Sound Bath with Healing Singing Bowls

Sound Bath with Healing Sounds lead by Cesar Lujan

Why is it called a sound bath?

The phrase “sound bath” is often used to refer to an experience where you allow instrument-produced sound to “wash” over you and encourage a relaxed, meditative, or therapeutic state of mind.

Waves and vibrational sounds of soothing music from crystal bowls & echoing sound from traditional wind and percussion instruments, may help with stress, fatigue, and depression symptoms, according to one studyTrusted Source.

Since stress is associated with other conditions like diabetes and heart disease, engaging in sound baths might be a good preventive strategy to reduce the risk of chronic conditions, too.

Research into this subject is limited, but there have been studies that indicate a sound bath may improve your mood and release tension in your body, among other

Soul Traveler - After the 8 Limbs of Yoga

In this chaotic world, where heverything is running so rapidly, most of us often forget about giving time to our inner selves. The noise of this world stops us from focusing on our real goals and aspirations. There are many times when we get confused in life and feel that everything is falling apart. This is the time when we really need to deep dive into ourselves because all the answers to your questions lie within us. . The best way to deep dive into ourselves is by letting everything go and focusing on the self and resetting the button of expectations and beliefs. Letting go to start again and explore who we really are. This is a great way to explore our spirituality and travel our soul.

In this workshop we will learn about the 8 Limbs of Yoga or Patanjali's eight-fold path which offers guidelines for a meaningful and purposeful life. Get to know this prescription for moral and ethical conduct, and self-discipline. They direct attention toward one’s health; and they help us to acknowledge the spiritual aspects of our nature.

Who is this workshop for : Anyone who wants to dive deeper into the meaning of yoga, learn about the other pillars of yoga not only the postures, connect your yoga practice, postures to the teachings of the 8 Limbs, how can you use these ancient texts in your daily life and enrich your life.

Workshop Instructor:

Meg Long , MPH, E- RYT

Meg Long began practicing yoga in 2003 while serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Kenya, East Africa. She found the meditative aspect of yoga helped to maintain her mental well-being while she worked with high risk populations in extremely stressful environments. Throughout her career in the field of Public Health, yoga continues to be a strong foundation for staying motivated, focused, and healthy. Her love of helping others through difficult times led to a transition into teaching, initially through trauma informed yoga for community members recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. She also found that the meditative aspect of yoga helps with both emotional and physical healing.
