Sound Bowl Journey + Guided Breathwork

Guided by Jourdan Baldwin and Natalhie Ruiz, we'll combine the potent and powerful vibrations from sound bowls with a guided concious connected breathwork journey to soothe your nervous system, enhance mind-body connection, and create deep relaxation. This is an immersive experience that will leave you feeling centered, revitalized, and deeply connected.

Whether you are new to either of these practices or an OG, this is for you. There is always more to learn, and as we always say "life is better being a forever student."

Jourdan Baldwin is a co-owner of KALO Fitness, a women's focused fitness/wellness studio, and has extensive practice with many different breathwork techniques from her yoga teacher training, XPT certification, and mentorships, teachers, & study in somatic breathwork and the nervous system. Jourdan credits breathwork with a huge part of her evolution and ability to understand how to feel and process emotions - creating resilience in the face of her own life's biggest stressors. In addition, Jourdan creates beautiful sound journeys designed around tempo, deep emotional connection and harmony within oneself. This combined with the breathwork creates a truly impactful experience.
