Ease into a relaxing sensory experience with Stephanie Stelly and Caroline Chiesa. We welcome you to your mats, where the scents of incense and sage will surround you. Stephanie will begin the evening by centering and grounding us all with the sound of Om.
Caroline will then guide us through a breathwork practice. Stephanie will lead you into a relaxing, supported Savasana, offering healing consensual touch, including Thai leg pulls, shoulder grounding, and sub-occipital release for your skull.
Meanwhile, Caroline will facilitate deep relaxation and stillness through sound healing with crystal bowls, harps, and more.
At the end of the class, aromatherapy will be offered, featuring relaxing rose water and essential oils to bring sweetness back into your life after the incense and sage have warded off heavy energies.
Please inform the instructors of any injuries, and Stephanie will seek permission and feedback while offering assisted touch.

What is a sound bath? A sound bath is a deeply immersive, full-body listening experience. This is an opportunity for deep healing and relaxation...all that you need is an open heart and an open mind.
During this hour long session, you will lay down in a comfortable position and meditate to the ethereal sounds of crystal bowls, chimes, harps, and voice. Quartz crystal bowls' unique frequencies have a direct impact on the nervous system, encouraging it to shift into a state of calm and balance.
The gentle yet powerful waves of sound synchronize with your brainwaves, promoting the release of tension and restoring the body's natural rhythm.

Steph's Bio: Stephanie graduated with a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Southeastern Louisiana University in 2017. Soon after, she started practicing yoga & fell in love with the way it made her feel comfortable in her own body. She earned her Yoga teacher training certification in the spring of 2019 at Yoga Bliss in Baton Rouge. Her 200 hr YTT primarily focused on assisting and sequencing in vinyasa flow based on the Ashtanga and Jivamukti lineages. She held a teaching spot at Yoga Bliss, Leela Yoga Lifestyle, and founded the Baton Rouge Yoga Nation, where she taught alongside and managed rotating teachers at many outdoor locations in Baton Rouge. She completed her 25 hr Restorative Yoga certification right before moving to New Orleans at Church of Yoga in 2020. In addition to her experience with yoga, her psychology background also gained her five years experience working with children with autism. She started working at Swan River in the work study program, now known as the Seva Krewe. She was then asked to start substituting classes and eventually landed her own permanent spot on the weekly teaching schedule. She now manages the Seva Krewe and has since attended trainings in the beginning levels of Ayurveda, Sound Therapy, Reiki, and Thai Yoga Therapy and Assisted Stretching. Her classes are heavily influenced by all of the amazing teachers she has been blessed with at Swan River. She believes that you are only as great a teacher as you are a student and loves being a member of this beautiful community. She cannot wait to see what the future has in store for her personal growth & expansion. Living consciously is the greatest blessing!
