YIN & RESTORATIVE YOGA

Yin and Restorative yoga are similar in that poses are done close to the ground, slow and mindfully, relaxing the muscles to release and heal.

Yin poses are held for 3 to 5 minutes, Restorative Yoga holds poses for 5 to 20 minutes. We are able to develop awareness of how the tissues adapt to a shape, also how the mind adapts. Restorative uses time to help you really drop in and relax deeply. We'll be experiencing both starting with Yin and finishing with Restorative.

We'll be using bolsters and props to help cradle and support the body, this helps find your edge while bringing in softness, we'll be making beautiful shapes with your beautiful body to invite in space and release tension and tightness. If a shape does not work for you we have plenty of alternative options.

SOUND IMMERSION

Sound healing, which is also known as sound therapy, has been practiced since ancient times. The concept of sound therapy is based on the idea that every part of your body creates a vibration which resonates in a certain way. The underlying concept of sound healing therapy is the notion that everything in the universe is vibrating at a certain frequency. Therefore, disease may be caused by an imbalance in your body’s natural frequency. Sound healing therapy works by sending specific sound wave frequencies through the body to help bring the specific organ to its healthy resonant frequency. Therefore, restoring your body’s natural balance to help you heal.

Crystal singing bowls are made of pure crystal quartz and when played they produce magical pure harmonic tones. The tones induce altered states of consciousness as they move through every cell of the body. When immersed in these vibrations our awareness expands and we enter a deep meditative state where blocked emotions are released in a profound and positive way.

Our Bodies including bones, DNA and blood all have a crystalline structure. The human body therefore has a natural affinity too quartz, so the pure tones resonate greatly with the physical and subtle bodies facilitating profound healing. 

Key benefits 

• Stress reduction: The sound waves from the bowls can help reduce stress and anxiety 
• Improved mood: The sound waves can help improve mood by reducing negative emotions and increasing positive ones 
• Improved sleep: The sound waves can help improve sleep and induce a meditative state 
• Improved mental clarity: The sound waves can help improve mental clarity and focus 
• Improved physical health: The sound waves can help improve blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate 
• Improved emotional health: The sound waves can help improve emotional health by reducing depression, fatigue, tension, anger, and confusion 
• Improved creativity: The sound waves can help improve creativity by promoting a mental reset 

How do crystal sound bowls work?

• The sound waves from the bowls can produce binaural beats, which can help synchronize brain wave frequencies 
• The sound waves can act on the body's energy field, causing relaxation 
• The sound waves can bring the body's energy centers back into balance 

The frequency of 432 Hz is particularly beneficial for helping the listener to become more peaceful, creative, and calm.
