When the body is cluttered with stress, tension, and disease, this clouds the mind and the ability to connect with the inner self. The physical freedom attained from the Yoga exercises increases one’s ability to sit with silence and joyful observation.” simple_quote_author=”– Gaia.com | Yoga Exercises – Defining Asanas (Yoga Poses)”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]We begin with a seated pranayama meditation to calm the body and gather all of your awareness into a unified state of being. The rhythmic nature of conscious breathing calms the vibratory bodies and allows “higher volumes of oxygen to reach the body’s cells and tissues” (Chopra.com).

From this complete state of awareness, we dive deeper into our corporeal existence. Under the cosmic setting of blacklights, we draw our attention to our skin, muscles, tendons, connective tissues, and depths of our physical experience to recognize where dissonance dwells within our bodies. Through slow, meditative movements, we gently encourage our bodies to relax and let go of stress, providing space within our bodies to open the flow of energies. These gentle, intuitive movements help your container of consciousness become supple and able to relax in Savasana (corpse pose, some say the most challenging of all poses) during the sound healing frequencies. It is an all-levels flow designed to provide a physical surrendering while preparing the mind for the meditation.

Release and relax as you surrender into stillness on your mat and are guided through a Yoga Nidra meditation and into the gong bath. While in this cosmic, healing ether, you have the opportunity to release any stale or damaging burden. The power of the crescendos is where the most amount of release can be experienced as the waves of vibrations wash over and through you, cleansing you of energetic burdens. We will ground you through a variety of earth instruments, inviting you to rejoin your body refreshed, balanced, and free of the unnecessary.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”547″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]
