Restorative Yoga ~ Deep Relaxation
Nov 23 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Primal Studios

✨ Relax + Release into Total Reset.✨Join Instructor Ami Lee for Restorative Yoga, Fridays at 12pm at Primal Studios. ?

Restorative Yoga is the use of props to support the body in positions of ease and comfort to facilitate relaxation and health.

In this class, we will settle into supported floor poses while releasing tension, gently breathing, and allowing gravity to draw us towards the steadiness of the earth underneath.

Restorative yoga poses manipulate our nervous system in such a way that reduces the influence of our activating systems (sympathetic) and increases the efforts of our quieting systems (parasympathetic) so that we may take rest. All of the organ systems in the body are benefited during deep relaxation.?‍♀️?

➳ 60 minute class – All levels welcome✨ ✨ ✨

➳ $12 drop in/ Pre-register on Mindbody app- Primal Studios to reserve your space + speed up the sign in process!

➳ Bring a mat or we have Buti Yoga B-aligned mats for your use!

➳ Our Studio is in the same building as Tribe Dance & Pole at 457 N. Louisiana Ave. in West Asheville.

? Ami Adkison received her 200 RYT from Asheville Yoga Center, specializing in Yin, Flow, and Restorative yoga. Yoga found her as a teenager and has become a way of balancing stress and anxiety in everyday life. She customizes a complete spiritual and physical experience for the mind, body, and soul that will bring you out of your head and into your body.

✨ Primal Studios is a Yoga/Buti Yoga/Movement studio that inspires you to move outside your comfort zone, and connect & thrive in the community as we evolve together! Visit us at 457 N. Louisiana Ave. in West Asheville. ✨primalstudiosasheville.com ✨

Peanut Butter Chocolate Stout Release
Nov 23 @ 2:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Catawba Brewing Company

The result is a decadent liquid dessert that’s like a peanut butter cup in a glass – a worthy conclusion to the season, replenishing depleted peanut beer supplies through the colder months and offering sustenance until PB&J returns in the spring.

Live Music: The Snozzberries
Nov 23 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
New Belgium Brewing

What are The Snozzberries? Swirling psychedelia, funk and fusion in lively whirlwind of sonic pleasure, The Snozzberries are Asheville’s freakiest musical pioneers. This high-energy powerhouse channels the head-bobbing grooves of Vulfpeck, the oddity of Primus, and the intensity of Umphrey’s McGee. Since their formation in fall of 2017, The Snozzberries have been building their name as the Southeast’s most electrifying live band. Their infectious grooves have been unavoidable for Asheville concert goers, who caught them headlining the Asheville Music Hall, opening for The Werks, and hosting night one of the Disco Biscuits after-parties. In recent months, The Snozzberries have expanded into Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, and Georgia to much acclaim. Come join the party where the jams are fresh and the vibes are dialed in just right. Can’t figure it out yet? Here’s a hint: The Snozzberries Taste Like Snozzberries!
