11/16 >> DEEP REST *YIN/NIDRA/REIKI*
saturday, NOVEMBER 16, 430PM-6PM
join KARI LU (IG: @karilucowell) , take things slow and let things go in this very special extended practice of DEEP REST.
starting with principles and practices of the yin yoga tradition- staying close to the earth, settling in postures longer- we tap into subtle energy channels and connective tissues, unwinding what's stagnant or restless. then, from the yoga nidra tradition, we practice meditation and visualization techniques- to ease the mind and being into a state of deep relaxation somewhere between awake and asleep. KARI will also be offering REIKI as an added release during the yin portion of class. Reiki means "universal life force energy" and is a Japanese form of energy healing that helps your nervous system calm down & relax.
from gross to subtle, this 90min special event engages rest to encourage body, mind and being into deep release and quiet ease. to learn more about KARI please visit practicealtadena.com/team.

“Astrology appeared to me, as it does to many of us, during a time of crippling uncertainty. It soothed me and saw me. I think because it provides us with a logical language that shows us who we are and what’s to come for us — it gives huge, shapeless notions a form, color, and energy. It constellates the shadowy halls of our psyche with light and geometry. I work with astrology to uncover the ways it empowers us to see ourselves, the world, and each other.”
