Description

The inspiring Spring Equinox energy is encouraging you to be reborn. Embrace this new beginning with a ceremony to feel connected and alive. Spring According to traditional Chinese medicine, spring is the time for us to reach outward, develop deeper roots and remain flexible in the wind. In the body, that means paying attention to your spine, limbs and joints, as well as muscles, ligaments and tendons. It also means paying attention to your liver, which works to detoxify the blood and make bile to help metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Element The Spring time is associated with the wood element, it is about renewal, awakening and rebirth. The spirit of the Liver helps us organize and coordinate our ideas and visions into actions and change. The Liver is in charge of the smooth flow of Qi (vital energy) (emotional/physical) and the emotion associated is anger. Movement To gently get the body open and flowing, we will be performing very simply asanas (or yoga poses) that is appropiate for any level, no yoga background required. In Elemental Yoga we use the meridian lines to activate the energies of each organ and in the case of spring the Gall Bladder and Liver meridians. Through asana practice we can bring energy to these organs to balance the space element. Meditation Once the body has been stretched, you will be guided to lay down in a comfortable yet meditative position to experience the Crystal singing bowls. In this mediative state, your body will begin it's own internal healing processes in a gentle, yet powferul experience. What to bring: - Yoga Mat or Towel to lay on - Wear clothing layers, to either protect you from the sun, or it may easily be chillier than expected - Bring an extra blanket to lay over you during the sound bath - Wear a hat or sunscreen to protect your face from the sun - An eye covering for Savasana during the sound bath is a great addition to have! - Any additional comfort items your may need such as: an extra blanket pillow, scarf, crystals, notebook - Take time to enjoy the beach afterwards <3 If you prefer to pay through venmo, please send the ticket amount plus your email and date of the event to :@Kristina-Welch Please feel free to connect with me on instagram @yoginatina What is a Sound Bath? A Sound Bath is a deeply- immersive, full-body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite gentle yet powerful therapeutic and restorative processes to nurture the mind and body. After a few minutes of guided focus on the breath, the remainder of the experience is filled with different sounds and frequencies being introduced in succession. The sounds are created by a variety of overtone-emitting instruments including tuning forks, Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, shruti box, and tingsha bells. When you sink into a Sound Bath and guide your awareness to your listening, you allow your brain waves to slow, shifting from a more active state to a more relaxed state, or even a dreamlike state. The sounds introduced during a Sound Bath are an invitation into a deeper state of consciousness, an opportunity to unplug from external stimuli and to gain perspective on what’s going on within you. The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, and explore self-inquiry and self-discovery.
