SOUND THERAPY & YOGA

Sound Therapy & Yoga

Sound and vibration therapies are an ancient form of regeneration where the mind and body dive into the meditative state. The harmonic resonance of the gong sound induces the brain to relax. Tibetan singing bowls can relieve stress on all levels, eliminate toxins by the body, stimulate the immune system, and produce beneficial changes in brain waves. Used in many cultures this healing practice takes this method a step further by using sound and vibrations to possibly heal physical aches and pains, and help manage mental and emotional issues.

Poor mood and elevated anxiety are linked to disease. Systems such as mindfulness-based meditations have shown promise in inducing the body’s physiological response in relaxation, including lower blood pressure to counter the fight-or-flight response. However, many people lack the time, patience, and discipline required to learn meditation. This isn’t the case with singing bowl therapy: it is a form of relaxation and stress relief that does not require a steep learning curve or great deal of discipline to utilize potentially huge benefits to human wellness and health.

This experience is quite unique and powerful and does not require you to disrobe. Like a conductor preparing an orchestra to tune for a symphony to follow, vibration/sound treatment trains your brain and nervous system to deeply relax and therefore attain its own healing zone.

Sound therapy available by appointment on select days.

The first noted usage of tuning forks by a medical doctor for integrative therapeutics was in Padua Italy. That favorite song or sound has an effect on you because of the frequency and vibration. Hand formed bowls and tuning forks are placed around you as well as upon you for specific work while you are resting on a massage table. Those vibration tools are used in biofield tuning, a form of sound therapy to stimulate balance in specific areas and all over the nervous system. Biofield tuning is based on the premise that the human biofield -the energy field that surrounds and permeates our bodies is incredibly connected with our conscious and subconscious mind, including all of our memories. All physical, mental and emotional disorders can be perceived as a “dissonance” in our energy fields. Biofield tuning is able to diminish and resolve this dissonance and in doing so alleviate and even irradiate the corresponding physical, mental and emotional symptoms.

This all-levels class emphasizes stretching of the body’s connective tissues while enjoying the rejuvenation and healing properties of the salt cave through guided breathwork and meditation.

Salt Cave Yoga Flow

Increase body awareness and stamina by focusing on breath work and the principles of alignment, to create a solid foundation for a continued and/or expansive yoga practice. Inhaling the cave’s salty air will allow the absorption of allergens, toxins, and foreign substances that will then exit your system with each exhalation. The flow of yoga postures and yogic breath techniques, combined with the salt’s negative ions, will help improve your mood, balance your energy level, and reduce stress. You may also notice relief from common sinus and respiratory problems, such as allergies.
