Alight Yoga Ayurveda Adventure

Whenever the world feels overwhelming, I find myself overwhelmingly grateful to gather... to be in community, to practice, and to support one another as we attempt to regulate our nervous systems.

And — whether because our prana is flowing from moving and breathing or our cells are vibrating from sound and music — we hold space for one another to heal, to grow, and to just be. 🥰

Along those lines, I’m excited to share with you that I’ve started offering Sound Baths. As a lifelong musician, it was only a matter of time... and my first few went beautifully!

Please join me this Thursday, 7-8pm at Moon Wolf, for the relaxing sounds of my harmonium, crystal bowls, and even my trusty rusty clarinet. 😁

(Not at all joking! I played that thing long past middle school — even in a folk-rock band in my 20’s — and its reedy tones are sooo soothing!)

But first, tomorrow night, come on out to Urban District Market for an Intro to Ayurveda! 👀

I’ve been collaborating with SkillPop since early on in the pandemic to offer Meditation & Mindful Breathing, but this is our first foray into Ayurveda together. Just in time for the pollen! 😅

Ayurveda can help... with springtime symptoms and so much more.

And what a fun place to gather and learn.

Tune into the flow of your breath and let it guide you on a journey through your inner landscape! 🧘‍♀️

Join Allison Modafferi, Alight Yoga owner + Yoga & Ayurveda teacher, as she covers the mechanics of breath and shares how mindful breathing can be a bridge to meditation. She’ll also share several breathing techniques for stress-relief, centering, and focus with plenty of time for practice and Q+A. By the end of class, you’ll have the tools to employ your breath to steady and ease your mind. 🙏

Meditation is a practice that everyone can do! Like any practice, it becomes easier with consistency. This is a multi-level course with options to support curiosity and discovery in both beginners and experienced practitioners. 🧘

Ahhhhh! I’m still savoring our quick dip into self care and community connection this past Sunday! 🥰

It was a day resplendent with playful yoga practices, nutrient-dense deliciousness, kindness, curiosity, and laughter… the perfect vibe for that spectacularly sunny welcome into March! 😎

One of the main missions of Alight Yoga. Ayurveda. Adventure. is to connect fine folks who help raise the vibrations, just by being who they are and doing what they do… in the yoga world, throughout our local food scene, and in beautiful locations across the globe. 🙌

Our Resonance Day Retreat was a collaboration between Ben of , Julia of , and Allison of .yoga… plus, of course, all the fine folks who showed up!! Everything — from the sourcing of the seeds that grew our food, to our gorgeous meal’s prep and presentation, to the prayers for peace that we breathed, moved, and sang out into the world — resonated with deep intention, thoughtfulness, and care. It’s amazing how good we can feel when we fine tune our instruments in this way. ♥️

5 hours together may have been short and sweet, but the good vibrations are still resounding! 🎶

May everyone everywhere be happy and free. May it be so. May it be so. May it be so. 🙏

Tune Up Time! 🙌

Hello loves. Just a quick note today to remind you to grab your spot in our Resonance Day Retreat this Sunday! (Link in bio!)

It’s truly a half-day retreat:
5 juicy hours of yoga, nourishment, and community... with a sound bath, too! 👏

Join Allison and Chef Julia (of Plant Joy and Nourish fame) for a day of yoga, music, community, and farm-to-table foods — sourced locally, from Garden Window Farm — in the cozy quaintness of the Betty Little House, an urban oasis right on 7th Street, surrounded by the beautiful Charlotte Council of Garden Clubs grounds. ♥️

Get away from it all without going far!

What a fun (and delicious) way to welcome in the Year of the Fire Horse! 😋

Huge thanks to Beverly’s Gourmet Foods for teaching us how to make an amazing nutrient-dense + plant-based meal and to Mecklenburg Market for hosting us! 👏

Happy Lunar New Year, Happy Fat Tuesday + Ash Wednesday, and Ramadan Mubarak!

Love & Blessings to all. ♥️

I’m still reveling in the recent declarations of love that have been slicing through the darkness of these times. Love IS stronger than hate and that’s a vibration I want to keep resonating with within, as well as sending back out there. ♥️

Speaking of RESONANCE, I’ve got a wonderful offering for you!

This radiant being is my friend Chef Julia of Plant Joy and I’m so excited to partner with her again to treat you to a decadent, delicious, delightful Sunday at our upcoming Resonance Day Retreat... on 3/1, here in Charlotte. 👏

I hope you’ll join us! Our last retreat here (spring of 2024) sold out quickly and was such a special day. Let’s gather and raise the resonance together! ♥️

What a month! We had a wonderful 14th annual New Year (R)evolution. 👏 I haven’t posted much about it yet, due to weather/world whiplash, but I’ll share more soon, as we journey further into the year together.

We’ve hosted Cooking Classes and Celebration Dinners with the New Year (R)evolution for years and they’re so much fun! This year, we’ll be offering more opportunities to gather in community... to learn, to connect, and to raise the bar on our indulgences, together. 🙌
