LET GO: SOUND BATH + NIDRA
Saturday January 18th, 7:00-8:30pm
Shakti Vinyasa Yoga, Ballard
Let go and experience a deep state of rest and relaxation through the sound of crystal singing bowls, breath work, and yoga nidra.
During a sound bath, sound and vibrations are used to adjust the breath and brain waves to a more relaxed and meditative state. It is in this meditative state that you will be able to access a deeper state of consciousness through yoga nidra; otherwise known as “yogic sleep.” Through nidra you will be guided to various parts of your consciousness, body, and breath. The practice will end with the sound of pure silence.
Join us for the evening, let go of stress, and leave feeling calm and refreshed.

CRYSTAL SINGING BOWL SOUND BATH
Friday January 31st, 7:30-8:45pm
Sangha Yoga, Register HERE
Join Michelle for an evening immersed in the power of sound.
During a sound bath, sound and vibration are used to adjust your breath, heart rate and brain waves from one pace to another. While experiencing different tones, tempos and patterns, the listener naturally shifts from an active, waking state to a more relaxed, meditative state. The benefits can include increased levels of relaxation in the body, ease and comfort in breathing, reduced feelings of anxiety or physical pain, mental clarity and restful sleep.
The session opens with a seated meditation, bringing awareness to your body, mind and breath. Then, as you rest in Savasana, I use crystal singing bowls and chimes, tuned to resonate with each energy center of the body, to create a space of deep relaxation and rejuvenation. The session closes with a period of pure silence, allowing the simplicity of stillness to reveal deeper feelings of clarity, presence and peace.
Please wear warm, comfortable clothing that allows you to stretch and relax. No yoga experience necessary.

RESTORATIVE YOGA + SOUND BATH
Sunday, March 15th, 6:45-8:15pm
Body Reflects, Registration Coming Soon
For decades, people have relaxed and meditated to soothing sounds, including recordings of waves lapping, desktop waterfalls and wind chimes. Research and experimentation have enhanced and honed sound therapy to be an effective method of healing. Also known as vibrational medicine, the practice employs the vibrations of singing bowls to go beyond relaxation and stimulate healing.
This caring evening begins with gentle and restorative yoga poses led by meditation specialist Brenda Umana. These long-held poses allow the body to return to pre-stress levels by balancing hormones, relieving tensions, and reducing the heart rate. During the poses, and an extended Savasana, Michelle guides you through a sound journey using crystal singing bowls and chimes, supporting the body and mind to restore and heal. The session closes with a quiet guided meditation.
