Part 1: Soul Full Yoga

A beginner-friendly Vinyasa Yoga Flow designed to connect you with your body, breath, and presence.

All bodies, genders, and abilities are welcome!

Whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this class is accessible to everyBODY. Come as you are and move in a way that feels good for you.

*On a physiological level, the yoga practice helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system — calming the mind, softening physical tension, and preparing you for deeper rest. This makes it the perfect setup for the Soul Full Sound Nidra that follows, allowing you to access a more profound meditative state.

Part 2: Soul Full Sound Nidra

A guided sound and meditation experience using quartz crystal singing bowls tuned to 432 Hz, along with channeled vocal tones and medicine songs. The 432 Hz frequency is known to resonate with the natural vibration of the Earth, often referred to as the "heartbeat of the planet" or the Schumann Resonance. This sacred tuning is aimed to restore energetic balance, calm the nervous system, and create a sense of unity within and all around.

What is Sound Nidra?

A beautiful blend of Yoga Nidra + Sound Healing where we relax deeply in a guided meditation as we attune to the beautiful vibrations of singing bowls. Yoga Nidra is also known as, “yogic sleep.” During Yoga Nidra, you will enter a calming state that triggers a relaxation response, naturally reducing stress in the body and mind. The practice creates physical and mental activities that change brain waves to release emotional tension, slow down the nervous system, and allow muscles to relax.

How does Yoga Nidra work?

While falling asleep, brain waves begin moving from thoughtful beta waves, pass through the stages of alpha waves, then theta waves, and finally enter the slowest frequency of sleep - delta waves. Yoga Nidra guides practitioners into a state of relaxation between the alpha and theta state. This allows us to lie in deep relaxation between waking and sleeping. This state calms the autonomic nervous system that regulates the body's processes that take place without a conscious effort. In addition, it puts the parasympathetic nervous system into a deeper resting state. By calming the nervous system, this guided meditation deeply benefits the brain and body.
