Live Gong, Ancient Teachings, Pranayama
Sound therapy is proven to be one of the most powerful forms of relaxation. It specifically allows in bringing the mind into a balance for an effortless meditation and relaxation. The Gong Meditation is a unique experience: “Your mind, your thoughts, your molecules, your existence psyche, electromagnetic psyche, has no power over this sound.” The vibration of the Gong creates deep relaxation, releasing us from the torrent of thoughts our minds generate.
Let go and allow the Gong to do the work while you relax and receive the benefits. Experience the Infinite within the finite. Join us for a transformative healing journey into self-discovery, go beyond the frequency of your mental imprints and limitations, and enjoy the deep meditative experience of the Gong.
The Gong impacts the body and its meridians. It releases blocks, reduces tension, stimulates circulation, balances the chakras and strengthens the Aura. The Gong changes the feelings that are obstructed by cutting the thoughts that sustain and recreate the feelings. It is the only instrument the mind has no defense against. The sound waves bring the subconscious mind into a balance and meditative state which allows for an effortless meditation and relaxation that facilitates the movement of prana throughout the body and psyche.
The Gong is a healing tool for body, mind and soul on all levels. Here are some additional benefits of Gong Meditation:
- Helps repair the nervous system (including damages of alcohol & drugs)
- Reduces stress related issues: depression, fatigue, anger, hostility, fear and loneliness
- Stimulates the glandular system to a higher level of functioning
- Strengthens the immune system
- Creates deep relaxation and induces a spontaneous meditative state
- Clears the mind and releases you from the torrent of thoughts
- Clears the sub-conscious mind
- Accelerates the development of intuitive sensitivity and visualization
- Balances all the chakras
- Enlivens and integrates the 10 bodies of the aura
- Gives a sense of expanded awareness and higher consciousness
- Opens the meridians and releases blocks, reduces tension and stimulates circulation
- Opens the psychic functions of the sixth chakra/ 3rd eye
The word “Kriya” is from the Sanskrit “kri” meaning “to do”. Patanjali stated, “Kriya Yoga is self-disciplined, self study, and attunement to life.” The Kriya Flow class will guide practitioners to establish their hatha yoga practice linking gentle movement with breath.
Class will consist of a dharma talk, (or short lesson/ theme), leading into a gentle breathing exercise, such as alternate nostril breathing, or ujaye breath, followed by a series of kriyas, (standing and seated poses, such as: sun salutations, a warrior series, a balancing posture, and seated poses).
For the new student, time will be spent building poses from their foundation and finding the right practice for the body. For seasoned yogis this class is an opportunity to slow down and enjoy the basics of the practice; helping to better align the body in each pose. Class will wind down with a short relaxation, and closing to the dharma talk given at the beginning of class.
Each week we will concentration on different postures according to the theme at hand. Themes will cover topics such as: basic yogic philosophy, the yoga sutras, the history of yoga, the roles and importance of various yoga masters in the tradition, and much more.
Yin Yoga is a beautiful practice which balances out the energy of our very active lifestyles; it brings balance and calmness to the body, mind & spirit and prepares people for meditation while improving the health on many levels.
Most forms of yoga today are dynamic, active practices designed to work only half of our body, the muscular half or the “yang” tissues. Yin Yoga allows us to work the other half, the deeper “yin” tissues of our ligaments, bones, deep fascia networks, and even joints –which require gentle pressure for a period of time in order to release.
Enjoy this meditative yoga practice using stillness and breath as it calls us deep within to find peace, harmony and vitality.
The benefits of practicing Yin Yoga include increased range of motion for the muscles, regaining space and strength in the joints, moving the energy in our body, increasing the health of our organs, and quieting our mind.
The practice of Yin Yoga is meditative and passive in nature yet unearths the beauty that is within us all.
Tai Chi Chuan is a Taoist internal martial art based on the principle of Yin Yang – the harmonious interaction of opposite forces for both creation and destruction. Tai Chi Chuan practice consists of Form (Yin) and Push Hands (Yang). Diligent practice of the art yields such benefits as power, wisdom, health,
happiness, and martial skill.
Form is the solo exercise, a pattern of movements and techniques that are practiced in a fixed order according to strict structural and mechanical standards on the external level, and develop and utilize awareness and energy on the internal level.
Tai Chi “meditation in motion” is great for beginners and advanced practitioners alike.
Yogic breathing, or Pranayama, revitalizes the body, steadies the emotions, and creates great clarity of mind. Pranayama is subtle but very powerful and a vital part of yoga practice. The more we become aware of our breath, the more we are able to calm the mind.
In this class, you will learn how to breathe correctly in order to facilitate the flow of Prana (breath/ life force energy), learn pranayama techniques, yogic philosophy, and how to incorporate pranayama into asana (posture) practice. Pranayama class will greatly benefit your yoga practice because more awareness of our breath expands the quality and experience of our yoga practice and life.
No previous experience with pranayama or yoga is necessary. Both beginners and experienced practitioners are welcome!
Meditation 101
All levels are welcome, no experience required. Great for beginners!
A class teaching the styles and benefits of meditation. We will explore the different techniques of meditation and its benefits through lectures, warm-up yoga, standing, and sitting. Mental skills are developed using various meditation techniques. Mantras, mudras and chants help reinforce memory and strengthens your three bodies – physical (outermost sheath), astral (sublime body) and casual (spiritual).
Awareness of your breath, posture, movement, thoughts, sounds, surroundings and smells, stimulate and help build solid foundations to meditation. When practicing our meditation, we must be in the moment and concentrate on where we are to allow our experience to naturally progress. Even though we can travel mentally, we must learn to avoid external disturbances and distracting mental thoughts.
Our breath, posture and movement are the three things we need to master in order to achieve what we desire through our meditation. Our movement can be physical or mental and our willingness to be open to learning and practice will hone our inner growth. This is our greatest lesson that will transform and strengthen our inner power.
“Meditation is the same experience of silence and peace and bliss – but alone.” – Osho
Chakra Sound Healing Meditation
“Chakra Sound Healing Meditation” is a beautiful class in which you will be learning about the chakras and focus on gentle poses, breathing and meditation techniques, to help you bring balance to each of the Chakra locations in your body. As your life energy begins to circulate correctly through these spinning wheels, you will experience a new sense of peace, wholeness and connection.
You will experience the sound healing of crystal singing bowls before the end of the class.
Imagine being able to quiet your mind, rejuvenate your body, bring calming peace to your nervous system, and awaken your connection to your Higher Self—all within moments. This is what’s possible through the healing sounds of crystal singing bowls.
Crystal bowl therapy helps to balance the chakra system and re-energize the auric field. Healing is made possible on all levels. You may find yourself drawn to different tones each time you experience them.
You can immediately go into a state of full receptivity and relaxation.
When Chakras work in a perfect harmony you are in tune with your mind, body and spirit. Unfortunately, nowadays your emotions can easily affect your breathing, heart rate, metabolism, thoughts and behavior. When Chakras are imbalanced or blocked a feeling of disconnection from yourself and other, and a struggle in our relationships is created.
“When you understand that everything is frequency, then life becomes a symphony”.
Relax, recharge, and release mental and physical tension after a long week at our Candlelight Sound Meditation sessions.
Each class starts with a gentle warm-up, followed by pranayama breathing techniques, and a special meditation based around a unique subject, followed by a rejuvenating sound healing session relaxing in restorative Shavasana, all by beautiful and atmospheric candlelight. Using the power of the gong, Tibetan Singing Bowls, and other instruments for meditation, you will feel refreshed and ready to take on the weekend.
Elevated Energy, Increase Awareness
During full moon meditation, your energy will be at its highest. Just as the moon impacts the ocean and its tides it has a very powerful effect on body which is comprised of 75% water. We work to channel this energy force to go inward, transcend the mind, and feel the Divinity within.
Come together as a community and help build the foundation of a new world. Practice of this energetic meditation will allow us to relate to the newest generation, and sense everything with “clear, calm and quiet.” Overflow with energy, touch the hearts of others and fill their emptiness!
The effect of all spiritual practice multiplies a thousand fold under the full moon. Your energy will be at its highest. Meditating during the full moon provides an opportunity to connect deeply with our inner wisdom and with nature.
On a full moon day, as the moon frequencies are more active, a heightened activity of the mind is observed. The adverse effect of the full moon is more on the physical or gross body whereas that of new moon is more on the mind. During the Full Moon there is a pressure on your glandular system which can either make us erratic or the same pressure can be used to accelerate healing on all levels!
The time of the full moon is a period when spiritual energies are uniquely available and facilitate a closer rapport between humanity and the Divinity. Immerse yourself in the healing sounds of the LIVE Gong right after the meditation!

New Beginnings, Increase Consciousness
The energy of the New Moon is particularly auspicious for new beginnings: planting new seeds and creating new cycles into motion. It is a perfect day to take a big step on your Spiritual Path. Dedicate New Moons to fresh starts or turning ideas into reality. Begin a new project, meditation, relationship, or a new business. Apply for a job, start a journal, or implement a new personal or professional commitment.
When the Moon is new, the Sun and Moon are aligned in the same sign, and a powerful energy portal is opened. New Moons are a great time to set intentions for things you’d like to create, develop, cultivate, make manifest. The new Moon has a more inward feel. It can be described as a distinct cleansing or empty quality. It is the moment when the old passes away and the new is not yet here. That’s why it’s a powerful time for sending out your prayer, wishes and desires to the Universe.
The magic of the new moon is there for one day each month when the sun and the moon are on exactly the same page. Immerse yourself in the healing sounds of the LIVE Gong right after the meditation!

Conscious Deep Sleep
Experience one of the greatest methods of meditation with “Yoga Nidra” – Conscious Deep Sleep and get renewed, rejuvenated, and recharged. Yoga Nidra is one of the deepest forms of all meditations, leading awareness through many levels of mental processes to a state of supreme stillness and insight. This method has been known for thousands of years by the sages and yogis, and it refers to the conscious awareness of the Deep Sleep State.
Yoga Nidra was taught by the ancient wisdom teachers for the purpose of exploring the deep impressions or samskaras (past experiences that form desires that influence future responses and behavior which drive our actions or karma). They taught this so that sincere seekers can purify the deeper aspect of the mind-field, which is accessed in the formless state of conscious Deep Sleep. Other benefits:
- Improves the immune system
- Improves the quality and the amount of sleep
- Reduces chronic pain suffering
- Soothes autonomic nervous system
- Decreases symptoms of anxiety
- Helps create new neural pathways in your brain leading to healthy habits & routines

- Gives more ease and peace of mind in daily life
- Improves creativity and whole brain functioning
- Improves your performance at work
Whether you are an experienced meditator or a novice, Yoga Nidra meditation is very easy and you can enjoy the benefits after one session; you just relax on your back, and listen to the instructions given. “Worst case scenario” you’ll have the best relaxation ever!
