A Kundalini Chant of Remembrance, Sound Healing & Community Ofrenda  with Steph Lopez
for Dia de los Muertos | November 1 

Offered in Spanish and English

Dia de los Muertos offers a sacred opportunity to remember those who have walked before us—to honor our loved ones, our ancestors, and the bonds of love that continue beyond the physical world.

In this special Kundalini practice, we will come together in remembrance through the ancient chant Akaal, meaning deathless or beyond death. In the Kundalini tradition, Akaal is chanted as a prayer for the peaceful transition and liberation of the soul beyond the physical body.

We will chant Akaal 10 times, dedicating each repetition to a loved one, ancestor, or soul we wish to honor. Through the vibration of the mantra, we create a space for remembrance, release, and love—allowing grief to be witnessed while connecting with the timeless nature of the soul.

The chanting will gently open into a 1hr. sound meditation, allowing the resonance of the mantra to settle deeply into the body and heart. Sound becomes a vessel for stillness, reflection, and integration.

This is a spiritual practice for anyone carrying grief, missing someone they love, or simply wishing to honor the lineage of souls that brought them here.

🌼 Bring the names and photos of those you wish to remember to contribute to our community ofrenda—a shared altar created to honor the loved ones and ancestors who have shaped our lives. Your photographs, memories, and presence become part of a collective field of remembrance.

We will chant for them, honor them, and hold space for the mystery of what lies beyond death.

Akaal. Akaal. Akaal.
Beyond death. Beyond time. Love remains.

Divination is a mirror, reflecting the subtle currents of energy that shape our lives.

Rather than predicting the future, divination offers a way to step outside your circumstances and view them with greater clarity. It reveals patterns, confirms intuition, and illuminates possibilities that may have otherwise gone unseen.


In this workshop, you'll explore several timeless divination practices. Learn the art of scrying, using a soft, receptive gaze to receive symbolic messages through water, glass, or flame. Discover pendulum dowsing, a simple yet powerful technique for gaining clear yes-or-no guidance. You'll also be introduced to Tarot and Oracle cards—the most widely practiced forms of divination—and learn how to interpret their symbolism with confidence and intuition.

By the end of this 2 hour experience, you'll have practical tools to deepen your intuition and begin developing a personal divination practice.

Learn how to use these methods to enhance your clarity!

A Women's Wellness Daytreat at Sat Nam Yoga
October 25 | 11-4pm


In a world where systems rarely align with a woman’s natural evolution, it’s essential we create space to honor each stage of life. This daytreat honors that journey, offering women the space, knowledge, and tools to embrace each phase with confidence. Discover proactive self-care for women of all ages. Whether you're preparing for hormonal changes or already navigating them, this retreat equips you with tools to cultivate balance now and for the future. Start building lifelong habits of wellness—don’t wait for shifts to happen!

What’s in store:

We will begin with a rich discussion exploring women’s health narratives and the hormonal changes each life stage may bring, giving you insight to prepare for your journey. Afterward, we’ll move into restorative yoga—a gentle practice to calm your nervous system, release tension, and support pelvic floor health, awakening creativity in your core.

Then we’ll shift into an intimate community acupuncture session, helping you balance your hormones and support sleep, mood, and energy. This is the clinical part of the day—acupuncture harnesses the wisdom of Oriental medicine, harmonizing the flow of qi, your life force. Dana will provide individualized care, making each treatment personal—one reason why spaces are limited.

In our final session, we’ll introduce you to the ancient tools of essential oils and moxa, making them accessible for everyday use. You’ll gain the confidence and knowledge to work with these practices, empowering you to build ongoing self-care routines beyond the retreat. This session ensures you can carry these tools with you, continuing your wellness journey long after the workshop ends.

Guided Breathwork Journey for Conscious Community
The New Chapter

Friday night, in community.

A space for those also seeking - deeper meaning, deeper connection, a life that feels like theirs. Come alone or bring a friend. Either way, you belong here.

Each gathering is built with intentionality - to foster a tight, safe community container, to explore what it means to be spiritual in modern day together, and to create an experience and insights that stay with you long after you leave.

This month: The New Chapter.

Something is beginning. Maybe you chose it. Maybe life nudged you here. Either way, you can feel it — a door opening, a page turning, a version of yourself stepping forward that you haven't fully met yet.

A new chapter might look like a relationship beginning or ending, a new job or career pivot, a move to a new city or home, stepping into a new version of yourself after loss or grief, or leaving behind a belief system or old way of seeing the world.

Whatever your chapter — this evening is for it.

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.

At Sat Nam Yoga Chicago, we honor the rhythm of the seasons through Celestial Sound Ceremonies—immersive gatherings that help you realign your inner world with nature’s cycles.

The Autumn Equinox marks a sacred flash point of balance—when day and night once again share equal length. It’s a time to pause, reflect, and gather the fruits of your inner and outer labor. As the light begins to wane, we’re invited to ground, give thanks, and release what we've outgrown. 

Our team of sound facilitators will create a nourishing sound journey featuring planetary gongs, crystal and Tibetan bowls, flutes, drums, temple bells, and chimes. These healing frequencies guide you into deep stillness, helping you settle into gratitude and find balance between effort and ease.

✨ During the ceremony, you’ll also receive 1:1 energy healing from multiple healers. Gentle, intentional touch helps integrate the lessons of the season, restore equilibrium, and prepare the body-mind for the quieter months ahead.

Come to harvest your growth, rest in reflection, and harmonize with the wisdom of change. Leave balanced, centered, and open to the beauty of letting go.

An immersive sound meditation experience. 

Acoustic Sound healing sessions are deeply immersive experiences centered around the rich, grounding vibrations of the didgeridoo—Paul's signature instrument—alongside native flutes, world percussion, acoustic strings, and overtone vocals.

Each session unfolds organically, creating a meditative soundscape that meets participants where they are. Participants are invited to gently release emotional tension and attune to the natural rhythm of native sounds and presence in a meditative state, allowing the nervous system to unwind, the mind to become still, and the body to return to its natural state of balance.

Musical Mindset (Paul Grosso) is a Chicago-based musician, sound healer, and ecstatic dance facilitator with over seven years of professional experience. Trained in sound therapy through the Dome Center in Spain, Paul creates immersive live looping performances that organically combine native flute, world percussion, vocals, and strings. Inspired by his Greek heritage and a lifelong connection to rhythm, each sound journey unfolds intuitively, inviting deep listening, movement, emotional release, and transformation.

Yogi Bhajan Birthday Sadhana: Extended 2.5 hours Morning Call Meditation

Tuesday August 26 | 4:30–7:00 AM 

Doors open at 4AM | Free Event (Donations Welcome)

Let’s rise together in remembrance and gratitude, honoring the depth and impact of Yogi Bhajan’s teachings — timeless wisdom shared through the sacred science of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation. This sunrise gathering is part of a Universal Chant, practiced simultaneously by Kundalini Yogis around the world, creating a powerful wave of unity and devotion.

At the heart of this practice is the 2.5-hour Long Ek Ong Kar meditation, an experience rooted in Naad Yoga, the yoga of sacred sound. Naad Yoga uses mantra, rhythm, and breath to harmonize your body and mind with the universe’s vibrational frequency. Through the repetition of sound, this practice clears subconscious blocks, balances the energy centers, and uplifts your consciousness.

You are invited to chant for the full 2.5 hours — or simply rest in the sound current and let it carry you inward. Either way, you’ll leave feeling peaceful, grounded, and expansive.


🎶 What to Expect:
• 2.5-Hour Long Ek Ong Kar (Morning Call) Meditation
• Graceful space to chant or rest as needed
• Gong nap + light community breakfast afterward
• Optional potluck — bring a veg-friendly dish to share

🧘 What to Bring:
Yoga mat, cushion, blankets, shawl for comfort
White/natural fiber clothing and head covering encouraged


📿 Please RSVP to reserve your space
All are welcome. Donations appreciated  www.PayPal.me/satnamyoga

Let us chant, connect, and carry forward the light of this sacred lineage — together.

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 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.
