Staying in the Light

Giving Naam, in partnership with Pasadena New Thought Center, is offering its second free workshop to support those affected by the Eaton fire and beyond with breath, movement, and sound meditation to restore your physical body, soothe your spirit, and calm your mind.

What to Expect:

This class is not a typical physical asana/postures based yoga practice. It is more of an experience of simple, practical, yogic and spiritual techniques for mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

Participants should come prepared to sit, stand, and lay down for a combination of breathwork, gentle movement, self-generated sound vibration (mantra), mudra therapy (hand postures), guided meditation, and rest.

The practice will be accessible to all regardless of prior yoga experience, shape, size, age, race, sexual identity or preference, or physical ability level. Everything can be easily modified, and your teacher, Chris Merrill will help you do so as needed.

Please wear comfortable layers to accommodate any change in body temperature, and may bring a yoga mat (or receive one from us), cushion and/or blanket, and refillable bottle of water. Folding chairs will also be provided.
