUARY 16TH
4:30 - 6:30 PM
CONVENES MONTHLY

‘Satsang’, derived from Sanskrit ‘sat’ (truth, reality) and ‘sangha’ (assembly, company, community), refers to a gathering of like-minded seekers engaging in discourse to deepen spiritual understanding and awaken to our true being.  We will sit in a circle, and everyone will be encouraged to participate and speak to the themes and questions we explore.  As we form our circle each person may place an item on a center altar to imbue the space with our intentions and energies, and also so that the item may be charged with the field of consciousness we create as a group.  Vanessa will open introducing the theme and speaking to how the concepts are described and approached in yogic philosophy.  For those unfamiliar with yoga, these themes are universal spiritual teachings and can be applied with any faith or non-secular life.  Then Vanessa will guide the discussion, at times posing questions to the group, and also responding to the thoughts and uncertainties that arise, from her perspective rooted in the wisdom of Ashtanga Yoga.  In the Yoga Sutras written in the third century BC, Patanjali explains the eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga—in Sanskrit ‘astan’  (eight) and ‘anga’ (limb)—as a practical and holistic guide to spiritual growth.  The eight limbs are: Yama (ethics), Niyama (observances), Asana (postures), Pranayama (breath), Pratyahara (sense withdrawal), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (bliss or union).  Our first satsang will explore the idea, “Love is the most powerful force in the Universe,“ and will examine how this relates to Ahimsa, one of the five Yamas.  Each month we will consider another Yama or Niyama, how these principles guide our everyday life in a broad and comprehensive way such that our practice is present in every experience.  In satsang we aim to clarify our own comprehension, and also to create a field of awareness in our group, which will ripple out into the community generating waves of rising vibration.

WITH GAËLLE BRIAN
MONDAYS & WEDNESDAYS
6:00 - 7:30 PM
JANUARY 12, 14, 19, 21, 26, 28 & BEYOND
These sessions offer an hour of dynamic Vinyasa Yoga centered around Sun Salutations and standing postures.  These are active sequences applying effort to overcome any inertia, and move our bodies in new ways to regenerate our inner momentum. This class is intended for participants of all levels, and to ensure that all students may practice as appropriate for their particular capacities and limits, Gaëlle will explain variations and offer personalized guidance.  While Gaëlle does incorporate hands-on adjustments, know that these are optional and communicate if you’d prefer not to receive them.  After our time building up our energies and synching our movements with the breath, we will find rest in an extended half-hour savasana.  As we settle into stillness, Gaëlle will play singing bowls, bells, rattles, and other instruments, creating a coherent soundscape to organize our energy field and support the subtle shifts ignited in our practice.

Yoga for Clarity & Calm

With Sarah Reimer
Wednesdays 10:00 - 11:00 AM
January 7, 14, 21, 28 & beyond

Designed to quiet the mind, soften the body, and reconnect with the breath, this slow flow practice is suitable for all levels and provides a calm and steady reset.  We will begin by taking a few moments to journal, releasing any persistent thoughts or worries, and letting go of the mental clutter we might be carrying.  This will not be a lengthy time to reflect, just a focused pause to acknowledge what’s been occupying our mental space and let it leave through pen to page.  Setting our journals aside, we will center ourselves on the mat and begin with gentle seated postures to warm and ready the body for mindful movement.  Flowing though simple sequences, finding ease in our effort, we will make our way to standing postures to summon our stability, grounding ourselves with presence. Gradually we will wind down to a restful savasana; in stillness our awareness will reside with the breath.  To conclude we will take a brief opportunity to share reflections or questions, making space for support, connection, and community.

Heart Chakra Yoga & Sound Healing

12/2/2025

WITH GAËLLE BRIAN
DECEMBER 15
6:00 - 8:00 PM
This practice aims to open the heart and activate the Anahata chakra.  December can be an emotional month, a time to reflect on what we’ve experienced through the year, and year-end celebrations may evoke nostalgia for earlier times.  This is an opportunity to tap into our emotions, embody our feelings, and invite consciousness to reside in the heart-center, allowing an authentic love and receptivity in our relationships.  We will begin with a brief introduction and some minutes chanting and connecting with intention, then we will move into a dynamic vinyasa yoga practice focused on opening the chest though back-bending.  Gaëlle will offer adjustments, so please communicate if you’d prefer not to receive these.  This sequence is intended for all levels, and Gaëlle will offer instruction with variations to make it accessible.  About half our time will be dedicated to our yoga asana, and half to receiving healing sound vibrations as we rest in our heart-awareness, our essential being, processing our practice and allowing any inner shifts to integrate.
