1/24 - 1/26 Akashic Records Training Program
2025-01-24 09:30 - 2025-01-26 19:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Be The Change Yoga, 14988 Sand Canyon Ave, Studio 5, Irvine, CA, 92618, United States
What are the akashic records?

The Akashic Records are often described as a metaphysical “library” or energetic database that holds the collective memory of every thought, action, and experience in the universe. Rooted in ancient spiritual traditions, the concept suggests that everything that has ever occurred—and every possibility for the future—exists in this energetic field.
Think of the Akashic Records as the “cloud storage” of the universe. Just like your smartphone uploads information to a cloud service, every moment of your life—your choices, intentions, and emotions—uploads to this vast energetic network. The records are not physical but rather vibrational, existing in the realm of consciousness.
Accessing the Akashic Records is said to offer insights into:

Your personal purpose: Understanding your life’s path and unique gifts.
Patterns and challenges: Gaining clarity on recurring issues and how to resolve them.
Spiritual growth: Connecting with deeper truths about yourself and your connection to others.

In a universal sense, the Akashic Records emphasize the idea that all of existence is interconnected, and every being contributes to the collective evolution. Whether approached through meditation, prayer, or guided techniques, exploring the records can offer profound guidance for living a more meaningful and harmonious life.

At her core, Tish is fiery and passionate, channeling the Divine and connecting with her Spiritual Guides and Angels.

3/28 Shakti Bhakti Kirtan @YogaShakti
2025-03-28 19:00 - 21:00
Workshop Overview

Located at Yoga Shakti in Irvine!!!
We are so excited to partner with Yoga Shakti and the Water Brewery for this special community event!
We love singing, dancing, and gathering with our community!
Doors open at 6:30PM and Kirtan will begin at 7:00PM.
Address: 4255 Campus Dr Unit A235. Irvine CA 92612
Kirtan is a live music experience of call and response chanting. It’s a bhakti yoga practice designed to focus the mind, open the heart, and elevate your spirits. It is a joyful practice open to students of all backgrounds and religions. The sounds / mantras are often in the language of Sanskrit; which is a vibrational language.
If you have not yet experienced the practice of kirtan, we can’t recommend it more highly. It invites us to transcend our egos, to become playful, join our voices and sing from the heart tapping into the mystical power of mantras that have been recited for thousands of years.
The Shakti Bhakti Troupe has been providing kirtans to the Orange County community at Yoga Shakti Studio for over 20 years. The kirtans are secular, universally appealing, uplifting and uniting. The troupe draws inspiration from its rich and unbroken lineage of Shakti worship via the Sri Vidya tradition. Whether a melodious tune, a heart-wrenching divine call, or a thunderous, roaring, ferocious dance—the expressions of devotion, love, gratitude, homage, surrender, faith and oneness of all beings is ever- present as we spin alongside the unknown on this blue marble.
As a collective, this troupe of experienced musicians, led by Mariza, creates a space that allows for a soulful experience beyond kirtan. Each Shakti Bhakti event leads one through a celebratory and powerful call-and-response practice of mantra accompanied by music. In keeping with our longstanding commitment to offer an authentic experience of Yoga to our community, Shakti Bhakti may also include in its kirtans storytelling, yoga philosophy, and spontaneous audience jam sessions.

The Shakti Bhakti Kirtan Troupe
In the spirit of the ancient Bhakti tradition, the Shakti Bhakti Troupe has been providing kirtans to the Orange County community at Yoga Shakti Studio for over 20 years. The kirtans are secular, universally appealing, uplifting and uniting.
The troupe draws inspiration from its rich and unbroken lineage of Shakti worship via the Sri Vidya tradition. Whether a melodious tune, a heart-wrenching divine call, or a thunderous, roaring, ferocious dance—the expressions of devotion, love, gratitude, homage, surrender, faith and oneness of all beings is ever- present as we spin alongside the unknown on this blue marble.
Each kirtan is chosen to focus on the essence of love—be it the mother’s love for her child, the tug of a lover’s heart, the bond of a friend, or the awestruck, grateful soul of a devotee—the flow is always toward the Universal Consciousness, whether a personal God or a Divine without attributes, sparking spiritual wisdom.
As a collective, this troupe of experienced musicians, led by Mariza, creates a space that allows for a soulful experience beyond kirtan. Each Shakti Bhakti event leads one through a celebratory and powerful call-and-response practice of mantra accompanied by music.

4/12 Yoga Therapy + Public Health Course
2025-04-12 08:30 - 11:30
Course Overview

This course explores the various factors that influence health at the macro-level using a public health lens, while at the same time, exploring the inner world of the human being using Yoga models to identify and treat imbalances.
This transformative course bridges the wisdom of Yoga with the science of Public Health to address the root causes of disease and empower sustainable well-being. Students will explore the macro-level social, environmental, and behavioral determinants of health through a public health lens—while simultaneously diving into the inner landscape of the human system using Yoga therapy frameworks rooted in the Yoga Sutras and the Krishnamacharya lineage.
Through lecture and experiential practice, students will gain practical skills in applying yoga therapy models to assess imbalances, identify contraindications, and implement appropriate tools for common chronic conditions such as back pain, heart disease, respiratory issues, addiction, digestive disturbances, and relational health.
In parallel, the public health component reveals why current health interventions have failed to curb the chronic disease epidemic—and how yoga therapy offers a time-tested, holistic system to influence behavior change from the inside out. Yoga supports the cultivation of a clear, rational, and steady mind, which is essential for making choices that promote long-term health.
Trainees will also develop skills in creating, implementing, and evaluating group yoga therapy programs, and gain language to advocate for yoga therapy services in health systems. This course empowers you to become a wellness leader at both the individual and population level—an essential offering in the future of integrative medicine.

5/10 Kirtan with The Shakti Bhakti Kirtan Troupe
2025-05-10 18:30 - 20:30
Workshop Overview

Kirtan is a live music experience of call and response chanting. It’s a bhakti yoga practice designed to focus the mind, open the heart, and elevate your spirits. It is a joyful practice open to students of all backgrounds and religions. The sounds / mantras are often in the language of Sanskrit; which is a vibrational language.

If you have not yet experienced the practice of kirtan, we can’t recommend it more highly. It invites us to transcend our egos, to become playful, join our voices and sing from the heart tapping into the mystical power of mantras that have been recited for thousands of years.

The Shakti Bhakti Troupe has been providing kirtans to the Orange County community at Yoga Shakti Studio for over 20 years. The kirtans are secular, universally appealing, uplifting and uniting. The troupe draws inspiration from its rich and unbroken lineage of Shakti worship via the Sri Vidya tradition. Whether a melodious tune, a heart-wrenching divine call, or a thunderous, roaring, ferocious dance—the expressions of devotion, love, gratitude, homage, surrender, faith and oneness of all beings is ever- present as we spin alongside the unknown on this blue marble.

As a collective, this troupe of experienced musicians, led by Mariza, creates a space that allows for a soulful experience beyond kirtan. Each Shakti Bhakti event leads one through a celebratory and powerful call-and-response practice of mantra accompanied by music. In keeping with our longstanding commitment to offer an authentic experience of Yoga to our community, Shakti Bhakti may also include in its kirtans storytelling, yoga philosophy, and spontaneous audience jam sessions.

Each kirtan is chosen to focus on the essence of love—be it the mother’s love for her child, the tug of a lover’s heart, the bond of a friend, or the awestruck, grateful soul of a devotee—the flow is always toward the Universal Consciousness, whether a personal God or a Divine without attributes, sparking spiritual wisdom.

Allison Prince, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500
Allison Prince began practicing yoga in the early 2000s while pursuing her bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. She took her first yoga training not to become a yoga teacher but to better understand the practice. However, within the first few weeks of the training, she realized she had found her path and purpose. Over the past twenty years, Allison has taught more than 15,000 hours of yoga in group classes, workshops, private sessions, and yoga teacher training.

Allison did a 200-hour and 300-hour yoga teacher program through Cloud Nine Yoga. She also completed over 1,000 hours of massage training at IPSB and Mesa Academy to become a certified massage therapist. She taught at many studios in Orange County at the beginning of her career until she found her first yoga home at Soul at Home in Tustin. While at this studio, she helped co-create 500 hours of yoga teacher training programs with her business partner. Also, during this time, she completed another 200-hour course, this time in Kundalini Yoga, because she has a passion for the more subtle tools that yoga offers.

In 2013, Allison left the comfort of the studio she loved to follow her dreams and open a yoga studio. She is the co-owner of Be the Change Yoga in Irvine, CA. Owning a yoga studio has been both a challenging and exciting experience and has helped her grow in so many ways over this past decade. Be the Change Yoga is the only yoga studio in Orange County offering yoga therapy training. Allison signed up to be part of the inaugural group of the AlcheMe yoga therapy program and became a yoga therapist in 2019.

Allison is passionate about learning more about women’s health, and how best to support them during different stages of life. She has done additional training in yoga for fertility, and yoga therapy for the endocrine system. She is forever a student and is currently receiving her Master’s degree in Functional Medicine and Nutrition. Once she has completed her Master’s degree, she hopes to develop different yoga therapy programs for balancing hormones, calming the nervous system, and mindful eating.

Katie Allen, MPH, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500
Katie received her Master’s degree in Public Health from Tulane University. She wrote her Master’s thesis on Yoga’s ability to prevent and treat chronic disease and that has been her life’s work ever since! She studied yoga therapy in the lineage of Krishnamacharya with her teachers Ruth (Sraddhasagar) Hartung, Larry Payne, Robert Birnberg, Amy Wheeler, and the KYM faculty in Chennai, India.
She opened Be The Change Yoga Studio and Natural Health Center in Irvine, CA in 2013 with her teaching partner Allison Prince. Together they have been leading Yoga Teacher Training Programs since 2010, Katie loves sharing the life-enhancing wisdom of the Yoga Sutras as way to upgrade every single aspect of life. Katie launched OC’s first and only Yoga Therapist Training in 2016 and is the Founding School Director for AlcheMe Yoga Therapy Training.
She is passionate about bringing the empowerment based lifestyle medicine principles out of the yoga studios and into under-served communities, as well as hospitals and health systems. She utilizes her background in Public Health to effectively build community-based yoga therapy and health education programs to improve personal and community health, while training the next generation of integrative health providers.
She has been studying Ayurveda for over 10 years with Eleni Tsikrikas and Mas Vidal. She most recently formalized her Ayurveda education with James Bailey at the Sevanti Institute and is currently conducting her clinical internship hours.

Event Overview

Wellness Wednesday: Dive into the Healing Art of Somatic Experiencing
With Caroline Thompson, Wellness Coordinator at Be The Change Yoga
Join us for a gentle introduction to Somatic Experiencing® (SE), a body-centered approach designed to heal trauma that focuses on supporting your nervous system’s natural capacity for regulation and resilience.
In this introductory workshop, you’ll learn foundational SE principles and explore gentle practices that help you recognize your body’s wisdom and build resources for managing daily stress. While SE is designed to address trauma, we’ll be working with manageable stress and building your capacity to notice and support your nervous system’s natural responses.
Through simple awareness exercises, gentle movement, and nervous system education, you’ll discover how to support your body’s innate ability to find balance. Somatic Experiencing works by gently increasing tolerance for bodily sensations and helping your nervous system complete natural stress responses that may have become stuck. All practices are completely optional and designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of experience level.
This workshop is part of our Wellness Wednesday Series, your chance to meet our incredible team of holistic providers and explore different pathways to wellbeing. Whether you’re new to somatic work or curious about nervous system support, this is a perfect gentle introduction to these powerful yet subtle practices.
