Want to try meditation but unsure where to begin? Join Gayle V. for a virtual 60-minute exploratory workshop of meditation styles that can be applied to your daily life using Zoom. Meditation techniques will be both discussed and experienced so you'll leave with some tools you can feel confident in using on your own.

Meditation is an excellent addition to a yoga practice. As one uses asana to strengthen and purify the physical body, one must explore meditation as a means to strengthen the neutral observer and cultivate a clarity of mind. Come learn, explore, experience and grow!

**Sign up as space is limited
**Cost is $25

Zoom link will be sent out on Thursday December 12th for this event.

This space is offered to allow important shifts to occur to balance mind, body, and spirit. Please wear comfortable clothing.

In this 2 1/2 hour long class you will learn and practice Nabhi Kriya. There are six kriyas (actions) with a gong-led savasana.  It is designed to strengthen our abdominals to harness the energy that gives us initiative and courage. It’s fire can ignite a desire in us to accomplish great deeds and give us the energy to keep going!

Please intermediate students only (consistent yoga practice of one year or more).

Sound is a powerful tool that can be used to retune our bodies to higher vibrational frequencies and natural rhythms. Our bodies sync up to the harmonic inflections created by gongs, singing bowls and other overtoneemitting instruments. Brain, nervous, endocrine and immune systems shift into parasympathetic mode (rest & digest systems), bringing you to a place where you can relax and the body can repair itself.

Join Gayle V., a trained sound healer, for this restorative evening. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring your yoga mat, bolsters, blankets and any nesting materials to make you comfortable. If you are pregnant, please consult a doctor before participating

Sound is a powerful tool that can be used to retune our bodies to higher vibrational frequencies and natural rhythms. Our bodies actually sync up to the harmonic inflections created by gongs, singing bowls, and other overtone-emitting instruments. Brain, nervous, endocrine and immune systems shift into the parasympathetic mode (our rest and digest system) bringing you to a place to finally relax and the body can repair.

Gayle is a trained sound healer and will use Tibetan singing bowls, Gong, bells, Koshi chimes, and happy drum in this workshop.  Please wear comfortable clothing, bring yoga mat, bolster, blankets, or any nesting materials to make you comfortable, we will have a limited supply (only if held at WG). If you are pregnant, please consult a doctor.
