The Space Between

A Vibrational Sound Bath for Mental Health Awareness Month

“It’s Okay to Not Be Okay”

This Sound Bath Is for Mental Health, Rest, and Realness Saturday May 17, 7:30 P.M

 

 

May is Mental Health Awareness Month a time to honor the often invisible journeys we each carry within. The ones that don’t always have language. The ones that live in the quiet moments, in the held breaths, in the weight we sometimes forget we’re carrying. 

 

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, this sound bath holds space for everything that lives in the in- between, the quiet pauses between thoughts, the breath between breakdown and breakthrough, the soft hum between hope and heaviness. In the stillness of sound, we remember that it’s okay to not be okay! That healing isn’t linear. That rest is revolutionary.

Let each vibration hold you, soften you, and remind you: you are not alone.

 

This sound bath is an offering for the space between. Between overwhelm and ease. Between breakdown and breakthrough. Between what you show the world… and what you’re still learning how to hold inside. In the swirl of expectations, noise, and daily pressures, it can be so easy to lose touch with yourself. To override your needs. To silence your truth. But healing isn’t found in perfection or performance it lives in the pause. In the permission to be human. In the act of coming home to yourself, again and again.

 

Ajna is a space where it’s okay to not be okay! Where you don’t have to fix or figure anything out. Where sound becomes your sanctuary a gentle, vibrational invitation to soften, to release, and to rest. Let the tones carry you inward… Let the resonance unravel what’s been stuck… Let the vibrations remind your nervous system that it’s safe to slow down… To feel what you feel. To let go of what no longer serves you. To simply be. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, exhaustion, grief, depression, or just the heaviness of being alive in a complex world this space is for you. Take this time for your mind. For your heart. For your body and soul.

You are worthy of rest. You are worthy of peace. You are worthy of being held. Come as you are.

And let yourself land in the space between.

To make sure you feel completely at ease, wear comfortable clothing that lets you relax, and bring a blanket or yoga mat to settle into. A pillow or cushion for extra neck or head support will make your experience even cozier. And most importantly, come with an open heart just show up as you are, ready to soak in the peaceful, healing energy of sound.​​​​​​​​​

Spotlight on Excellence: Teacher of the Month – Elsy Mektrakarn-Nguyen!

 

This month, we’re celebrating Elsy Mektrakarn-Nguyen, a truly inspiring teacher who brings passion, wisdom, and a whole lot of heart to our Ajna Urban Yoga community!

 

Elsy’s yoga journey began nearly 20 years ago, drawn in by the physical benefits of the practice. But what she discovered was so much more—inner strength, mental stillness, and the power of patience (with a sprinkle of humor!). She quickly realized that flexibility alone wasn’t the key to yoga, but rather the ability to connect mind, body, and breath.

 

Her love for learning led her to yoga teacher training over five years ago—not to teach, but to deepen her understanding. Along the way, she found an incredible community and a deep desire to share the joy of yoga with others. What started as casual sessions with friends soon turned into a heartfelt mission: to help others experience the bliss of yoga, no matter where they are in life.

 

Elsy believes that yoga is for everyone—all it takes is a willingness to step on the mat and breathe. Her classes are filled with warmth, wisdom, and an open-hearted approach that welcomes every student exactly as they are.

 

If you haven’t had the chance to practice with Elsy yet, now’s the time! Come experience her uplifting energy and see why she’s such a cherished part of our community.

 

Join Elsy for “Root to Rise Hatha Yoga”

🧘‍♀️ Tuesdays at 4:15 PM

🧘‍♂️ Thursdays at 4:15 PM

 

Thank you, Elsy, for your dedication and for sharing your love of yoga with us all!

Spotlight Topic - The 7 Chakras

What is a Chakra? Chakras are known as the body’s energy centers. Though we are said to possess countless chakras, there are seven major chakras vertically spanning the midline of the body from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Each chakra governs a particular area of the body, element, emotion, and mental state. When the chakras are open, they allow a free flow of energy that facilitates a balanced and healthy life. The chakras are associated with particular deities that represent a different aspect within us. They mirror our emotions and behaviors and reflect to the subconscious feelings, habits, and thoughts that make-up or foster our growth. Each is connected to a higher brain center. Chakras in the legs relate to animal instinct and consciousness, while chakras above Muladhara or first chakra relate to human consciousness and spiritual evolution. Symbolism is important for awakening the chakras. Each chakra is represented by a color, a yantra (geometrical shape), a beej mantra (sacred seed sound), an animal symbol, divine beings, and a lotus flower with a specific number of petals. The chakras are subtle manifestations of human consciousness, and their purification enables kundalini energy to rise upward for the ultimate yogic goal of self-realization.
