An Evening with Abdi Assadi

BIO

Abdi Assadi is a spiritual counselor and healer in his 35th year of clinical practice. His work centers on helping his patients use their disease and dysfunction as a doorway to spiritual serenity. Through his decades of practice, he has learned that identifying and integrating the human shadow – those disowned or repressed puzzle pieces of self that wreak havoc in our lives – offers the most lasting healing for what ails us in body, mind, and spirit. He has studied Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese acupuncture, body centered psychotherapy, external and internal martial arts, indigenous shamanic practices as well as diverse meditative techniques. He believes we should live in this transient world as fully as possible.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

A Healer’s Handbook: A Guide for the Beginner Practitioner presents three and a half decades of clinical experience distilled into a practical and easy-to-use esoteric guidebook.

This book offers a pared-down examination of the therapeutic process while highlighting how self- reflection is crucial when engaging the healing realm, regardless of the modality. There is great responsibility in being called to tend to the needs of another. To become a clear enough channel to be of service, one must stare into the mirror.

This work applies to a myriad of healing modalities on the body-mind-spirit continuum: bodywork, psychotherapeutic arts, spiritual healing, or a mix thereof, and includes acupuncturists, massage therapists, yoga teachers, social workers, psychotherapists, energy healers, and life coaches.

Yoga for BIPOC with Shevy & Sasha


A gentle slow flow yoga class offered for the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) community. If you identify as a member of the BIPOC community join us. We will be using yoga postures (asana) to reconnect with our bodies as well as breathing techniques (pranayama) to work with our nervous systems. Free and open to all levels. No experience required. Come and let’s continue to build community together.

BIPOC classes Taught By Shevy and Sasha

Shevy Katan

In a time where it becomes challenging to pull ourselves away from our many screens, our yoga practice becomes the opportunity to quietly return home to our bodies and settle within ourselves. To simply check in with how we are doing, moment to moment, Shevy has learned, is a small, but necessary act of resistance to the many systems of oppression. Shevy turned to yoga as a respite from a toxic work culture while working in the fashion industry. She soon discovered how the 8 limb practice was a roadmap on how to move in our world ethically, with compassion, and clarity. Shevy is most interested in the intersection of the yoga practice with social justice and racial equity work and how our liberation is interdependent. She loves whales, unicorns and has an affinity for magic and shiny objects. Several bows to all her teachers, past and present, I am woven by your many wisdoms.

Sasha Ginnetti

Sasha teaches vinyasa-style classes inspired by the ashtanga yoga system. she challenges her students to move from the gross to the subtle and to investigate ways of drawing inward. Sasha believes that steady yoga practice hones the skills of compassion and equanimity and celebrates the interconnectedness of all beings. her classes emphasize breath awareness, clear alignment, thoughtful sequencing, and the ongoing reciprocity of effort and ease. Sasha moved to new york city in 1997 from New Haven, Connecticut, and began her yoga journey shortly thereafter. in 2005, she completed a 200-hour TT program at Om yoga directed by Cyndi Lee, and in 2016 she completed a 300-hour certification at the shala directed by Kristin Leigh and Barbara Verrochi. Sasha is grateful to all of her teachers and is honored to explore this ancient practice with others. Sasha lives in Brooklyn. She is committed to issues of social justice and to her family.
