Invest in your well-being this October by attending a sound healing “bath” led by our yoga teacher, Ellie Ferguson. Yoga practitioner and trained vocalist, Ellie Ferguson will be guiding participants through a 90-minute sound bath. The bath will consist of crystal singing bowls, vocals, and other tools/instruments. The bath will bring participants into a state of entrainment. Entrainment means to come into vibratory resonance with. When entrainment occurs, your brain produces more frequencies in the Alpha, Theta, and Delta range. These brain waves are associated with creativity. Bring pillows and blankets to make yourself a cozy nest to receive the benefits of sound, relax, and enjoy! There will be extra bolsters/blankets available for use but it is highly encouraged to bring your own as there won't be enough for everyone.
