Winter Solstice Yin + Sound Bath

130 County Road,Ipswich MA 01938

21 December, 2022

Description

Join us this Winter Solstice for a special event where we will embrace the quiet stillness of winter by slowing down our body and mind to tune in to our inner selves. The first half of the class we will work with yin yoga postures and self-applied acupressure to cultivate a calming effect on our bodies. Yin yoga is a slower form of yoga that focuses on maintaining and increasing range of motion and flexibility by holding postures for 3-5 minutes. Acupressure is a form of massage therapy where we use fingertip pressure to help encourage the free flow of energy through the body. These two approaches are intended to help balance our energy before settling into a restorative posture for the second half of class. We will spend the second half of class absorbing the frequencies of a sound bath while our Reiki practitioners make their way around the room. Through a variety of instruments like Himalayan singing bowls and gong, our sound meditation practitioner facilitates a space designed to help shift awareness away from inner dialogue and to the present moment. Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction, relaxation, and self-healing of the body, mind and spirit. Using gentle touch -- or placing hands just above your body -- our Reiki practitioners will help to guide Reiki energy in a way that promotes balance and healing. Both the sound bath and Reiki will help guide you to a state of awareness that allows healing and rejuvenation of body, mind and spirit. Wear comfortable clothes, bring a yoga mat, blanket and any other props you need to feel supported.
