yoga + music with Leah Shaw and Isabelle Atallah

Leah_Isabelle_01_26_20.jpg

Please join Isabelle and Leah for a live music and yoga experience this Sunday Jan 26th at 7 pm! The Flow and Restore class includes some active sequences and ends with relaxing restorative poses.

Leah Shaw is a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and film composer whose music blends intimate vocals with acoustic folk and ambient electronic elements. Shaw has released two EPs and several singles. Her full-length album Play Beautifully, a sonic exploration of loss, healing and self-transformation, debuts this year. From an early age, Shaw studied classical music and sang in the church where she learned music arranging and improvisation. Encouraged by her mother, Shaw's biggest fan and a musician also, Shaw went on to study orchestral music in college, and though she had aspirations of creating her own music she was discouraged from pursuing them due to the music industry's tumultuous state, and upon graduating Shaw left music behind. However, two years later Shaw's mother was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, and Shaw returned home to help care for her. She found work at a local winery, and when they needed a house band, Shaw stepped in, then turned to songwriting as a way to cope with her mother's illness. Shaw relocated to New York City in 2012 to pursue her music. She began busking in the subway, then graduated to above ground venues, touring along the East Coast and releasing two EPs. In 2016, her mother passed away, and Shaw returned to graduate school to study music production and film scoring. There, she teamed up with producer Teo Blake to create her debut full-length album, Play Beautifully, dedicated to her mother's memory.

Isabelle Atallah is a world citizen. She spent most of her life in Lagos, Nigeria and Beirut, Lebanon. She is of Indian and Lebanese decent. She came to New York to complete her Bachelors in Biology at Long Island University. Her style is playful. Isabelle embraces the inner child within us – wide eyed and curious, and without inhibitions. She creates a nurturing and encouraging environment. She encourages her students to bring their individuality to the room. She received her 200hour Teacher Training from Abhaya Yoga


If you are looking for an enjoyable way to spend an hour or so of your Sunday evening, this would be the place to be. You will leave the studio buzzing on good vibes and we invite you to share a glass of wine and a cube of cheese with us afterward, in Sanskrit we would call this “sangha”.

OM Chanting with Jen Perena

om_chanting_text.jpg
 

Join us for a special OM Chanting event here at Unit 108 Yoga, on Sunday, May 5, at 12:30 pm! OM Chanting Organizer Jen Perena will be with us to lead a 45-min session to cultivate peace and harmony in ourselves and the surrounding environment.

WHAT IS IT? 
OM Chanting is a group practice that uses the transformational power of the mantra OM to activate the self-healing potential of everyone who participates. We sit in a specially arranged circle and chant OM out loud for 45 min. Due to a special blessing, OM Chanting generates a vibrational frequency that releases negativity, transforms it and showers us with positive energy.

EXTRAORDINARY BENEFITS: OM Chanting promotes inner peace, mental clarity, creativity, emotional freedom and physical health. It brings like-minded people together and supports our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. It brings more balance and peace to our communities and to the world at large as well, so by participating at OM Chantings you contribute to a better you and a better world!

The vibrational waves created by the circle spread out in a large radius creating a harmonious, peaceful environment and a unity between humans and nature. The OM continues to resonate in everyone who has participated even after the circle, allowing us to share the good vibrations wherever we go.

POSITIVE SHIFTS: OM chanting helps us to experience positive shifts which allow us to enjoy more peace, joy and love in our lives.

OPEN TO EVERYONE: No previous experience is required. OM Chanting is not a faith-based practice, but all faiths are welcomed, as well as those who have no interest in spirituality. The only requirement is that you must be able to sit (either on the floor or in a chair) and repeatedly chant OM (at your own pace) for the entire circle time (45 minutes).

WHAT TO BRING: For the duration of the circle we sit either on a chair or on a bolster and blankets. All this is provided at the studio. It is recommended to dress in loose, comfortable clothes.

You don’t have to sign up in advance but you can - here:

Daniele Gates

Join us for a meditation and yin yoga workshop. One of the quickest ways to enlightenment is to visualize yourself awakening, and in our world, most of the images we see of yogic and meditation practitioners are masculine. Women practitioners have seemingly fewer heroines to emulate. At the same time, many teachers will remind us that women are superior practitioners. Join us for a meditation and Yin Yoga workshop where we will delve deeply into the meaning of women’s history month, international women’s day, and a new moon. This workshop will include:

A visualization mediation.
A new moon intention-setting circle.
A yin yoga practice.

This workshop is donation based (suggested $15 but you can donate anything from $3 to $108) . If you donate $24 and more you can also take a free yoga or pilates class at the studio at any point in the future.


Grace O'Keeffe is a public NYC high school educator, certified yoga teacher, and Breathe for Change Yoga Training Meditation Trainer. Grace has been studying meditation for over 25 years in academia and has practiced daily for over four years in Vajrayāna Buddhism.
