Join us for 90 minutes of Candlelit Yin Yoga with Ilana Lieberman (@ilanalieberman) accompanied by live, acoustic music with Michael Shofi (@michaelshofi) to honor Autumn and prepare for Winter.
Ilana is a group, private, and commercial Yoga Instructor who serves the NYC area via Yin, Restorative, Vinyasa, and Prenatal yoga. She believes that at the heart of yoga is the potential for self discovery and transformation. She especially credits Yin Yoga as a tool for self actualization. Michael is an Astoria based singer-songwriter who maintains a dedicated Yin practice at YUG. Curious about the intersection between music and wellness, Michael reached out to Ilana… which is how this workshop was created. He is so excited to bring his and Ilana’s work to YUG for the second time, after such a well-received Summer session.
This curated sequence of sound and asana offers a unique opportunity to be with what both mind and body have harvested from summer, as well as a space to compassionately let go of what is no longer serving you. By holding each pose for 3-7 minutes, you will work deeply within the intersection between fascia and bone… mind and heart… breath and gravity…
And leave with a profound sense of release.

We hope to see you there. Sign up through the Mindbody app or the link below.

Hosts: Erika Ferrentino & Verónica Labrador Monteiro 

Join us for a unique healing experience that combines the deep, meditative stretches of Yin Yoga with the therapeutic benefits of cupping therapy. This class is designed to help you release tension, improve flexibility, and promote overall wellness.

Yin Yoga focuses on slow, passive stretches that target the deeper connective tissues—ligaments, joints, and fascia. Poses are held for several minutes, allowing for a deep release that increases flexibility, calms the nervous system, and encourages a meditative state. Yin yoga helps balance the body’s energy, enhance joint mobility, and reduce stress.

Cupping Therapy is a traditional, safe, and non-invasive therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction helps to increase blood flow to the area, promote relaxation, and reduce muscle tension. Cupping is often used to relieve pain, improve circulation, and promote overall wellness. It works on deep muscle layers, helping to break up fascia adhesions and detoxify the body by enhancing lymphatic drainage. 

Please note that cupping is a therapy that may leave marks on the skin, but it does not break the skin. The marks are typically circular discolorations that result from the suction created by the cups. These marks are temporary and usually fade within a few days to a week. While the marks may look intense, they are not painful and are considered a normal part of the cupping process. 

Benefits of this Class:

• Improved flexibility and joint mobility

• Deep relaxation and stress relief

• Reduced muscle tension and chronic pain

• Enhanced circulation and detoxification

• A balanced body-mind connection

Whether you’re looking to ease physical discomfort or find deeper mental calm, this class will leave you feeling rejuvenated, relaxed, and restored.

All are welcome.

Price: $30, early bird $25 until 10/21

Yoga and Ayurveda: Balancing Vata for the Seasonal Transition

In this class, we’ll explore Ayurveda, an ancient wellness system from India that focuses on keeping balance in the body and mind. We’ll focus on a type of energy called Vata, which is connected to air and movement in the body. During seasonal changes, Vata can become imbalanced, making us feel restless, dry, or ungrounded.

Through a gentle yoga practice, calming breathwork, and grounding poses, we’ll aim to help you feel more stable, relaxed, and in tune with the transitions of this time of year. We’ll also introduce the basics of Ayurveda so you can learn how to apply these principles to your daily life.

This class is designed for everyone, with no prior knowledge required. Come and enjoy a full wellness experience! It is being offered one time at no cost, and we hope to hear your feedback.

Join Coreen Ruiz and Verónica Labrador Monteiro in this summer workshop to embrace the abundance of summer and cultivate a deeper sense of peace, joy, and well-being. Step into the radiant embrace of summer and embark on a soul-nourishing journey of renewal and healing. Summer, the season of abundance and vitality, invites us to bask in the warmth of the sun and embrace the fullness of life. It is a time of expansion, growth, and inner exploration. 

This transformative workshop blends the restorative practices of yoga with the gentle energy healing of Reiki to create a sacred space for profound rejuvenation and self-discovery. Restorative yoga is a gentle form of yoga that focuses on deep relaxation to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, often referred to as the “rest and digest” system, which induces a state of deep relaxation and promotes healing in the body. Allow yourself to surrender to the present moment, releasing tension and inviting deep relaxation into every fiber of your being. Through the gentle touch and subtle energy work of Reiki, you will experience a profound sense of balance and harmony, as stagnant energy is cleared and life force energy flows freely throughout your body. 

Let the warmth of summer envelop you as you rediscover your inner light and reclaim your sense of wholeness and vitality. This workshop offers a sacred sanctuary where you can replenish your spirit, awaken your senses, and embrace the transformative power of summer's embrace.

KAP Kundalini Activation Process

KAP is a direct energy transmission that activates the Kundalini awakening process. Spontaneous movements can and does arise. Some consider it a cathartic experience or something that gives them deep insights or realizations. But these are just some of the side effects that can and do happen.

A profound rewiring of the brain structure and central nervous system happens with continued exposure. Every "symptom" or sign of a kundalini awakening, from the earliest signs to the later and manifestations, are seen regularly in participants.

What happens during the transmission

You lie down on a yoga mat. Some music is played. The facilitator will touch or point at different chakra/meridian points on your body. That's what happens on the outside. What happens on the inside is a totally different story.

Preparation

It is suggested to refrain from consuming alcohol, meat and to eat light at least a few hours prior to the session.

The session

Welcome and brief intro.

You lie down, close your eyes and the music starts.

Join Verónica Labrador Monteiro for a  myofascial release workshop. In this workshop, participants will use pinky balls to learn self-massage techniques. Through the use of small pinky balls, practitioners will discover how to effectively target and release tension in their muscles and fascia. 

Each participant will receive 2 pinky balls to use during workshop and to take home for continued practice. 

What is fascia? Fascia is a type of connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, organs, and other structures in the body. It is a continuous web-like network that provides structure, stability, and support to the body. Fascia also plays a role in transmitting force, reducing friction between tissues, and facilitating movement.

By applying pressure to these areas using tools like pinky balls, individuals can release tightness, improve circulation, and promote relaxation in the fascia.

Benefits of this type of massage include:

Improved flexibility and range of motion: By releasing tightness in the muscles and fascia, individuals can experience increased flexibility and better movement patterns.

Pain relief: Myofascial release can help alleviate muscle soreness, tension headaches, and chronic pain conditions.

Stress reduction: The act of self-massage can be relaxing and calming, helping to reduce stress levels and promote overall well-being.

Better posture: By releasing tight areas and improving muscle function, participants may notice an improvement in their posture and alignment.

Enhanced athletic performance: Myofascial release can aid in muscle recovery, prevent injuries, and enhance athletic performance by promoting proper muscle function.

This workshop is designed to empower individuals to take control of their own self-care routines and experience the benefits of myofascial release through the use of pinky balls.

Meridians are energetic pathways that run through connective tissue in our bodies, just below the surface of the skin. Acupressure points are access points that can help with relieving stress and moving stagnation along a meridian. Through movement and awareness, by practicing asana and acupressure, we can shift towards internal consciousness and change our relationship to our stress. In this workshop, you will be guided through a yoga sequence that will target a specific meridian pairing and learn key acupressure points to practice on each other. Our focus will be on the side body pathway that affects the hips and general body tension.

By following the principles of yoga you can learn about yourself, become more flexible, and get stronger. Meditation is like having a wise teacher who helps you find peace in the present moment. Conscious breathing, on the other hand, connects the chaos outside to the safety inside.
By doing these things, you can turn your worry into a growth spurt and a way to find out more about yourself. The inner world is colored in peaceful colors, and the mind's vast landscapes are traversed with grace and awareness. This eventually gets rid of anxiety and lets serenity shine as life's masterpiece.
