SOUND BATH on SATURDAY MAY 21st at 2.00 - 3.30pm with Debra
A Sound or Gong Bath is a deeply-immersive, full-body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite gentle yet powerful therapeutic and restorative processes to NURTURE YOUR MIND AND BODY.
Gong baths are a type of inactive meditation, where you “bathe” in the healing vibrations of sound. Using sound as a form of healing dates back to ancient cultures.
A gong bath, or gong meditation, is a form of sound healing designed to offer relaxation, emotional release, and pain relief.
During a gong bath, participants typically lie down and get comfortable on a yoga mat with blankets and pillows.
Participants are invited to passively soak up the benefits of the sound.
It is referred to as a ‘bath’ due to participants being immersed in the vibrations of these instruments during a session.
Cost $18
To reserve your place please email Debra at parkeryoga@comcast.com or text on 720 270 9859. Last date to reserve your spot is May 18th.
