The holidays can be a challenging time, and can bring up a mix of emotions. This 45-minute session offers a space to help you navigate Thanksgiving with more ease, compassion, and mindfulness.
We’ll settle into the session with grounding breathwork and a body scan, and then move into an extended heart-opening meditation, combining Metta Bhavana (Loving-Kindness Meditation) with visualization techniques. We’ll explore the question “What feels best to me in this moment?” and envision how we want to show up for the holiday, and what tools we can use to find ease when triggers arise.
Use this as time for yourself before the day is underway, or invite your friends and family to join you as a part of celebrating the holiday!
This class will be held online via Zoom; the link will be provided to you via email when you register. Registration is $15.

Amanda Pandey
Amanda Pandey was first introduced to meditation 10 years ago and has studied and cultivated a practice of her own over the years. She has practiced a variety of different techniques, taken courses, worked with experts, and has also assisted with research at the Clinically Applied Affective Neuroscience Lab at the University of California, Davis to prove the effectiveness of meditation on mental health. Amanda is now a certified yoga and meditation teacher and is passionate about sharing just how impactful mindfulness and meditation can be with others to help them lead more centered and balanced lives.
A core part of the meditation work Amanda does involves grounding one’s self in the body. Her goal is for others to be able to best help themselves as their body always knows what it needs, and if they can learn to give themselves enough space to hear these answers, they’ve already conquered the hardest step. Amanda’s focus is on empowering others to reconnect with themselves and their bodies so that they are able to work through any internal blocks and limiting beliefs with more confidence and ease.
