Yoga Sound Bath
With Cosetta Romani & Daniella White
Sunday, June 2nd, 6:30 – 8:30pm
$30 preregistration / $35 day of
Cosetta will lead you into deep restorative asanas (poses) while performing hands on healing, accompanied by the healing frequencies of Daniella’s crystal bowls and gong playing. The sounds will be gentle yet powerful, and have a massaging effect on the brain.
We will end with an extended sound bath savasana where Daniella takes you deeper into the sound, adding vocal toning. The combination of these two powerful practices will help bring movement to your chi and guide your body to self healing.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Marianne Williamson
