Yoga Nidra (Live Music)

Limited Capacity seats available

Guided Meditation, or Yoga Nidra, brings one from the outer world of sensations through various visualization practices towards a revealing of one's true nature. Take a break from the physical performance of asana and delve deep into the world of your mind. We will set samkalpas, or intentions, planting seeds of transformation as part of this ancient practice. Be prepared for bliss and clarity to unfold in this sadhana of yoga derived from tantric visualization. This special class will be held on beach as you will snuggle by a bonfire! Brings blankets and dress warm as you feel deep relaxation resting on the sand breathing in the salt air feeling the warmth of the fire and hearing the ocean waves!

Gong Sound Bath: Being of Sound Mind and Body

Limited Capacity seats available

During this presentation, participants will learn some of the science behind sound healing - in particular, the gongs. The vibrations of the gong, an ancient therapeutic instrument, help release negative emotions and fears that can cause illness, disease, and blockages in the body, allowing the recipient to de-stress, balance the body and brain, improve health, increase productivity, and gain an overall feeling of well-being. A 30-minute gong meditation is included, and recipients will experience first-hand how sound actually affects their bodies and their brains in just a short amount of time. Some of the benefits will also be revealed after the session (better sleep, calmer presence, etc.). There really is no ideal way to explain how a gong meditation feels. It must be experienced!

Total Immersion (TM): Yoga Nidra + Binaural Beats (Sponsored by Sound Off)

Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.

This is the Total Immersion Healing Journey™, which combines the ancient and modern sciences of meditation and sound healing for the ultimate experience of peace and expansion.

Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation system that cleanses and expands the consciousness and energy, while also healing the nervous system. Binaural beats are a healing modality, delivered through Sound Off™ wireless LED headphones, which synchronize the brain hemispheres through specific frequencies of beats in each ear. The result of this powerful combination of modalities, along with basic asana and breath awareness, sets the stage for a deep and transformative experience that has been described as something akin to a shamanic journey.

The magic behind this scientific and spiritual journey is the fact that when we can change the vibration within our brains, we can shift to more positive states and experience an increase in love, joy, and wellness in all areas of our lives.

This class is sponsored through Sound Off: www.soundoffexperience.com
