Slow Flow & Yin Yoga: Expect a perfect blend of gentle, slow flowing yoga sequences fused with deep, meditative longer pose holds. This balanced practice is perfect for grounding the body and mind, leaving you refreshed and centered. You’ll have a chance to opt in or out to receive hands on Reiki energy healing during an extended Savasana sound bath for the ultimate relaxation. 

A Sound Bath is a lot like a deep, relaxing massage, only using sound. It’s called a Gong Bath or Sound Bath because you’ll be bathed in sound from the Gong. You are simply asked to come along, lie down, get comfortable and let the sound waves wash over you. It is a practice of mediation and relaxation. Everything is vibrating at a certain frequency, whether you hear it or not. Sound frequencies can affect us on a cellular level, influencing how we feel and function. Sound healing practices like Gong Baths use vibrational sound and frequency to help reduce stress, alter consciousness and create a deep sense of peace and well-being for better health.

Cash Bar + Breakfast Sandwiches available for sale by Root Catering and coffee by Ugly Duck Coffee

All proceeds from this event will be donated to Willow Domestic Violence Center
