Slow Flow & Sound Bath for Grounding & Gratitude
Cultivate gratitude and grounding as you move through a slow flowing Vinyasa practice of backbends and rooted standing poses. Then surrender into deep rest and renewal with a soothing sound bath with singing bowls, gongs, rainsticks, tongue drums, and chimes.
When we feel gratitude, we feel full, abundant, and blessed. When we feel grounded, we feel present, calm, centered, and clear-headed. This slow flowing vinyasa sequence focuses on upper back bends and stable, rooted standing asanas to summon both. An hour-long sound bath follows to further ground, nourish, calm, and balance your body, heart, and mind.
Sound baths promote deep release and relaxation, and entrain our brainwaves to shift into a dreamlike state. We’ll close with an integration practice to help carry that sense of grounding and gratitude with you after the workshop ends.
