About Yoga Instruction Leader for the Retreat: 
Amanda DiGiovanna




Amanda began her personal Yoga practice at the age of 12 after her mother
heralded its ability to relieve her scoliosis and sciatica symptoms. The practice
stayed with her ever since helping through life’s trials and tribulations.


While studying to receive her Bachelors degree in Psychology from the
University at Albany she worked three years as an Emergency Medical
Technician for New York State and Medical Assistant at a Cardiovascular
Hospital. She also studied Natural Therapies at Lorenzo De Medici Univeristy in
Florence, Italy. “The most important thing all of my medical study and experience
taught me about good health is prevention. Yoga is a process tediously tweaked
over thousands of years and could not be a more wholesome approach to
prevention; Disease prevention and what I like to call "freak-out prevention".




Yoga asana (physical practice) tones the nervous system so you are not so
apt to "freak-out" over little things. It teaches the body to detoxify, strengthen,
align, relax and most importantly heal itself. Yoga philosophy teaches the
mind the tools it needs to face anything and emerge contented and happy.
Yoga is a specific science, laid out for the student to experiment with step by
step, unlocking an incredible power source latent in the human being. I try to
incorporate all of these elements into my classes so when you step onto your
yoga mat you will be encouraged to have your own personal experience, find
what works for you, and apply it to your life.”


After college graduation the theme of Amanda’s life work remained the same.
She wanted to help people, but its agents shifted slightly. She wanted to help
people prevent health problems, to teach people to find their peace, and how
heal their bodies from the inside out. In 2007 she graduated Sonic Yoga’s
Vinyasa Teacher Certification and began the website www.alotofbeautiful.com.
In 2010 she took the jump and opened Revolution Yoga a nourishing space with
superb instructors, supportive students, lots of smiles, yummy yoga flows and
loads of candles.

Sunday October 9th 3:00 p.m. Fall Restorative Workshop with Eva





It´s started… the days are shorter, the cool, crisp mornings bring with them a sense of new beginnings, a desire to get organized, buckle down and get ourselves back in gear.  The trees no longer look as green as they were just one month ago and the sun decides to sleep in a little while longer each morning. This is the end of summer, and the beginning of a colder, less lazy season. Fall is a time of change and is often the busiest season of the year, when most people must say goodbye to their time of relaxation in the summer and return to their responsibilities and obligations at school and at work. In the transition from summer to fall one can feel easily out of balance. But, the end of summer does not have to signify the end of relaxation. You can rejuvenate and reenergize even in the face of what seems to be endless work. I invite you to join me for a Restorative Yoga/Nidra workshop that will help you feel as relaxed as if it were still the warm summer!


Set in an inspiring atmosphere of glowing candles and filled with gentle, soothing music, I will guide you through a series of restorative yoga poses, delightful stretches, deep relaxation and Yoga Nidra, a simple guided meditation. This restorative workshop will focus on energizing Mooladhara Chakra, the root chakra, which is located at the base of the spine. Mooladhara represents the earth element, our sense of stability, groundedness, sense of survival, security in our personal relationships and finances.

For an added special treat, you will receive gentle hands on attention with the aroma of essential oils. You will leave feeling completely grounded, balanced and relaxed.  Be ready to lose track of time and let go of the outside world! Please dress warmly in comfortable layers: cozy socks, sweats, tank top, light jacket.

The workshop will be held on Sunday Oct. 9th at 3 PM; The fee for participants is $35 or $65 for partners.

Restorative Yoga Workshop for the Holiday Headache 12/12/10

Restorative Yoga Workshop for the Holiday Headache
"Your compassion is incomplete if it does not include yourself."  -Buddah
SUNDAY- 12/12/2010
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
The holiday season is here again. The time of year when we make a bigger effort to connect with family and friends. But with all the holiday events, gift buying, cooking, cleaning and planning it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Giving away so much of our energy and time can leave us feeling depleted. Restorative yoga can recharge your batteries and bring you inner peace. Restorative yoga focuses on relaxing the body in restful poses with the use of several props. The practice restores a sense of deep calm by turning on the nervous system's natural healing mechanisms. It helps to lower heart rate, blood pressure and stimulate the immune system to keep the endocrine system operating healthily. Treat yourself this holiday season with two hours of live ambient music, essential oil aromatherapy, and delicious yummy relaxation. Seva-To serve ourselves is a part of serving others.$35

Your Teacher: Evangeline Houlihan

Stepping into my first yoga class in 2008, I was hooked for life!  I love how the practice makes me feel, physically, mentally and spiritually.  Yoga brought me the experience
of balance and strength but most of all equanimity to my whole being, something that I had to share with others.
 My open and gentle flow classes are both breath centered and a fluid vinyasa of Hatha yoga that is designed to stretch and strengthen the body with a soothing restorative at the end.  The restorative/yoga nidra classes I teach are designed to relax and quiet the mind leaving the student calm, grounded and happy. Using the valuable tools of
yoga, one can burn out the impurities trapped in the physical and emotional body bringing you to a state of oneness.

Evangeline is a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance.She completed the 200 hour teacher training at the Yoga Polarity Center in Malverne, 300 hour teacher training
with Yogiraj, 
Alan Finger, at Ishta Yoga in NYC, and Restorative Teacher Training Level 2 with Jillian Pransky, Director of Restorative Teacher Training for Yoga Works in
NYC.She is certified at the 500 hour level.
Forever a student of yoga, she continues to train in workshops and practice the many different styles of yoga.
