Sound Bath for Rest and Rejuvenation

Experience the transformative power of a sound bath that can help ease anxiety and depression, and it can work through any feelings of grief non-verbally. 

To Note: There is an AC-unit at Maitri Yoga, but we may be turning it off for the hour-long sound bath event. Fans will be left on, and to incorporate this breeze into the sound bath, we’ll begin together by drifting into oceanic calm with sea-inspired tones, followed by an immersive sequence of singing bowls, gong, and chimes for chakra rebalancing.

Let the healing sounds guide your energy upward from root to crown, gently releasing what no longer serves you. As the session flows back downward, the grounding, rejuvenating energy helps you feel centered and whole again.

Instruments used are: ocean drum, gong, crystal singing bowls, metal singing bowls, chimes, shruti box, and voice. A yoga mat, blanket, and bolster are provided, but feel free to bring anything that you would like for extra comfort such as a pillow and water. Feel free to bring a journal and pen to write things down if you'd like. Andrea will sometimes move around the resonant acoustic space with her instruments so you will have a sonic experience no matter where you sit or lie down. Please arrive 5 minutes before 7:30pm to get settled and comfortable.
