Radical Reset: Kundalini and Sound Ceremony for Eclipse Season Recovery
Every six month we enter the eclipse season a potent time of transformative energy. This September we have a total lunar eclipse and partial solar eclipse. In astrology, lunar eclipses (full moons), on the other hand, are associated with emotional culmination, release, and endings—often revealing what's been hidden in our subconscious. Solar eclipses (new moons) signify powerful beginnings, revelations, and destiny-shifting events, often sparking external changes or new chapters. Together, they create a potent window for transformation, realignment, and accelerated growth, helping us shed the past and step into a new version of ourselves. The energetic ripple effects of an eclipse can continue to unfold for up to 6 months.
As the veil thins and the planets shift, eclipse season offers a potent portal for release, renewal, and radical transformation. Join Lotus Land community and Yael for Radical Reset, a powerful evening of clarifying kundalini yoga and a restorative gong (sound) bath, designed to help you harness the powerful energy of the fall eclipses.
In this experience, we will:
🌀 Activate your Kundalini (creative) energy through a dynamic kriya, breathwork (pranayama), and mantra to awaken your inner fire and clear energetic blocks.
🎶 Surrender into healing frequencies with a deeply restorative sound bath featuring the ancient chau gong, koshi chimes, and other sacred instruments to recalibrate your nervous system and anchor higher awareness.
✨ Come as you are. Leave feeling grounded, expanded, and aligned with your full self.

Artful Movement: Deep Rest and Sound Healing with Chris and Julia
In this class we will begin to climb down into the infinite depth that is the internal universe. To start our journey inward, we will bring warmth to the body with soft, creative, free-flowing movement, then gently transition toward a sequence of longer held, supportive postures coming from both the restorative and yin traditions. Each part of the sequence will be tonally balanced with live music complimenting the movement as well as the longer held positions. The instruments will include handpans, gongs and "full-moon” singing bowls from the Himalayas imbued with healing mantras. When the body is allowed to dance and then be supported properly, space and freedom are created in the joints and spine. This method of practice results in a rush of pranic healing, calming the nervous system, and revitalizing the adrenals, thereby relieving stress and fatigue. Additionally, the frequency of the bowls create vibrational sound harmonics that impact the sympathetic nervous system by engaging the relaxation reflex, and disrupting the pain reflex, creating an overall deep sense of well being, meditation and relaxation Again and again we will surrender the physical into the pulsation of prana and the mudra of the shape. As the body settles into its most natural state, the mind will begin to follow suit and vise-versa, shifting together into the ever-deepening waters of clarity, wisdom, and the nourishing wellspring of peace.
