DEEP REST with VANESSA TAAL

Deep Rest is a workshop focused on exploring participants' relationship with rejuvenation, especially in the context of burnout and stressful conditions of this day and age. With energy being a finite resource, the workshop helps participants understand their unique rhythms and how to restore balance in both the short and long term.

Through yoga asanas, yoga Nidra, journaling, and group sharing, participants gain insight into where they are overexerting themselves and how to prevent depletion. By addressing core fears around slowing down, participants will connect with an inner vulnerability to support their life force and overall well-being. PRICE: Free for Kalā Members, $29/drop-in

EMBODIED PRACTICE AND DEEP HEALING: HOLIDAY RESET

This immersive workshop offers a balanced journey of movement, relaxation, and mindfulness, combining active yoga, hands-on adjustments, sound healing, pranayama, and meditation to foster deep relaxation and grounding.

Part 1: Yoga Class with Hands-On Assists 
Theme: Alignment and Deepening Postures
The session starts with a gentle warm-up to prepare the body, followed by a series of foundational and flowing asanas focused on alignment and refinement. Hands-on adjustments are offered throughout the practice to deepen participants' postures safely and mindfully, with opportunities for partner work to enhance awareness. The class gradually transitions into restorative postures, setting the stage for deep relaxation.

Part 2: Sound Bath for Relaxation 
Theme: Deep Rest and Healing
Participants are guided into a comfortable resting position (Savasana or a restorative pose) while a sound bath unfolds: The vibrations from the instruments promote deep relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance mindfulness. This segment encourages participants to release both mental and physical tension.

Part 3: Pranayama and Meditation 
Theme: Centering and Grounding
After the sound bath, participants are led into a seated position for a pranayama practice. This practice helps restore balance and focus before transitioning into a short guided meditation. The meditation fosters awareness of the breath and body, supporting integration of the experience.

Key Takeaways for Participants:

  • The relaxation and reset achieved through the combination of yoga and sound healing.

  • The benefits of pranayama and meditation for grounding, focus, and integration.
