Sound Bath - Breathing

About this workshop...

We will practice an active and energizing form of breath work that goes deep beyond words. It brings out the medicine within you. It can help spread light, move stagnation and old stuck energies, emotions and patterns. It can help deepen self-love as well as love and compassion for everything beyond us. It is a potent practice to expand and explore creativity, connectedness, and wonder.

The lungs are the organs of Autumn and are associated with exchange, with reciprocity between the inner and outer worlds. Honoring the shifting seasons- the settling of the yang and the rising of the yin. The lung meridian is also about making intentional space to honor grief and sadness and as well our connection with the divine.

This breath work is offered in conjunction with the cellular cleansing of a sound bath.

Of all the dreams I've pursued this in this life, the one theme in common is an appetite for mystery. Since childhood there has been a nagging feeling that something bigger is just beyond the obviousness of reality. I believe there are endless ways to dance in these liminal spaces, and that one of the most accessible to all people is the non-doingness of sound bath. One of my favorite parts of these gatherings is the potential for collective healing as community, through wordless connection and no expectations.

All that is required is a willingness to relax and explore.

Sound healing goes back thousands of years. Greek physicians used musical instruments to heal patients; tapping into the power of vibration to calm discord in the body and return it to deep coherence. Most indigenous cultures use singing, chanting, and drums as part of the sound healing process as well as a gateway to connection with the spirit world. Westerners are just catching up as studies show clearly the healing effects of intentional sound vibration, finding that it can lower blood pressure and assist the work of the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps our body calm down and recover from stress. All of this sets us up for new growth! Please wear something comfortable and bring your yoga mat. If you do not have a mat, we have extras at the studio.

Wisdom Flow Yoga was founded in 2007 by Jennifer Lynn. With an engineering background, Jennifer appreciated the inner engineering outlined in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. The Wisdom Flow style blends precise physical and mental alignment with free and joyful flow of spirit through the asanas. Structure must align with the divine laws of nature in order to be strong and sustainable, yet too much dogma can pinch off the organic flow of joyful growth. Wisdom Flow Yoga embodies a balance of precise alignments and core-centered movement with a playful dynamic flow that keeps the pathways clean, clear and strong, and the song of the heart coming through. Our classes and trainings offer a set of elegant alignment principles based on the sacred geometry of the human body. We learn to balance these principles in all poses. We learn to ride the flow of breath as the vehicle of awareness to keep us revealing and sharing deeper layers of our true nature. Wisdom Flow Yoga embraces all expressions of love that rise from inclusion, compassion and unity.
