Event description:

Step into a space of deep connection and spiritual exploration in this special workshop led by Amir Etemadzadeh, a master of Persian classical music, and Natalie Javid, a yoga teacher devoted to yin yoga, restorative practices, and energy work. Together, Amir and Natalie will guide you through an experience that uncovers the interconnectedness of our energetic bodies, and the role vibration plays in contributing to universal consciousness. During this two-hour session, we will explore how vibration and sound weave us into the fabric of the universe. Beginning with a dharma talk to set the spiritual foundation, we will transition into meditation and gentle yoga, creating an openness to receive and resonate with these teachings. Chanting and drumming will help us tap into collective energy, followed by a reflective sharing circle where participants can express their personal experiences and insights.

This workshop will take place on November 16, 2024, from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM PST. Whether you are seeking personal growth, energetic alignment, or a deeper understanding of universal vibration, this session offers an opportunity to connect on a profound level with yourself and others.

Natalie Javid:

Natalie’s journey into yoga began over a decade ago, unfolding as a divine calling after an injury shifted her path from Shotokan Karate, where she had earned a 2nd-degree brown belt. Her passion for Eastern philosophy led her to the mat, where she instantly resonated with the sacred practice of yoga. She has completed over 500 hours of training, with her 200-hour YTT immersing her in yoga’s ancient origins and philosophy, and her advanced 300-hour YTT expanding her skills across Vinyasa, Yin, and Restorative styles. Drawing from her deep learnings with gifted teachers, Natalie infuses her classes with spirituality, guiding students through movement as meditation and a devotional practice. Her teaching emphasizes inner connection, energetic awareness, and awakening to the divine power within. With each class, Natalie creates a space for practitioners to explore their truths and deepen their connection to Source, blending breath, body, and spirit in a sacred flow.
