Sound Bowl Shavasana

Join us for a 1 hour Sound Bowl Shavasana on Monday, December 16th! We are taking the best of both worlds….everyone’s favorite Yoga Pose “Shavasana” (the little nap or rest period at the end of yoga class) AND Sound Bowls for a full immersion of rest, relaxation, and stress relief as you’re bathed in harmonic sound for a full hour!!

Please bring the following items to help with your comfort/support:

• Pillow(s) - Pillows can be really supportive while laying on the floor. You can use one for your head, your hips, under your knees, etc.

• Blankets(s) - people can have a tendency to get cold when they move into the parasympathetic as your core body temp re-regulates.

• A kinder mat - some people enjoy a little more comfort while laying on the floor, feel free to bring a mat of your choice if you’d like! Yoga mats will be provided

• Zero gravity chair - yesssss…some people enjoy their sessions in a comfy recliner or chair. Especially for those individuals who have limited mobility and can NOT get up and down off the floor. Thats ok!! you can enjoy a session as well!! Simply bring your own favorite relining chair! Please make sure its a chair that gives you head support…trust me, this is important as you relax! We have TWO Zero gravity chairs that you’re welcome to use however they are first come, first serve! If you’d like to use one, please arrive a little early to claim a chair vs a yoga mat. :)

• …..a mind and body that’s ready to relax or even fall asleep!

***We have blankets, yoga mats and bolsters if needed!

***Some people feel a little “un-grounded” after a session. Especially if you had a lot come up for you. We have a wonderful Grounding mat your welcome to sit with after the sound bath!

$20 per person and can be paid at the beginning of class!

Why are sound baths “healing”?!

Thats a good question!! Sound Baths often get side railed into the area of woowoo or “way to hippie for me”…. when we need to let go of that notion! Sound, no different than our favorite tunes on the radio, induces feelings depending on the song. These feelings can be happy, sad, angry, etc depending on how it hits you…and your stress receptors. While we all have different levels of stress or trauma, sometimes simply sitting, relaxing, and listening to music can help our brains….and our autonomic nervous system…. relax or release those pent up emotions. This can be in the form of tears, laughter, etc. Just like your favorite work out songs that really get your PUMPED, music and sound help in this area of stress relief. Once you add in “reverberation”, its hits you in a whole new level!!! Ya know the feeling you get when you hear a GONG…and then the tone as it reverberates out?! You get this same resonance during a Sound Bowl session…but for a solid hour!! Our bodies react to this resonance or reverberation in a variety of ways!! Now here’s the science!

Studies have shown that the body responds to sound healing in some pretty amazing ways! Research has shown that sound reverberation or frequencies can have a variety of effects on the brain and body such as: 

• Relaxation - Sound healing can slow brain waves and put the body in a relaxed state. It can also activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the opposite of the stress response.

• Improved mood - Sound healing can influence mood and perception by relaxing the system.

• Pain relief - Sound healing can reduce muscle pain and stiffness by relaxing stress induced muscles, and alleviate menstrual symptoms.

• Improved sleep quality - Sound healing can improve sleep quality. Most individuals report a full nights sleep after a sound bath session!

• Improved immune function - Sound healing can improve immune function by relaxing stress induced muscles, which helps the fascia release its hold on your lymphatic vessels. Once the lymphatics are able to flow, this in turn helps with your immune system as the immune system and our lymphatic system are essentially one in the same in many ways!

• Improved focus - Sound healing can enhance focus. “Not so fun fact”….. when we are in severe, long term stress (sometimes we don’t even realize it), our sympathetic nervous system becomes “larger” in the brain because it thinks you’re in danger. It thinks you NEED to always be on edge and on guard for the next thing to happen. When this happens, it takes away from the function of our hippocampus. Our hippocampus is responsible for memory, especially short term memory. So as we get stressed, have chronic stress or have had a trauma response due to trauma, our hippocampus essentially shirks to make way for your personal safety by being able to fight, flee, fawn or freeze…. for safety instead of retaining short term memory. This is a primal response in our body to keep us safe. Our body doesn’t know if we are being chased by a tiger or if we had betrayal trauma. Its feels the trauma the same.

• Heightened spiritual awareness - Sound healing can heighten spiritual awareness! Feel free to pray or enjoy your session as you deeply connect to your spiritual beliefs as you are called to!

Sound healing can work by: 

• Stimulating the release of different neurotransmitters and hormones 

• Modulating neural activity 

• Vibrating tactile sensors in the body 

• Stimulating the vagus nerve, which can help if it's “stuck” to get it “un-stuck”

• and so much more!!
