Sound Bath & Meditation

Relax into your weekend by joining us to experience the benefits of vibrational sound and meditation. Receive gentle guidance to unwind through focused breathing and meditation exercises. We'll then relax onto yoga mats to experience the calming effects of listening to highly resonant, immersive sounds from various instruments, including crystal bowls. These sound vibrations, or sound “bathing," promote a meditative state, allowing thoughts to quiet and the body to relax.
Leave class with an understanding of how this practice can be beneficial and how to incorporate vibrational sound into your own self-care practice. All supplies are included (yoga mats, blankets, bolsters, and eye pillows), but participants are welcome to bring their own pillows and any other props for personal comfort. It is also recommended to dress warmly since bodies tend to cool as they relax.
*Please note: a limited number of soft furniture is available if some students would prefer to sit comfortably for the second part of the class. Please call the 577 Program Manager at 419-874-4174 to reserve these spots.

Her love of nursing and massage led her to notice how many people had difficulty with simple movements that could make their bodies feel better, younger, and more comfortable. Pam has been practicing yoga most of her life and has taught it for the past 18 years, where her goal is to help others be comfortable in their bodies with movement, appreciate the calmness the breath can give, and attain the deep meditative mind that connects the full picture of a Yoga practice.
