SUMMARY:Restorative Yoga with Live Guitar & Sound Bath
DESCRIPTION:Restorative Yoga with Live Guitar & Sound Bath  – A Mind/Body Experience\nThis is the inner revolution release your body has been craving.  Immerse yourself in a heart opening exploration of gentle movement set to musical vibrations. This guided restorative yoga experience features live acoustic guitar along with a full sound bath. \nA Sound & Yoga Experience:\nAs Areta guides you through your restorative journey\, Guitarist Dave Hiltebrand and Sound Bath specialist Joi Hunt will create an atmospheric soundscape of original music synched to the energy of the room. The healing music represented from all over the world\, such as singing bowls\, crystal bowls\, wind chimes\, percussion and Native American flutes combined with live acoustic guitar create a multi-sensory practice to unwind and reset your body’s nervous system to a sense of calm and balance. \nThis 90 minutes of yoga combined with musical connection will resonate and open your mind and body enabling you to down regulate your nervous system while finding stillness\, releasing fascia and allowing deep recovery.  In a restorative practice you will have the opportunity to settle into passive poses with longer holds and slow stretches aided by props such as bolsters\, blocks\, blankets and straps. A guided meditation concludes the mind and body experience. \nAll curious lovers of music and yoga are welcome! \nAreta\, Joi and Dave have been teaching and guiding music and wellness practices at the Gorton Center for a number of years\, they have worked together on various offerings and are super excited to bring you this newest collaborative\, immersive experience this fall.
