Rooted & Rising: A Somatic Movement + Sound Healing Experience
Advertisement
Saturday, August 15 9:00 AM – 10:45 AM
Led by Gayla Downey, RYT-500 (she, her)
Class Description
Rooted & Rising invites you to deepen your sense of stability while gently opening to new possibilities. This nurturing experience combines somatic yoga, breath awareness, and sound healing to help you cultivate inner support, build resilience, and expand.
In the natural rhythm of healing, we don't move from struggle to transformation overnight. We first learn to feel supported. From that foundation, we can begin to explore growth, connection a little at a time.
Through slow, intentional movement, you'll be guided to connect with the strength and support of your body, particularly through the feet and legs—the physical foundation that helps us feel grounded and secure. Drawing from somatic principles, we'll explore the balance between comfort and gentle activation, building the capacity to stay present with life's experiences without becoming overwhelmed.
The practice will gradually unfold into heart-opening movements that encourage openness, curiosity, and renewed energy while honoring your body's pace and wisdom. We will conclude with an immersive sound healing journey designed to support integration, balance, and nervous system regulation, allowing the body and mind to absorb the experience.
This offering is ideal for anyone seeking greater resilience, stability, and connection to themselves as they move forward in life, recovery, or personal growth.
What to expect:
• Grounding somatic movement and body awareness practices
• Breathwork to support regulation and balance
• Gentle strengthening and heart-opening yoga postures
• Exploration of internal and external resources for support
• A restorative sound healing journey for integration and renewal
