Primordial Sound Meditation (PSM) is a powerful mantra based healing practice relying on personalized mantras. Rooted in Vedic traditions of India, this ancient practice allows you to experience inner-calm and deep relaxation. Using a Vedic mathematical formula, PSM uses individually selected sounds of nature (mantras) based on the vibrations the universe was creating at the moment of your birth. “Mantra” is a Sanskrit word which means “instrument for the mind” and is used to disconnect us from the activity of the world.

This training is comprised of four (4) sessions. We will meet the first three (3) Fridays of the month, with an additional private session after the first class.

NOTE: Registration closes at midnight on November 6.

Indulge in an afternoon of complete relaxation. Still your body and quiet you mind in restorative yoga postures supported with blankets, bolsters, and blocks to ensure comfort so that you may release all tension in the body and float into a state of peace and calm. 

In this state of calm we enter into the Yoga Nidra practice accompanied by the soothing and heart opening vibrations of crystal alchemy singing bowls. Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation which moves your awareness deeply into your consciousness, to bring insight, clarity, and  peace.

Lie in savasana while you embark on a cleansing journey on the wings of pure and perfect sound.

This is not a performance, but a sacred sound experience created by the transformative powers of the vibrations of seven gongs, 20 crystal alchemy signing bowls, and other exotic overtone instruments.

You will feel the peaceful energy of resonance as it permeates your body at a cellular level. This induces deep relaxation and harmonic entrainment which clears obstructions, elevates consciousness, and sets the foundation for healing and clarity to occur.

Bring your mat, a pillow, and a blanket.

Kirtan is the practice of call and response chanting or singing of a mantra. This is a powerful spiritual bhakti practice, especially when practiced with others. In raising our voice in devotion, our hearts open and we feel the compassion of the Divine.

Bhakti Yoga is one of the nine forms of yoga in which union with the Divine is achieved through devotion. According to the Bhagavad Gita, bhakti is the best way to achieve union. So, join us as we raise our voices and elevate our consciousness together.

This Advanced Classical Yoga Teacher Training will expand your understanding of yoga, refine your personal practice, hone your teaching skills, and give you the yogic tools to live a joyous yogic lifestyle.

Choose Your Concentration: Advanced Classical Vinyasa — or — Restorative Yoga & Yin Yoga

The goal of yoga sadhana is Self-realization, not being able to do a handstand or put your foot behind your head. While we will study and learn how to do and modify postures in both programs, we will also study advanced pranayama techniques, kriyas, and other yogic tools to cleanse the nadis and prepare for deeper levels of practice.

Graduates of this program will be eligible for RYT 500 certification through Yoga Alliance. If you already are an RYT 500, this training will give you an 800 hour certification.

Restorative Yoga is a form of yoga that focuses on deep relaxation and rejuvenation. It involves remaining in postures for extended periods with the support of props such as blankets, bolsters, and blocks to create comfort and ease. The intention is to invite opening and spaciousness in the physical body, bring balance and harmony to the energetic (subtle) body, and to pacify the nervous system.

The benefits of Restorative Yoga include stress reduction, improved sleep, increased flexibility, improved circulation, and support for health, healing, and holistic wellbeing.

All levels of yoga practitioners can benefit from Restorative Yoga, including beginners and those who enjoy a strong, vigorous asana practice.
