Ground in Stillness, Soften into Sound
Begin with a gentle yin yoga practice led by Shelby, using long-held postures to release tension and open the body. After settling into deep stillness, transition into a restorative sound journey with the healing tones of crystal singing bowls.
Join us each month for Kirtan together!
No experience or instruments are needed. Our Kirtan is chanting (singing) mantras with music in a call and response style that originated in India. It’s uplifting, joyful as well as meditative, and grounding. Bring your open heart and join in the community!
All proceeds donated to Yoga Gives Back in honour of International Women's Day.
At this time of renewal, let us gather together in sacred, safe space to invite ourselves to gently emerge into the season of Spring. Our two hours together will focus on tending to our precious nervous system, unwinding held tensions from our body-mind-heart-being, and awakening our attention to the marvel and beauty of embodied living. ** SPACES ARE LIMITED : PLEASE PRE-REGISTER
