DARK Yoga ~ Giant Gong Bath & Breath work concert
w/ a Plant Medicine Journey
🧘🏻‍♀️ 🌘Diving into intuition, dreams, feeling into the body, the mind, & the spirit with loving awareness.
Celebrate the Solstice and the arrival of summer! The solstice marks the day of the year with the most daylight, and the turning towards the shortening of days and longer and longer nights.
Alongside the celebrations of light, we bring the honoring of night and DARKNESS !!! ...of mystery & dreams. We celebrate the seeds that NEED darkness and dark rich soil to germinate. we celebrate the darkness of the womb of all creation.
🌒 Celebrate the balance of nature! With our guides: Teacher Koreen, Frank DiCristina, ("the Gong Guy") and Nathaniel Tuna Quenzer on the sound bath and lighting.
Thematic DARK Yoga and breathwork concert with giant gongs, live instruments & dark drone. A guided journey deep into the womb of creation and back into your skin in the here and now.
As we embark on this vibrational healing journey, with many giant gongs, and a long deep sound bath, we will feel into our shadows and embrace the darkness and the balance of nature. Nature is within.
Feel into your body, mind and spirit as the days get shorter and darker with yin & SLOW yoga, AND go deeper into our minds with guided transcendental breath work.
Our practice will be about progressive darkness in balance with the light in our hearts.
This will be literal, as the room will become darker and darker and we will be using blindfolds to go even deeper into sensory deprivation, to heighten our other senses to feel into light, vibration, healing. And it will be figurative, as you are guided on your own creative journey in your mind's eye during the soundscape with an option to blindfold to go deeper.
Expect a giant long yummy gong bath. Many giant gongs and multiple sound healers with various instruments to 5D landscape sensation.

More info for seekers:
This is a journey.
- We start with a sloooow guided yoga. We transition into building heat with asana and somatic shaking.
- Be guided into breathwork rhythms curated to assist with opening pathways for intuitive insight, create balance and reduce stress or anxiety.
- Slide into stillness alongside a deep & vibrational Gongs & sound bath w singing bowls & other healing sound instruments.

deeper info:
Experience your breath, body, mind and darkness to celebrate and integrate the season.
Let yourself be guided through postures and breath techniques. Experience their effects as you absorb healing sounds. The soundscape will be full of depth and feeling - mountain peaks of vibrations, drone into feelings of balance like a ship on a calm sea. Watch where you mind takes you.
This is the kind of sound you can feel in your bones and has potential for deep healing. Therapeutic sound impacts our nervous system, slowing the heart, brain and respiratory rates down to induce a state of deep relaxation and peace. When the brain waves and body are synchronised, balance can be restored and stress relieved.
We will end class with candles slowly being lit, sage being lit, curtains opening and leaving as the sun sets above Mississippi River in front of the building.
You will be guided back to the light and your sense of sight. At this time you will have an opportunity to grab your journal to sketch, write, process and integrate your journey, your insights.
Why? Connecting to the darkness, and remaining open, welcoming all it has to teach is a very powerful skill to harness your full life-force & potential.
Our knee jerk reaction is to turn on a light, to flee the darkness, to 'fix' any sense of discomfort we experience, But what if we sit into it. Instead of asking yourself what can we do to be better, what if we sit with how it is, exactly as it is now?!?!
