Monday, September 28 7:00-8:00 pm with Gabrielle Semel ERYT 500 Founder Pawling Yoga & Wellness Click the link below to register for The Healing Power of Breath or contact Donald, our Adult Program Coordinator, at adult@pawlinglibrary.org. https://www.pawlingfreelibrary.org/event/the-healing-power-of-breath/2020-09-28/ Just as the ocean’s tides are an expression of the Moon’s gravitational pull, our breath is the expression of the energy that is contained within us. We can watch the shoreline shift throughout the day and know that the rotation of the earth and the tidal forces are at play. Similarly, our breath can show us the energetic quality we are experiencing within the forces around us. Unlike the tidal forces, we have the ability to change a current breathing pattern, and effectively change our response to the forces around us. The mind is in direct relationship with the breath. When the mind is unsettled, so is the breath; and if we can change our breathing, we can change our mind-state. Join Gabrielle for a simple approach to breath direction, a practice that will open up a new way...

The elements of life on Earth are intertwined with ourselves and the beasts of the land, sea, river and air. In other words, we are one with nature. In this workshop we will work with Animal Spirits of both the natural realm and the mythical realm as they relate to where we are working energetically, in the deep reservoir of the Chakras or energy centers of the human body.

Tuesday, October 20
7:00-8:00 pm
Registration is required. You can reserve a space for Ayurveda and Autoimmunity: Treating the Root Cause by registering below or email Donald at adult@pawlinglibrary.org.
Ayurveda considers the root cause of autoimmunity to be improper metabolism which may be triggered by poor diet, digestion, and circulation. Poor diet and weak digestion cause a buildup of toxins that if not properly eliminated, due to poor circulation, create a vicious cycle of inflammation and pain. Ayurveda has natural solutions that reduce painful symptoms and, in many cases, can reverse the autoimmune conditions.
