Join us for a heartwarming ceremony filled with yoga, soothing sounds and delicious food to nourish your soul.
Embrace the warmth and yang energy of summer with a focus on the Heart and Small Intestine energy channels. We will begin with warming hatha yoga postures to strengthen the core, heart opening backbends and slow flow sun salutations to build heat in the body. These will be balanced by cooling, longer held yin postures to re-balance our energy prior to a healing gong sound bath enabling a deeply relaxing healing experience. By moving slowly, staying in each pose for a long time and placing attention on our breath, the mind also slows down and comes closer to stillness and clarity.
During the yin yoga practice, Tibetan singing bowls may be placed on your body (back or belly) and you will feel the vibrations flowing throughout the body. An 111hz tuning fork might be placed on more the bones to increase the healing effect.
Following the yoga, you will be immersed in a gong sound bath to help you reach deeper levels of relaxation and surrender in the postures. Vibrating with the water in your body, including in your connective tissues, it will remove anything that’s not of the highest vibration, thereby allowing you to release what may not serve you. Experiencing sounds help us release of chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin, a natural painkiller and hormone which allows us builds trust, improves our mood and aids creativity and healing.
The fire element is also related to the tongue, so we will close with a light seasonal cooling snack to nourish and balance our digestive fire made by experienced pastry chef Greta Zilyte.
