Winter Solstice Restorative Yoga Event 2024
Begin again and turn your dark thoughts to the light. Since prehistory, the winter solstice has been a significant time of year in many cultures and has been marked by festivals and rituals. It marked the symbolic death and rebirth of the Sun; the gradual waning of daylight hours is reversed and begins to grow again.
Join us for this magical event with fire, music, asana & meditation to honor the true Self.
Yoga History with Sofi Dillof | Jivamukti Teacher
The Yogasūtras of Patañjali is the earliest known surviving text systemization of the philosophy and practice of yoga. The Yogasūtras contain 194 sūtras, or aphorisms, which describe the goal of yoga (according to this text) the obstacles to attaining yoga, and the path to overcoming these obstacles.
In this three and a half-hour discussion-based workshop, you will explore the key concepts that comprise the underlying philosophy of the Yogasūtras and have an opportunity to practice some of the techniques given.
Bring your open, curious mind and enjoy exploring these teachings together in a supportive community.
Sofi Dillof is a yogic scholar, long-time teacher, and forever student who has dedicated herself to studying traditional yogic texts.
Give Bliss a Chance
Together we will journey deep into your inner BEing with your guides, Annie Chapman, Marlisa McLaughlin, & Shakti Ma.
We look forward to weaving all these modalities together & bringing bliss into your life.

Thanks to all of you who are able to donate when taking class, we are doing okay. I am grateful. If you, like me, are concerned, practice, practice, practice. Don’t worry about donating here, practice. I just want you grounded and at ease through the practice of yoga and mediation. It’s helping.

Harvest Moon Yoga & Meditation
2nd Annual Harvest Moon Yoga & Meditation to Benefit Meadowbrook Waldorf School, Meadowbrook Rising. Meadowbrook is close to my heart as all four of my children grew up in the arms and hearts of this community. In July 2018, our school in Richmond, RI was struck by lightning and caught fire. The building and most of its contents were completely lost, but the community remained strong.
Three Meadowbrook Moms joined together in grief and decided we could help rebuild by creating a fundraising event to bring yoga & meditation to our entire community as a benefit to Meadowbrook.
This exclusive event is held at the privately owned post & beam barn and organic gardens in Avondale, RI. The Chapman-Pendleton Farm. “Really good” Wine & Harvest Platters will be served as we gather to watch the Harvest Moon Rise, tour the gardens, and gaze at the architectural beauty of the restored barn after meditation.
This event is not to be missed as the grounds are private and not open to the public.
Parking is available on the road, look for volunteers for guidance. Arrive early to see the magnificent gardens, sheep, orchards, bees, chickens, and barn.
6 pm Yoga led by Annie Chapman
7 pm Méditation led by Nicole Zaloumis O'Reilly
7:30 pm Wine and Harvest Platters under the Full Moon
$50 suggested donation.
Tickets available in advance at Eventbrite.
