Practicing Sun Salutations in the morning is a wonderful way to awaken your body, to stretch and to say good morning to each of your muscles. Sun Salutations give you a lot of power. It’s an energetic sequence designed to make you strong, powerful, glowing and confident.

Sound Therapy with Crystal Healing Bowls
with Robert and Lata
Your body is in perfect health when your energy is in perfect health — it thrives in a flow of healthy energy.
Crystal bowl therapy, therapeutic yoga, meditative movement, guided imaginary, deep relaxation and breath heals on every level — physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Through the vehicle of sound, one can transcend fear, anxiety, pain, suffering, energetic blocks and so much more. Clarity, knowledge and wisdom flow effortlessly when we are in a peaceful, composed and alert state, and our body heals itself naturally.
Sound vibration and tones from the crystal bowls emit a healing frequency that reverses disease and promotes soul and emotional restoration. We may not fully understand on a rational level, but our cells understand. When you relax and absorb the healing tones and vibrations, your body tunes in the frequency. All of the cells in your body will start to resonate with this healing vibration.
The singing crystal bowls help to still the mind, allowing us to be at peace and in the awareness of our essence — in tune with Pure Consciousness!
The crystal bowls remind us of who we truly are, not separate from the Absolute. As we relax and listen to the singing bowls, our entire brain illuminates allowing the right and left hemispheres to communicate together, new neural pathways develop. Leaving you feeling at peace and content and fully aware and present.
The crystal bowls are singing gifts from Mother Earth herself, made of quartz crystal. They are a modern version of healing tools that have been used since ancient times. As the bowls are tapped and played, their quartz crystal matrix vibrates. This sound vibration spirals outward in an ever-widening circular path that travels to infinity. Not only are you able to hear the tones, but you can actually feel the vibrations. They resonate with the crystalline structure of the body as well as its subtle template also known as the aura. The bowls are tuned to our musical scale and each note correlates with different energy centers in the body. These centers in turn correspond to different body systems, organs and endocrine glands all the way down to the cellular level. Disease is caused by "disharmony" in the body. By allowing the pure melodious vibrations to flow through your body, you begin to harmonize and essentially become more "in tune." This has an overall positive effect on your being.
Please bring a small towel to place on your bolster, and please bring a mat.
Mats can be rented for $1 at the Studio. We also sell mats at the studio $25.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to class. We start promptly, and then the door will be locked.
