Meditation + Mindfulness Classes
Sound Meditation for Realignment
Allow yourself to reset each Hump Day with sacred sound. Each session will open with a meditation to help activate energy centers in the body and allow for a time to set intentions, followed by an short experience in which the body is literally ‘bathed in sound’, created by a variety of sound healing instruments such as the Himalayan Singing Bowls, and chimes to support you through this journey. This accessible restorative practice uses the power of sound, intention, and silence to tap into your parasympathetic nervous system and support a lush layer of rejuvenation. The sound meditation creates a safe space for clarity, realignment and self-inquiry. VIRTUAL-ONLY
