VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCIES are an EXPERIENCE
The experience begins with each person lying down or seated in a comfortable position, often with a blanket and an eye mask. After a few minutes of guided focus on the breath, the remainder of the experience is filled with different sounds and frequencies being introduced in succession. The sounds are created by a variety of overtone-emitting instruments including tuning forks, gongs, shruti box, Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, chimes, and voice.
When you sink into a Sound Bath and guide your awareness to your listening, you allow your brain waves to slow, shifting from a more active state to a more relaxed state, or even a dreamlike state.
The sounds introduced during a Sound Bath are an invitation into a deeper state of consciousness, an opportunity to unplug from external stimuli and to gain perspective on what’s going on within you. The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, and explore self-inquiry and self-discovery
BODY+MIND+NATURE
The unique approach to combining body+mind+nature.
In our outdoor programs, we weave yoga and nature together in a way that dissolves the boundaries between them. We experience all the gifts of the practice within the nurturing embrace of sunshine, wind, water, and earth.
Just as nature is in a constant state of flux and flow, so too is our yoga practice. Yoga is not static. It is constantly evolving and differs for each person day-to-day, even moment-by-moment. Taking ourselves and our practice outdoors can be a revitalizing change from doing yoga in a studio or in front of a television. Outside of the self-contained, controlled environment of the yoga studio—where the mood is often set with candles, music, hushed voices, an essential oil diffuser running in the background—practicing yoga outdoors will leave you feeling at peace and energized.
Practicing yoga outside barefoot has a grounding effect. Rather than just visualizing your connectedness to the earth, you actually experience it through the rootedness of the standing leg supporting you. Instead of getting discouraged or frustrated by the unevenness of the ground as you enter into balance poses, work with the unevenness. Challenge yourself to maintain balance poses by engaging the working muscles in a more nuanced way or by putting into practice the energetic and physical alignment cues by following the advice commonly taught in class—that rooting down in our balances allow us keep the upper body lifted.

Yoga is a path that radically transforms lives daily. We love teaching yoga, asanas, breath work and meditation because these experiences help us be more peaceful, calm and present in all aspects of our lives.
Personally for me practicing yoga has been essential for living.
Yoga has a way of reshaping us from the center of our beings. We often come to yoga after years of living through highs and our lows. As the Buddha once said, “life is suffering”.
When I arrived at my first yoga class, I was not in the mental space. I still had layers and layers and layers of protection built up in my mind+body.
My physical body was stiff and achy. I had wacky hormones. My energy body was low, lacking essential vitality to get me through my days. Extreme emotions made me feel as if I wasn’t in control. Negative thoughts overwhelmed me.
Throughout all this, I was not aware that I had an inner witness who could sit inside me and observe these layers of my being with non-judgement and self-awareness. I arrived to yoga during a time of my life when I could not function in daily life. I didn’t have enough energy, nor could I cope with the everyday challenge of being human. It was all too exhausting.
Today, I am doing what I once only imagined was possible. I feel profoundly connected. It’s as though I’ve been plugged back into a source of energy and vitality that is essential for living. Yoga has been a vital part of this transformation.
I know there are many paths to walk and many mind-body practices that make up what we refer to as yoga these days. I am so grateful for all of the incredibly creative people who have passed on their wisdom, allowing each of us today to find our own paths (and carve out new paths) that serve us and teach us what we need to learn in whatever stage of life we are experiencing.
We create unique pop up retreat style yoga events through using our natural world in away that our ancestors lived.
We fully believe in our mission of bringing Community+Nature in sharing our passion of Yoga and Meditation.
