Sound Healing 101
with Chris Hill
Explore the science of sound healing! This workshop is for anyone who has ever had a sound healing session or sound bath and is curious to learn more about Nada Yoga (the yoga of sound), sound healing in general, or to go deeper into your own journey on the path of healing yourself and/or others.
All our classes and teachers aim to support and deepen your practice by sharing all 8 limbs of yoga as a way of life. From basic flow to begin your practice or advanced 2/3 classes to challenge yourself, you will stretch and strengthen your body, awaken your spirit, and calm and quiet your mind for a wholistic approach to Yoga and wellness that addresses the whole person with the intention of being of benefit to our world. In nearly every offering you can expect expert teachings to embody Yoga’s essential philosophy of union with the Self and the universe through asana, pranayama, mantra, mudra, meditation and relaxation.
