What on this menu appeals to you?

Can you feel it? That subtle shift in the air, the way the light is changing ever so slightly. We're in a colorful recalibration, moving from summer’s outward energy and play into autumn's quiet call to conserve.

The Season of Stillness: A Guide to Turning Inward

Nature is inviting us to ‘Listen to Our Inner Whispers This Autumn’
Just as the leaves begin to turn and the earth draws its energy inward, we get a clear call from nature to do the same, and what better place for this than Assisi Yoga?
Harmony is waiting for you this season. They invite you to slow down, to listen more deeply to that quiet inner guidance here to support your more balanced life.
So, as the days grow shorter, pls take a look at the longer video to see if one or more of our offers resonates with what your own inner compass is telling you to do.
Namaste!

Sanskrit class �
We will go over the pronunciation of a few mantras that we love at Assisi The Sāvitrī Gāyatrī, Om Śri Gurubhyo Namaha and the pronunciation of what we will chant in kīrtan.

Kirtan
We will practice devotional chanting in a call-and-response format.
Kirtan is a devotional singing practice using the authentic voice in a non-performative space. We sing a Sanskrit mantra, and the group repeats the mantra. This is an excellent way to learn the proper pronunciation of mantras and feel them grounded in your body. This is truly a yoga practice because we are aligning with the energy that we are currently experiencing and opening to the flow of the energy of the mantra in the world around us. Kirtan events with Marla tend to be a deep inner experience of moving old mental and emotional sludge and feeling renewed and energized afterwards.

Please join Lori Lefkowitz for a class dedicated to the power of mindfulness. We will explore strategies to learn to connect with our bodies and breath while also incorporating movement into class. Participants should wear comfortable clothing. Chairs will be available, and all are welcome. Can’t wait to meet you. “I’m not usually someone who meditates, so I was eager to gain some insight into the foundations and techniques of meditation. Lori Lefkowitz’s class at Assisi this past weekend was exactly what I was looking for. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease. Lori created a welcoming and comfortable space with tea, light snacks, blankets, bolsters, and yoga mats, which made me feel open to learning. It was clear that Lori has a natural gift for teaching—her experience shone through in the way she led the class with professionalism and grace. The session included a variety of meditation exercises, from breathing techniques to walking meditations, to poetry and even a short book reading. Thanks to Lori, I’m now inspired to explore the road of meditation further. Thank you, Lori, for leading me on this journey!” Bruce “ Lori leads this class with softness and awareness of the subtle needs of attendees. Offering and sharing with us, even after the class, a variety of ways to be mindful and nurturing to ourselves at home. I know myself I always take home what is needed for my own practice from Lori’s teachings. Lori offers wonderful gifts with her teachings to her community and it is a pleasure to share space with her and others in the Assisi community.” DJ https://youtube.com/shorts/3xqpenJ3RIM

The next class is on Monday, 9/15!!
"Come as you are — tired, tender, curious, or calm.
No matter what the weather brings outside, this is a place to land and soften inside. We’ll move slowly, rest deeply, and let sound carry us into stillness. I’d love to see you there." Lisa
