Celebrate the darkness, the Equinox, and nature with us! We look to the moon for our thematic DARK Yoga and breathwork concert with giant gongs, live instruments & drone and a guided journey deep into the womb of creation and back into your skin in the here and now.
As we embark on this vibrational healing journey, with many giant gongs, and a long deep sound bath, we will feel into our shadows and brace the darkness of the season. Feel into your body, mind and spirit as the days get shorter and darker with yin & SLOW yoga, AND go deeper into our minds with guided transcendental breath work.
We dive into emotions and the space between breath as well as our own cycles, life, emotions, love, bliss, summer, winter, fall.
With loving awareness.
With:
-Yoga Teacher & breathwork guide, Koreen V.
-Frank DeCristina, "The Gong Guy" on the Giant Gongs and sound instruments
-Nathanial Tuna also on the gongs and good vibes.
Our practice will be about progressive darkness in balance with the light in our hearts. This will be literal, as the room will become darker and darker and we will be using blindfolds to go even deeper into sensory deprivation, to heighten our other senses to feel into light, vibration, healing. And it will be figurative, as you are guided on your own creative journey in your mind's eye during the soundscape with an option to blindfold to go deeper.
Expect a giant long yummy gong bath. Many giant gongs and multiple sound healers with various instruments to 5D landscape sensation.

More infö for seekers:
This is a journey. We start with a slow guided movement, and then slide into stillness alongside a deep & vibrational Gongs & sounds bath w singing bowls & other healing sound instruments. Yin, & slow fluid movement and stretching included. All levels. Experience your breath, body, mind and darkness to celebrate and integrate the season.
Let yourself be guided through postures and breath techniques. All levels and yoga experience optional. Easy to follow and options to all abilities. From slow flow to long reclining yin yoga poses, and some intuitive movement.
Absorb healing sounds. Feel it in your bones! The soundscape will be full of depth and feeling - mountain peaks of vibrations, drone into feelings of balance like a ship on a calm sea. Watch where you mind takes you. This is the kind of sound you can feel in your bones and has potential for deep healing. Therapeutic sound impacts our nervous system, slowing the heart, brain and respiratory rates down to induce a state of deep relaxation and peace. When the brain waves and body are synchronised, balance can be restored and stress relieved.
We will end class with lights and candles slowly being lit. Reemerging from the dark.
You will be guided back to the light and your sense of sight. At this time you will have an opportunity to grab your journal to sketch, write, process and integrate your journey, your insights, and your heart's desire for the autumn cycle we are entering, riding upon our Mother Earth ship - Fall.
Why? Connecting to the darkness, and remaining open, welcoming all it has to teach is a very powerful skill to harness your full life-force & potential. Our knee jerk reaction is to turn on a light, to flee the darkness, to 'fix' any sense of discomfort we experience, But what if we sit into it. Instead of asking yourself what can we do to be better, what if we sit with how it is, exactly as it is now?!?!
Remember, as Pema Chrodron said, You are the sky, everything else is just the weather.
