Body & Sound: A Yin Yoga Experience

Service Description

This multi-sensory experience offers a chance to step out of your daily routine. Body and sound combines supported yin yoga, essential oils and sonic immersion with sound bowls, chimes and nature evoking instruments to create an experience for you to stretch, relax, reset your nervous system and be present in your body while your spirit journeys. Yin Yoga is designed to stretch the fascia (the web that holds us together internally) and ligaments in our bodies. Pose holds are three to five minutes to encourage the fascia to release and the time spent holding these poses is similar to meditation. There is no standing as all poses are on the ground. Holding gentle supportive yoga poses while being immersed in vibrational and soothing sounds is regenerative and relaxing. This combination can reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep and create a deeper sense of well being. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate to the degree you are comfortable with, you may choose to just relax and enjoy the sound bath. Please wear clothes you are comfortable moving and stretching in–sweats, yoga clothes. It may be useful to bring socks and a sweater layer to be extra cozy.
