About Mitzy:
Mitzy Clementina is an initiated lineage carrier of her Andean ancestry.
Her mentors and teachers are from various South American ancestral traditions including the Kallawaya, Q’ero, and Kichwa.
She believes the wisdom of ancestral traditions was preserved for all of these centuries so that it could be available to us today. She serves in indigenous spaces where many are uniting through shared prophecies signaling these times as a critical juncture of our human existence needing this wisdom for our balance and survival.
Thus, her work focuses on the principles of the Andean cosmovision, coupled with ritual and ceremony to transform wounds into instruments of power. She is dedicated to helping others break free from the stories that hold them hostage to live in their most authentic spiritual identity.
Ancestral wisdom speaks the language of who we already are and endures today because of this.

Choosing Your Price
When you register for a workshop, you can choose from one of three price options.

Top range: The highest option for the workshop reflects the true cost of the service—that is, the price that a studio without a sliding scale would charge to cover expenses and pay teachers appropriately. Please note: This price is not paying “extra”; it’s the fair market value for the class or service.

We recommend paying this price if: you are financially secure, have personal savings, or own property. You would pay for a similar experience at this price point elsewhere without worrying about how it would impact your ability to spend money on other things.

Middle range: The middle option for a workshop is a discounted price that does not fully cover the costs of running the class or service.

We recommend paying this price if: you have access to steady income and your basic needs are met, but are working to pay off debt or build savings. While paying for this class might mean you have to cut back on things like going out to dinner or buying new clothes, it won’t harm you in the long term.

Lower range: The lowest price for a workshop is a further discounted price that does not cover the costs of running the class or service.

We recommend paying this price if: you have access to basic needs, but your financial situation feels tenuous. You would have to save up for many months to be able to afford a higher price point.
Please note: We are committed to welcoming all members of our community to our studio. If the lowest price is still out of reach for you, please email gabrielle@pawlingyogawellness.org.

Family Yoga: For kids and their grown-ups! with Michelle Pellegrinelli, RYT
2026-04-26 11:00 - 12:00
A family yoga workshop for parents, caregivers, siblings and grandparents.
For families with children 3 years and older.
Come move, stretch, and play together in this fun family yoga session. Family yoga encourages
connection, teamwork, and mindfulness while helping everyone build strength, flexibility, and
relaxation skills. It’s a joyful way to increase bonding, laugh, and create memories—on and off
the mat! No yoga experience needed.

About Michelle:
I discovered yoga during my years living in Spain, where I explored the practice and developed a deep appreciation for its ability to create balance and calm. It wasn’t until 2022, after moving back to the States, that I truly fell in love with yoga as a transformative way of life.

Encouraged by the physical, mental, and spiritual growth yoga brought to my life, I completed my teacher training with the inspiring Gabrielle Semel in 2024. This journey deepened not only my knowledge of yoga but also my gratitude for the vibrant and welcoming community I’ve found here in Pawling.
Teaching yoga has become a way for me to give back to the community I cherish so much. I aim to create a space where everyone feels supported, connected, and empowered to explore their own practice—on and off the mat.

Men's Circle, First Fridays
2026-05-01 18:30 - 20:00
This Circle is a place where men can gather as brothers and provide support for those who desire to act on their individual and shared responsibility for the future of humankind by initiating and supporting other men on a path of emotional maturity, spiritual awareness, while deepening community.

We will gather each month on the first Friday of each month.
We envision men gathering in the safe space and finding support in their pursuit of personal authenticity and accountability. We will gather monthly to listen and to share our stories in community and, perhaps find inspiration and gain strength by listening to the stories of others. May we find strength in brotherhood and our pursuit of the shared commitment to nurturing one another, our families, our communities, and the planet earth.

This is a Pay What You Can service offered the first Friday of each month.

All are welcome.

Monthly Yoga Nidra, Second Fridays with Danielle Riccardi, RYT
2026-05-08 16:30 - 17:30
Yoga Nidra, often called yogic sleep, is a guided practice that supports deep rest, relaxation, and inner balance. Unlike traditional meditation, Yoga Nidra invites you into a state of effortless awareness while the body fully rests. Rooted in the yogic tradition of turning the senses inward, this practice offers a gentle journey toward calm and renewal.
Class begins with light, accessible movement to help release tension, followed by an extended, supported savasana for the Yoga Nidra practice. No experience is necessary—just come as you are and allow yourself to rest.

Women's Circle, Second Fridays
2026-05-08 18:30 - 20:00
Come join us for a welcoming, intentional gathering each month—a supportive evening of connection, reflection, and community.

These circles are a space to slow down, step away from the demands of daily life, and reconnect with yourself in the company of other women.

Through gentle grounding practices, thoughtful prompts, and shared conversation, we create space to slow down and come home to ourselves. No prior experience is needed. Come as you are.

Write Your Heart Out
2026-05-24 13:00 - 15:30
Poetry as a practice for connecting with your emotional body, moving energy and remembering
Join Danielle Riccardi and Jay Erickson, two local semi-pro published writers for a workshop designed to unleash your inner poet and explore memory. On this Memorial Day weekend, we will move through a practice of gathering, weaving and adorning memory as we move towards wholeness through the yoga of re-membering.
We will use an adaption of the “Journal Ladder” process to start simple and small and build to an expression that allows for writing to be a release, healing, insight, or sense-making.
We will explore the yoga of poetry and how a poem, like a physical form, can constellate and contain a certain shape of energy or memory and how the music and imagery and vast permission of poetry is nothing to fear or avert but a vast playground and dancefloor for all those who have language.
No experience is necessary—this workshop is open to complete beginners, curious writers, and experienced poets alike. Come as you are and leave with new ideas, new writing, and a fresh way of looking at memory in poetry.
Consider bringing comfortable clothes. And alliteration (or a dash of sibilance).

Somatic Release Breathwork with Julia Zern, Somatic Release Breathwork™ Practitioner , ERYT 500
2026-06-14 16:00 - 17:30
Somatic Release Breathwork™ is a healing practice to release trauma, stress and tension that has been stored in the body. Through guided breath patterns, NLP ( Neuro Linguistic Programming ) and co-regulation of your nervous system this modality is self-healing on a deep subconscious level. In this practice we access the sympathetic nervous system to allow what’s been stuck in the body to be expressed and moved out and invite in new more useful patterns. The session is done laying down with eyes closed and is set to music.
Somatic Release Breathwork™ often inspires insights on what’s been keeping you stuck and creates a safe space to release the past and claim your authentic Self.
Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, water bottle and journal for insights, optional eye mask.

A Qigong Practice. The Microcosmic Orbit - Aligning with Summer Solstice
2026-06-18 18:00 - 19:00
An elegant Taoist practice to realign the human body with two of our most powerful celestial allies, the Sun and Moon, while rooting us to our Earthly home. The Microcosmic Orbit, also known as the Small Heavenly Cycle invites opening of our “third eye” expansion of our intuitive, pre-verbal origins for greater insight to our lives.

The practice brings the Sun’s infra-red light up the spinal column, through our seven chakras, it meets with Moon’s silvery blue light on the forehead and other skull points, radiating down the front body, to the pelvis.

The core teaching of this practice grounds us in our humanity, while expanding our Qi field to the
Cosmos. The seven levels of healing it brings to each energetic center of the body makes it a very
complete practice, one that is a marvelous ally for caretakers, parents, healers and seekers in all fields.

This is a standing practice that can also be done from chair. All are welcome.

Nadiya Peters-Nottingham is a Master Qigong Teacher in practice for over 30 years. A former Pawling resident she now lives in Ireland and teaches in Europe and USA. She was made a master teacher by her teacher, Master Liu He of Portland Oregon. www.nadiyapeters.com
