Yin + Sound with Tara Danli
Date: 7/20/2025 From: 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm
*Please note that there are no refunds or exchanges for workshops and special events.
This special workshop is an opportunity to surrender and release. Yin Yoga poses will help you unwind and open up through longer holds using props (typically 3-5 minutes in length). The goal is to release deeply held tension in the muscles (with a focus on the hips and lower back) to access the connective tissues and rebalance the energetic body.
During the live sound bath with Crystal Singing Bowls, your brain will move into the deeper brainwave frequencies that can help induce meditative and peaceful states to allow for clarity of mind and relaxation.
Some of the many benefits of sound meditation include: improved sleep; a deep sense of tranquility; reduction of stress and anxiety, and relief from depression and emotional pain.
Techniques used throughout this special class will guide you into a meditative state, allowing you to release, let go and surrender. If you have never experienced a yin class or sound meditation, even better!
You are in for an incredible experience.
The cost for this workshop is $55.
