Friday Night Live: Jivamukti & Sound Bath
A guided Jivamukti vinyasa yoga class that seamlessly transitions into a live-music meditative and healing sound bath. Expect a well-rounded flowing practice designed to make you move and sweat as well as encourage curiosity and spiritual activation that flows gently into a long-form sound bath using sound healing instruments including antique singing bowls from the Himalayas imbued with healing mantras. The frequency of the bowls create vibrational sound harmonics that impact the sympathetic nervous system by engaging the relaxation reflex, (and disrupting the pain reflex) creating an overall deep sense of well being, meditation and relaxation.

Yoga & Creativity: Tune Into Your Creative Pulse
Unlock your creative flow by tuning into your intuition! In this immersive 2-hour workshop, we'll blend gentle yoga and guided meditation with creative exercises designed to help you access your deeper creativity - those subtle nudges and sparks of inspiration that guide your authentic expression.
We'll start with a grounding yoga sequence suitable for all levels, focusing on movement and presence. As we transition into restorative poses, we'll create a safe container for the subconscious mind to surface, allowing deeper insights and creative impulses to emerge naturally. You'll be guided through creative prompts (writing, drawing, or simply imagining - no experience needed) that help you listen deeply to yourself and translate intuition into embodied expression.
This workshop is perfect for artists, writers, professionals, or anyone looking to tap into their creative side, make decisions with more clarity, decide whether the action matches the authentic self, or simply reconnect with themselves in a nurturing, supportive environment.
Bring: A yoga mat, journal & pen

Sound Healing 101: Awakening the Healer Within
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. If you've ever had an inner call to work with energy to heal others, whether from a subtle whisper from within or an intuitive pull towards helping others, this workshop will provide you with the necessary basics to move from student to healer. In order to awaken the healer within, you will become more attuned to the subtleties of energy, emotion, and empathy, in order to lead a transformational session and step into the sacred service of sound healing.
The workshop will include a lecture on the concept and foundations of Nada Yoga, the science and spirituality of sound healing, the benefits of awakening the healer within, first with the ability to heal yourself and then others, and also numerous ways to incorporate sound healing into your daily life. Further, the workshop will include practical lessons using Himalayan singing bowls to provide rest, relaxation and to treat everyday maladies from migraines to chronic pain, as well as emotional trauma by focusing on the subtle body energetic channels and chakras. In order to create a low bar of entry into this healing world, this workshop has been designed so that most of the lessons will only require one (1) singing bowl to provide the necessary energetic healing, however, some lessons will require multiple singing bowls. Lastly, there will be lots of time scheduled to practice with each other in order to gain confidence and wisdom.
You do not need to own your own singing bowl as there will be plenty of singing bowls to share for group practice, but if you do have your own bowl, feel free to bring it along with you. We will also discuss the desired qualities to look for when purchasing a singing bowl. Please note, the primary focus in this workshop will be on Himalayan metal-alloy (aka Tibetan) singing bowls, and not crystal bowls.
The purpose of the workshop is for you to unlock the mysteries of healing through sound vibrations and to leave feeling like you have the tools to lead your own sound healing session.
