There are times when doing more is not the most useful starting point. Restorative yoga and meditation offer a different kind of inquiry: noticing how you settle, where your attention goes, and what it means to give a practice your presence.
Begin where you are
You may be looking for a gentler way to engage with movement, space for contemplation, or guidance in developing a personal practice. You do not need to arrive with a specific outcome in mind. A conversation about your interests and experience helps establish a useful starting point.
Gentle movement and attentive rest
Sessions may bring together gentle movement, stillness, and contemplative attention, according to what is appropriate for the individual. The practice is not presented as a fixed sequence. The emphasis is on participation and observation, with room to adjust and ask questions.
A personal rather than prescribed approach
Achmed brings his movement background and longstanding interest in spiritual inquiry to the work. His direct style invites you to notice your own experience and engage thoughtfully, rather than measure yourself against an ideal state of calm or a promised result.
Discuss your session
Private restorative yoga and meditation sessions are $90 for 60 minutes. Contact Achmed to confirm the format and any practical preparation. If you are considering an online appointment, ask whether it is suitable for the work you want to explore. In-person sessions are arranged at the Camp Verde office.
FIND YOUR STARTING POINT
A conversation can help you choose.
A free introductory phone call offers a chance to ask questions and discuss an appropriate service. For a more focused starting point, the separate Transformational Navigation orientation is a one-hour session for $90.
Payment accepted: Cash or Zelle. Payment arrangements are confirmed directly with Achmed.

Reflecting on yoga, dance, and creative movement classes
One has only to attend one of Achmed's classes in yoga, dance, or creative movement, to realize his unique ability to create a participatory learning experience...an experience, which evokes a maximum effort and response from each and every student. A class or individual session with Achmed thus becomes a journey of transformative experience for the individuals involved. Achmed's unusual ability to combine his strength of character with a deep empathy for his participants, creates an environment for positive change...an environment in which each and every individual can achieve their desired objectives...be it relaxation, stress release, creative movement, or healing.
