Sound Bath Healing
What is a Sound Bath?
A sound bath uses waves of soothing, echoing sound to let your body and mind reset to a frequency found within the sounds of the crystal bowls. Feel the vibration and natural decompression that comes with the harmony of sound.
Allow yourself to consciously experience this quiet and peaceful journey. Come into a deeper state of relaxation followed by a feeling of awareness with soothing, overlapping vibrations.
Sound baths can help release stress, anxiety and even promote better sleep. This provides a deep relaxation that will leave you feeling rested and peaceful.

Restorative Yoga
What is Restorative Yoga + why should I try this?
Restorative Yoga classes offer fewer poses with longer holds. Students can use the support of props such as blankets, blocks and foam rollers to support their bodies into postures to encourage relaxation and restoration.
This style of yoga “restores” the body to its parasympathetic nervous system function, which, in turn, helps the body rest, heal, and restore balance. By allowing time for longer asanas (postures or poses) and deeper breathing, restorative yoga helps elicit the relaxation response. This type of yoga focuses on taking your body out of fight or flight mode. This is so important as we live in a high pace environment that has constant stimulation.
Try this style of yoga with Bijou at our monthly sound bath + restorative yoga on May 11 from 5:30-7pm. We combine 45 minutes of restorative yoga followed by 40 minutes of Sound Bath Healing.
