Yoga breathing is not just for yoga students and it is not taught only in yoga classes. Yoga
breathing consists of different techniques that can be used by anyone at any age to improve
their health and well being. It is strengthening and coordinating our breathing muscles and
making the mind/body connection stronger. Some breath techniques help to balance the nervous
system. Some techniques help to relax the body and others help to energize the body.
In this workshop you will learn a variety of breathing techniques so that you can have a direct
effect on your nervous system, stress level, sleep patterns, digestion, heart rate, and more.
You will leave the workshop with techniques to begin utilizing immediately. You will also gain
an awareness of your current breathing with breath tests that you can continue to use as a way
of measuring your progress.

New York City concert pianist Sohyun Ahn returns to Island Arts for the fourth year with a beautiful program for our community. An Island Arts’ favorite, Sohyun’s well-attended concerts of the last three summers elicited raves. “Amazing delicacy” and “world class.”
This program showcases Ahn in a solo piano concert featuring the first set of Chopin Nocturnes. She comments that this Chopin is “the perfect music for a dreamy summer evening, in a beautiful place like the Island Arts barn, with a fine concert grand piano.”
Sohyun Ahn is described as “an absolute master” by the New York Concert Review, and an “amazing pianist” by the Classical New Jersey Society. Our Vermont audience rave: “Absolutely superb.” “I was enthralled.” “Such a different experience from the big city hall where you are miles from the performer.”
From the liner notes for Ahn’s Bach Goldberg Variations: “Her playing exhibits a crystalline clarity, insightful nuance, and dynamic breadth.” From Piano Music Magazine, Korea: “Such a gifted virtuoso, wonderful performing the emotional storm … with the perfectly balanced elegance.”

Vermont musician Colby Crehan, former vocalist and songwriter for the Bluegrass Gospel Project and Possum Haw, reunites with her Possum Haw bandmates in the 5-piece acoustic project Marsh Lights.
Marsh Lights plays acoustic folk-grass music. The program features songs composed by Crehan. “Colby Crehan is a powerful and magnificently talented musician.”–– Robert Resnik, host, All the Traditions, Vermont Public Radio.
Marsh Lights’ new songs explore bravery, darkness, spirituality, and grace with lyrics that often employ metaphoric places and female heroes and perspectives. And Marsh Lights pulls from the old songbook of PossumHaw, particularly the songs found on their last recording, the live 2017 album Limberpine. The band also plays instrumentals written by banjoist Ryan Crehan and mandolinist Stephen Waud. Charley Eiseman’s warm vocals join Colby and Ryan’s for hauntingly sweet three-part harmonies. Charley plays lead acoustic guitar with nuanced blues and jazz inflections. Mitch Barron, a long-time essential presence in the Vermont folk music scene, brings his skilled upright bass playing to the stage, along with deep, rich vocal backup.
Vermont Vocalist of the Year
Vermont Song of the Year
“The combination of talent, passion, and songwriting in the band is breathtaking.”
– Mary-Nell Bockman, Whallonsburg Grange
