Yoga, Breath, and Sound
Treat yourself to a morning of deep relaxation. The stress and
strain of life can lead to a buildup of tension that weighs us
down and keeps our bodies and minds from functioning at optimal
levels. This event will include gentle yoga and breathing
exercises to open your body and mind. Let's release unnecessary
tension, allowing your body to function in a more natural,
relaxed state, enhancing its ability to heal. We will
transition seamlessly from yoga into an extended lying-down
sound relaxation/meditation accompanied by ancient tibetan
bowls. The sound vibrations of the bowls will wash away any
worries and concerns, leaving you feeling light, clear,
peaceful, and refreshed. Bring yoga mat if you have one. Suggested donation: $25-35.
