Sound Bath and Restorative Yoga Experience

Lea Bender and Katie Down create a healing, comfortable and welcoming environment for deep listening, stress-reduction, connection, and a sense of well-being that resonates in the body and mind for many hours or even days following the event.

The Sound Bath and Restorative Yoga Experience is accessible to everyone. We can accommodate and adapt the experience for a variety of spaces and physical needs.

What is a Sound Bath?

Sound baths are sonic meditations incorporating a variety of resonant drone instruments such as singing bowls. Our brain waves have frequencies, and during the sound bath our body and mind begin to synchronize with the frequencies of the instruments. During this synchronization, the body’s central nervous system re-calibrates and the energy begins to shift at which point one may experience deep relaxation or an Alpha-Theta brainwave state.

What happens during a Sound Bath/Restorative Yoga evening?

Yoga Instructor Lea Bender will gently guide participants through meditation, breath practices and restorative yoga postures designed to relieve stress and deepen inner awareness. Licensed Music Therapist Katie Down will create a live soundscape using a variety of crystal bowls and other instruments that resonate sonic frequencies that will help to calm and balance your nervous system and deepen the meditation and yoga experience that you are guided through. All postures and practices are optional.
