SOUND BATHING — A Winter Relaxation with Patti Pellerito

It’s true, basking in the sunshine for a little time each day is very beneficial. Likewise, having our body bathed in harmonious sounds and waves from instruments such as Tibetan Singing Bowls, each one keyed to the energy centers or chakras centers of the body and Planetary Gongs, tuned to frequencies from the cosmos, provide nutrition for the nervous system.

I invite you to bask in waves of peace, heightened awareness and relaxation of body and mind. Come and simply relax, release tension from your body and ease your mind as you lie down and allow the tones and energy to wash through you.

4–5:30 pm / $15

Enjoy a longer class and expand your practice with Mike Shabsin the fourth Saturday of every month. If you are new to the practice of yoga, this session will illustrate how to be stable and comfortable in your asana. If you are already enjoying a regular yoga practice, this session will challenge you physically while also reminding you of the fundamentals.

During the workshop, we will explore the meaning of “practice” and how it relates to our actions. By engaging in self-study, each of us will shine light on how we are transformed by this beautiful and powerful practice.
