Yoga on the Eastside: Wellness Wednesdays with Ashley

Ashley Quaine
Ashley answered HM157's call for a Community Yoga instructor almost immediately after we posted about it. We are very excited and grateful that she has decided to volunteer and help us foster a healthy community. We know her presence will bring a lot of positivity and joy to everyone!

She has written a manual for raising conscious children with yoga called "Conscious Child". She has a degree in Dance and Choreography from Bennington College and was certified in 1995 as a Yoga Instructor from the Center for Yoga in Los Angeles, Ashley brings a vast knowledge of breath, alignment and movement to all of her classes. She places emphasis on correct posture to activate the energetic body and cultivate a practice rooted in ecstatic alignment . Ashley’s classes are a combination of creative sequencing, focused breath work and joyful surrender. When she isn't dancing or practicing yoga Ashley plays the ukulele.

Live VJ: The Mystery Machine
The Mystery Machine is a resident artist of HM157 whose passion is for the visual. Every performance is improvised from her vast library of content that includes her own After Effects compositions, found footage, and public domain film clips.
She believes that VJing is an important artistic force that she hopes will be considered a viable art form, just as much as painting, sculpture, or music.
Her goal is to bring the audience closer to the intent of the musician, dancer or performer that she accompanies, and to provide a thematic continuity between the seen and the heard.
The Mystery Machine is available for hire for the following:Events/ShowsCustom ContentPost Production FX and Editing
She also welcomes collaboration with other artists who are interested in the synergy between sound and vision, especially those of the more experimental variety.
We Found a Community Yoga Instructor!
Update August 23: We have found a couple of people who have volunteered to help us with this, as well as a local studio who has donated yoga mats for us! We will begin our Yoga classes in September with Ashley Quaine. Please visit the "Events" page to find when the next one is! Thanks to everyone who got in touch with us!
HM157 is looking for a ball of shining light to provide community Yoga classes. We are specifically interested in Kundalini and Tantra but open to other possibilities.
The main goal and vision is to create a Wellness Wednesday event for our community here in Lincoln Heights, run on donations and open to everyone. We think it would be a wonderful way to provide a service and hold space for possitive possibilties, and show people the benefits of having a regular yoga practice in their lives.
If you are interested in contributing to our artist community here at HM157 and are passionate about helping others slow down, breathe, and connect to their inner self, please fill out our volunteer form here. Compensation will be in love, gratitude, and donations.
New HM157 Website!
We've launched a new site using the NationBuilder platform, and are super excited. Expect great things to come as we build out all of the new pages.
