!!OUR LAST YOGA NIDRA SESSION OF THE YEAR!!

Relax and unwind with AYC owners, Kayce Johnson and Wesley Pilcher,  for a • Winter Yoga Nidra and Sound Immersion Reset• Wednesday, December 10th 7:45-8:45pm •

Yoga Nidra means “Yogic Sleep.” It is a state of consciousness and gently focuses the mind while allowing thought patterns, emotions, sensations, and images to arise and go on. In Yoga Nidra, you leave the waking state, go past the dreaming state, and go to deep sleep yet remain awake. While Yoga Nidra is a state that is very relaxing, it is also used by yogis to purify the Samskaras (the deep impressions that are the driving force behind karma).

This deeply relaxing class will combine the guided meditation of Yoga Nidra with the healing sounds of crystal singing bowls, drums, crystal pyramids, gongs, and other healing instruments. This class is suitable for all-levels and is taught in a reclined position that encourages stillness and brings the practitioner into a meditative state.

When: Wednesday, 12/10 7:45-8:45pm

Cost: $25

Register on Mindbody or arrive a few minutes early and we will get you signed in (no earlier than 15mins before start time though because we will have a class going on until 6:30pm)

Ever noticed how certain sounds can lift your mood, calm your mind, or boost your energy? Now imagine combining that with the magic of community— deep healing! 

Here are just a few benefits of sound therapy:

Deep Relaxation: Immersing yourself in soothing sound waves helps release stress, especially when shared with a supportive group. It creates a peaceful space where everyone can breathe, relax, and let go.

Emotional Release: Sound vibrations can unlock emotions stored in the body, and experiencing that release with others amplifies the healing process.

Restored Balance: Crystal bowls and other sound therapies help restore balance to your body’s energy centers, while the community around you serves as a reminder that you're never alone on your journey.

 Join Sara for a Soundbath on the first Friday of every month, 7-8:00pm

Cosmic Flight
Cosmic Flight is an all levels workshop that will have you flying high in the physical form, soaring soulfully on the astral plain. It combines an intro to acroyoga with the blissful vibrations of a soundbath. We’ll spend the first hour and fifteen learning to fly. Before closing with another hour and fifteen of breath, meditation, and soundbath.

The workshop will be led by Shane, a free spirited lover of movement. Who has been teaching yoga, acro, and sound healing around the world for nearly a decade.

The acro portion covers three different partner supported poses, with the option to expand from there. Don’t have a partner? Don’t worry. We’ll be learning in groups, with Shane rounding out the odd numbers. The physical nature of this practice helps to, not only, lift our spirit, but also awaken excitement and energy from deep down inside

The soundbath will have you soaring on the inside. We’ll start with some gentle movement, leading into Breathwork, and guided meditation, all supported by the soul soothing sounds of crystal singing bowls.
