Sound Healing and Yoga Nidra

Lacey Firefly welcomes Kristen Rubis offering sound healing with singing bowls combined with Yoga Nidra meditation by Eric Quinn. Together sound healing and yoga nidra can deepen meditation offering a break from stress, re-energizing our heart, mind and body. As tension melts we come to relaxed awareness that allows us to find what we need for healing and self care.

Class begins with breath work and meditation accompanied with wind chimes and then moves into restorative yoga to release the day’s tension and prepare for meditation. During the meditation you just breathe and listen. Then to integrate and relax even deeper we end with a Sound Healing Bath. We suggest bringing an extra mat or pad for comfort during meditation and water for after class.

Join Kristen and Eric for an afternoon of renewal and relaxation.
