A sound bath is an improvised concert played with the intent of releasing stress, and can facilitate energetic shifts in your mind and body to bring you into a more balanced state of being. Participants lay in a comfortable position on the floor (savasana), while Daniella plays the crystal bowls and gongs, accompanied by her vocal toning. You will be bathed in healing vibrations that help entrain your brain into a deeply relaxed state where physical, mental, and spiritual healing can take place.

please bring your own yoga mat. if you are sure you want pillows and blankets to make your experience cozy, please bring some from home! We have props, but the bath typically benefits from having more than we can supply for everyone.

Self Release (SMFR) helps mobilize and hydrate tissue while easing tension, releasing trigger points and helping unwind unhealthy patterns. Join Lara for a 90 minute SMFR and yin yoga to extended practice to support your body’s own self-healing nature. Lara will share about the science of fascia (the connective tissue of the body), explain how it can limit our range of motion as well as affect our physical well being. Using smfr balls and blocks she will illustrate the underlying importance of MFR in your self-care routine.

The practice will begin with a several softening yin yoga poses for an initiation into the world of connective tissue and reset of the central nervous system.
