Experience the relaxing sounds of crystal singing bowls with a sound bath. Relax while lying down with eyes closed, cocooned in a blanket, as a practitioner plays singing bowls and other musical instruments to relax the body and calm the mind. A restful, restorative experience. Space is limited. RSVP today!
Anne Menotti is a sound healer who enjoys playing crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, drums, gongs, chimes and other musical instruments to create an environment where healing can occur on physical, mental, and spiritual levels. Anne's first sound bath was in 2015 in Los Angeles, and it had a profound effect on her - - unblocking her chakra energy centers and realigning her body to provide a restful, restorative experience at the deepest level. As she learned more about how sound, vibrations, and specific note sequences can create an environment for healing and spiritual connection, she knew she wanted to offer this experience to others. She is honored to bring her sound healing to Bhakti Yoga. Anne has been trained in sound healing by the Sound Healing Academy and the renowned Atma Butti Sound & Vibrational School. A native of Chicago and Arkansas, Anne enjoys music, painting, yoga, ice skating, and sound healing. She lives in Kensington, Maryland with her husband and goofy dog, Cullen.
