Please join us as we (in the Northern Hemisphere) celebrate the Spring! The green shoots and floral buds are emerging, and whispers of warmth are on the winds. The sun crosses the earth's equator and for this one day the light and the dark are of equal length. Allison Riegel will lead us in gentle movement accompanied by the live music of Breathing Room. We'll practice an extra long savasana, bathed in healing sound. We will gather from 7:00-9:00pm on Monday, March 20th. Cost of the event is $20 for early and online registration, $25 day of (online and at the desk).

Dinner of Plenty

Sunday, March 19, 2017

5 - 8 pm

North Portland Yoga

Where do our rituals of yoga and eating intersect? How do we embrace the same awareness we invoke on our yoga mats while we consume our food? How might the manner in which we eat affect our journeys of inner healing? Please join us as we return our bodyminds to these potent and evocative questions on the eve of the Vernal Equinox, when the sun is soon to cross the earth's equator, making the day and the night equal in length. Allison will guide us in movement, breathwork, and meditation, after which she will serve a delicious, lovingly prepared dinner. Our meal will be vegetarian and gluten-free, based around organic vegetables and whole grains, and infused with vibrance and intention. We will come together from 5-8pm on Sunday, March 19th. Early registration is required to attend, the cost of the event is $35 until March 5th, $40 after that. We will close registration on the morning of March 18th.

Register here.

Breakfast of Plenty

Thursday, February 9, 2017

9:30 - 11:30 am

North Portland Yoga

Where do our rituals of yoga and eating intersect? How do we embrace the same awareness we invoke on our yoga mats while we consume our food? How might the manner in which we eat affect our journeys of inner healing?

Please join us for an energizing morning yoga practice followed by a nourishing meal shared in community. We will awaken and explore our bodies in asana for the first half of class. After connecting with breath + movement we will gather to enjoy a delicious, savory breakfast. We will have the sweet opportunity to extend and integrate our practice of yoga into the yoga of eating our breakfast together with mindfulness and reverence. This lovingly prepared breakfast will be vegan and gluten-free, based around organic vegetables, whole grains and warming spices, with the optional soft-boiled egg. Allison cooks intuitively, allowing the process of cooking to unfold as a creative language. She selects ingredients with energetic vibrance and infuses her meals with love and intention.

Cost is $35. Due to the nature of food preparation, we request pre-registration for this event in order to attend.
