AYC & APLR Present: The Harmonic Body - A six-week Journey of Movement and Sound

* Wednesday Evenings Weekly at AyurPrana Listening Room from October 21st - November 25th, 2026
* Attend one session, or all 6.
* Doors 5:30PM || Class 6PM-7PM
* Register at AyurPranaListeningRoom.com

The Harmonic Body is a welcoming space for restorative connection through yoga, breath, visualization, sound, and song. Held by the supportive presence of Rosie Mulford and Sarah Louise, participants will be invited to listen inwardly, move gently, and attune to the body, the nervous system, the support of the Earth and the subtle energies that connect us.

Rosie has been teaching yoga for decades, bringing deep compassion, wisdom, and presence to her practice. Her teaching is rooted in meaningful cueing and an understanding of yoga as a pathway toward healing, connection, and embodied awareness.

Sarah Louise has spent 20 years singing her ancestral folk music and spends her life listening deeply to her body and the Earth. Sarah is also a yoga teacher, bringing another layer of embodied understanding to this shared experience. Her recorded music has been called “Mystical” by the New York Times and “In tune with the thrust of existence” by NPR.

Together, Rosie and Sarah create a magical synergy - feeling into one another’s work and responding to what will best support the group. Their caring presence helps participants connect more deeply with themselves, one another, the Earth, and the subtle dimensions of experience.

The session will include:
- Breathwork and guided visualization
- Nourishing yoga asanas and mindful movement
- A journey through the chakras
- Live, intuitive singing and supportive sound
- An exploration of how sound relates to the subtle body and chakras
- Opportunities to discover ways of using your own voice for nourishment and connection

Come as you are and allow yourself to be held in sound, movement, presence, and community.

APLR is pleased to welcome Horse Lords on Monday, October 12th, with special guests Brett W. Naucke and World Room! Tickets at AyurPranaListeningRoom.com.

Horse Lords were founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 2010; they evolved from the experimental collective Teeth Mountain and began as a trio with drummer Sam Haberman, guitarist Owen Gardner, and bassist Max Eilbacher, soon adding alto saxophonist Andrew Bernstein to the core ensemble. Though Horse Lords grew out of the fertile Baltimore noise and leftfield rock scene, a storied environment for artists and weirdos that has nurtured many an influential outsider band (Lungfish, Matmos), their approach is more omnivorous than the stippled rhythms of instrumental electric rock would indicate.

Across sixteen years of frequent touring, Horse Lords have released ten studio, live, and collaboration albums in addition to a split EP with fellow Baltimoreans Lower Dens, a handful of singles and compilation tracks.

World Room is the trio of Ashley Paul (saxophone), Jake Pugh (electronics), and Shane Justice McCord (bass clarinet, piano). The music revolves around minimalist compositions, improvisation, and live processing. They’ve been blessed to perform at the Black Mountain College ReHappening experimental arts festival, Black Mountain College museum, and to have recently supported Wolf Eyes. Their debut album is out this autumn on Orange Milk Records.

Brett W. Naucke is an American experimental composer and visual artist from Chicago, IL currently based in Asheville, NC. Naucke’s sonic output has been primarily focused on marrying an ever-evolving practice of synthesis with conceptual narratives. His most recent recordings have been released by a wide variety of acclaimed labels such as American Dreams, Spectrum Spools, Umor Rex, L.I.E.S, and Hausu Mountain in addition to many others since 2010. Beyond live performance, Naucke has provided the original scores for several films, sound design for interactive gaming, and presented many works for multi-channel audio and video installation.

You heard the man! Join us in the Listening Room for Slow Accordion on Tuesday, November 3rd! Tickets at AyurPranaListeningRoom.com 🎟️

Slow Accordion is a brand-new instrumental, improvised quartet from Nashville featuring acclaimed guitarist Oliver Wood (The Wood Brothers), groove-driven bassist Ted Pecchio (Colonel Bruce Hampton, Doyle Bramhall), versatile drummer Mark Raudabaugh (Sierra Hull, Jim Lauderdale, Fred Wesley), and Matt Glassmeyer, a fixture of the New York and Nashville improvised music scenes, performing on his own wonderfully strange Wurlitzer (Meadownoise, Lambchop, Billy Martin, Aqua Teen Hunger Force).

Their debut album, due out July 16 on Royal Potato Family Records, is a seven-track collection that was completely improvised and recorded entirely in analog—from the first note to the tape literally running out halfway through the closing track. The four longtime friends came together with no preconceived ideas or compositions, simply trusting the moment to conjure music out of thin air. One final note: despite the band’s name, there are, regrettably, no accordions to be heard.

Tonight, APLR Presents: House of Aurlu Mask Exhibit and a performance from Arulu & Will Franke! ✨Doors 5PM / Performance 6PM ✨

This FREE event is part of Lamplight AVL’s Fall Art Walk, and there are 16 West Asheville businesses participating! It’s going to be a beautiful night in our community, and we are thrilled to be part of it!

You may remember Arulu & Will’s gut-wrenching performance sung in 10 different languages from last winter, where their set became an altar to the heart of music that unites us across the world. This time they’re back with a repertoire drawn heavily from Appalachian folk, Balkan, Celtic, & Spanish traditions. Arulu’s ethereal voice cuts straight through the everyday noise & twines with Will’s equally intricate instrumentals, creating a timeless space through song. The duo honors the depth of each tradition through precise ornamentation & melodic clarity while blending them with a contemporary sensibility, offering a performance that is emotionally vivid & deeply engaging.

Arulu is an interdisciplinary visual artist who specializes in sculpture & maskmaking. Inspired by mask traditions across the world, Arulu crafts intensely powerful masks whose spiritual presences are just as palpable as their physical form. As part of this immersive art-walk experience, she will be creating an installation of her masks in the Listening Room that will be on view during the musical performance.

RSVP at AyurPranaListeningRoom.com, or just show up!
