A 90-minute guided breathwork experience

You care about your work, your relationships, the people counting on you. You show up, you deliver, you carry a lot.
And putting it down? That part is harder.

The mind that makes you great at everything you do is also the mind that doesn't know how to switch off. You're at dinner and you're half somewhere else. You're on your mat and your to-do list showed up too. You want to be present, to relax, to enjoy what you've built — but the thoughts keep coming, and you haven't quite figured out how to make them stop.

Breathwork Journey: For the Overthinker is a guided 90-minute experience designed for exactly this. Conscious connected breathwork works by moving you out of the thinking mind, in a way that thinking about relaxing never quite manages. Through breathing, the mind that has been running the show finally gets to rest.

If this is your first time doing breathwork, you are in exactly the right place. No experience necessary. Just bring your busy mind — we'll take it from there.

What to expect

We begin with a gentle grounding exercise to ease you into the practice and make sure you feel completely comfortable before we start. A short talk on the science of breathwork and what to expect in your body — so you feel informed and held from the very beginning.

Then you lie down, close your eyes, and breathe. Forty-five minutes of conscious connected breathwork guided by live music and voice, with care and support present throughout.

We close with time to rest, to integrate, and to share over tea. This is a community of people who understand — curious, open, and genuinely glad you came. There is warmth here, and there is time.

What to bring

Wear something loose and comfortable that you can breathe fully in. Bring water. Arrive 15 minutes early to settle in.

Who this is for

Anyone. Especially anyone who finds stillness difficult, who carries a lot mentally, or who is simply curious about what breathwork can do.

Contraindications

A note before you book Conscious connected breathwork is widely accessible. Out of care for everyone in the room, it is not recommended for those who are pregnant, or living with cardiovascular disease or a history of heart attack, high or low blood pressure (unmanaged), epilepsy or seizure disorder, severe asthma, COPD or respiratory illness, detached retina or glaucoma, active psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder manic phase, or severe PTSD or trauma without therapist support. It is also not recommended within 3 months of surgery or injury. If you are unsure, please consult your doctor before attending.

Ekadashi 11th Lunar Cycle Practice At Sat Nam Yoga Chicago

Ekadashi is a cosmic reminder to stop trying so hard. A sacred pause for purification and harmony, it’s been honored across traditions as a time for meditation, fasting, and letting the mind loosen its grip—an opportunity to release old karmic habits and remember a wider view.

Symbolized by the rising of Kundalini, Ekadashi points to the shift from unconscious routine into conscious presence. The material and spiritual worlds seem to lean a little closer on this day, making inner practice especially effective.

Our teachers share kriyas for glandular balance every 11th day, gently coaxing the body back into rhythm. As balance returns all levels of being — physical, astral, and spiritual — are uplifted and renewed. Meditation deepens quite naturally—clarity sharpens, the heart is more peaceful, intuition enhances, and your awareness becomes more available. In this way, the kriya becomes both prayer and practice while quietly opening the door to higher consciousness.

We recommend to fast, or keep it light like eat fruit or juice on these days. Do whatever works for you.

A Doorway to Self-Growth & Self-Healing

Informed by Buddhism, Thai bodywork is a Physical Expression of Compassion. In other words, “Compassion in Action.” Blue Lotus celebrates and nurtures the growth of  mindfulness, compassion, loving kindness and equanimity all while learning a playful and energetic yet deeply relaxing modality. Thai bodywork, at its core, opens the door to personal growth where your healing is its purpose. And when the understanding of your own healing journey is embodied, you can share that gift with others who are ready to receive it.

The Blue Lotus Connection

After many years of graduating classes, the Training Program at Blue Lotus continues to evolve as a dynamic learning experience that honors both the technique and spirit of Thai bodywork.

With the support of experienced teachers, helpful assistants, a steady community of students, and many opportunities to learn and grow, the Blue Lotus’ 200 hour program sets the stage for personal breakthroughs and openings while giving you unparalleled training in the exploration of healing touch.

Whether you are an experienced bodyworker or have never experienced healing touch in your life, you will find that this program challenges you in many, often unexpected, ways. We guarantee that you will emerge after seven months, with a stronger, more flexible and more relaxed body, heart and mind as well as many wonderful gifts that you can share with the world.

Akashic Records Level 1 Certification: A Training in Soul Communication 🔑

Awaken the Listener Within. Become a channel of the Records. There comes a moment on the path when curiosity becomes calling. You’ve felt the resonance of your Records — perhaps glimpsed the beauty of your soul’s journey in meditation, or listened as your body responded to the vibrations of sound in a way no words could explain.

Now, something deeper stirs: a desire to walk consciously with this wisdom, to return again and again to the Akashic Field — not just for glimpses, but for guidance. Not just for self, but in service.

Welcome to Akashic Records Level 1 Certification — a sacred initiation into the art of accessing and reading the Akashic Records for yourself.

This is more than a training. It is a soul agreement to remember who you are — and begin walking with that truth in your daily life.

✨ What You Will Learn:
What the Akashic Records are — and how to access them safely and ethically
How to open and close your own Records using sacred prayer and vibrational frequency
Practices to develop clarity, trust, and discernment in your readings
Understanding the language of the Records — how messages come through (images, words, body sensations, emotion)
How to ask powerful questions for healing, insight, and alignment
Tools for integrating what you receive into everyday life
Energetic hygiene, grounding, and boundaries when working in high-frequency fields

🌀 What You Can Expect:
A deeply held container of guidance, community, and practice
Personal healing, insight, and soul remembrance
Live practice sessions in your own Records, with feedback and support
A foundational framework for further studies (including Level 2 Practitioner Training)
A Certificate of Completion for Akashic Records Level 1 (Self-Readings)
A sense of empowerment, reverence, and readiness to walk with your own soul’s voice

This training is ideal if you:
Have attended the Intro Workshop or Akashic Gong Journey and feel the call to go deeper.
Are ready to build a sustainable practice of self-connection and spiritual discernment.
Feel drawn to the Records but want structure, safety, and sacred mentorship.
Sense that the Akashic Field is a part of your personal or professional path.

This is the beginning of a powerful journey.
To sit with the Records is to sit with the purest remembrance of who you are.

To train in the Records is to begin walking with that wisdom — with humility, devotion, and love.

A Deepening Experience in the Field of the Akashic Records. 

Once you've tasted the remembrance of the Akashic Records — that vast, luminous field where your soul's story is written — something inside begins to stir. The mind softens. The heart listens. A deeper calling emerges…
In this next chapter of your soul’s exploration, we invite you to step beyond words and into vibration.


This is not a traditional sound bath.
This is an Akashic Gong Journey — a fusion of frequency and fieldwork, where the sacred sounds of planetary gongs and crystal bowls serve as the bridge between your earthly self and the infinite wisdom of your soul.


Through a guided meditation, you'll be gently led into your Records, where the gong's resonant tones open the deeper channels of intuition, memory, and healing. In this space, you don’t just access your soul’s story — you feel it in your bones.

✨ What to Expect:
• A short guided re-entry into the Akashic Records
• A gong sound journey intentionally designed to harmonize and awaken subtle layers of the soul
• Integration time with journaling, sharing, and optional intuitive reflection
• Deeper understanding of how the Records and sound work together to facilitate multi-dimensional healing

This journey is for those who’ve begun opening the door to the Records — whether in our Intro Workshop or elsewhere — and are ready to receive their next transmission through sound and sensation, not just words.

🌀 This is a deepening. A remembering. A cellular unlocking.

And for those who feel the call to walk with the Records in service to others, this journey is a sacred stepping stone toward our Akashic Records Practitioner Training, beginning November 1st.

The Records are opening.
Will you listen?

Part I of a three-part workshop series is designed to support the body’s transition from winter into spring using movement, acupuncture, and traditional warming therapies.

Part I : Yoga and Taoist Practices to Support Liver and Lymphatics

75-minute class

Spring is the season of renewal and the Wood element, which governs the Liver and Gallbladder in Traditional Chinese Medicine. As the body transitions from winter into spring, supporting these organ systems can help improve detoxification, circulation, and resilience during seasonal change.

This workshop combines yoga asana, Taoist internal martial arts practices, and dietary advice to support the healthy functioning of the liver and lymphatic system. These practices may help ease seasonal allergies and address many issues associated with this crucial organ system.

Accessible movements and techniques will be shared to help optimize a regular practice and support the body’s natural ability for self-regulation, detoxification, and balance.

A 30-minute break will follow this session to allow participants time to rest and transition before the next offering.
