What is Sound Therapy?
Singing bowls can be used for meditation, healing, clearing spaces, and to open chakras. When these centerers are balanced, one’s life becomes more balanced both physically, emotionally and spiritually.
You can be restored to balance by a sound massage with a gong bath and old patterns are broken up. The true Self can emerge in form of a well-disciplined intelligence so that old wounds have a chance to heal.
Sound therapy has also been reported to remove stress, giving peace, and relieving depression.
It is a wonderful for people with physical limitations to experience the relaxation and increases flexibility. Many health benefits are seen with regular yoga practice even if you cannot get onto the floor. Suitable for those who have difficulty getting up and down off the floor.
Using props and blankets to modify traditional yoga poses, these postures are held for extended times, gently opening the body to deep relaxation and healing. The use of Tibetan bowls and the Gong are use to help deepen the student into a more relaxed state of deep relaxation.
A guided meditation class done primarily while resting on the back to clear the mind and create a relaxed and energized experience in the body. Suitable for everyone. Tibetan bowls and Gong are incorporated in my classes to help deepen the experience.
Stretches the connective tissue, rather than conditioning the muscles, the latter being the aim of most other styles of hatha yoga. Experientially, the practice is characterized by passive asanas held for several minutes each.
