This immersive workshop offers a balanced journey of movement, relaxation, and mindfulness, combining active yoga, hands-on adjustments, sound healing, pranayama, and meditation to foster deep relaxation and grounding.
Part 1: Yoga Class with Hands-On Assists
Theme: Alignment and Deepening Postures
The session starts with a gentle warm-up to prepare the body,
followed by a series of foundational and flowing asanas focused on
alignment and refinement. Hands-on adjustments are offered
throughout the practice to deepen participants' postures safely and
mindfully, with opportunities for partner work to enhance
awareness. The class gradually transitions into restorative
postures, setting the stage for deep relaxation.
Part 2: Sound Bath for Relaxation
Theme: Deep Rest and Healing
Participants are guided into a comfortable resting position
(Savasana or a restorative pose) while a sound bath unfolds: The
vibrations from the instruments promote deep relaxation, reduce
stress, and enhance mindfulness. This segment encourages
participants to release both mental and physical tension.
Part 3: Pranayama and Meditation
Theme: Centering and Grounding
After the sound bath, participants are led into a seated position
for a pranayama practice. This practice helps restore balance and
focus before transitioning into a short guided meditation. The
meditation fosters awareness of the breath and body, supporting
integration of the experience.
Key Takeaways for Participants:
- The relaxation and reset achieved through the combination of yoga and sound healing.
- The benefits of pranayama and meditation for grounding, focus, and integration.
