Upcoming Events

(WRJ) Saturday Evening Sound Bath
Sept 12, 6:30–8 pm

Shambu

A sound bath is an immersive and healing sensory experience for the body, mind and soul. An array of Instruments that are tuned to specific healing frequencies are played while the group is lying down in a deeply relaxed, meditative state. Scientific research continues to reveal the power of these frequencies’ effects on the body and mind, which shift them into profound harmony. We begin the session by setting an intention for the journey, whether you need to manifest, release, shift or heal. Our intentions are followed by brief pranayama (breath work) and a short guided meditation before being serenaded in a high vibrational soundscape including singing bowls, chimes, gong, drum and more! Feel the effects of these potent healing vibrations for yourself and leave feeling a renewed sense of inner peace. 

All ages and abilities are welcome, wear comfortable clothes and arrive with an open heart and mind!
$28 to drop in or use your class pass.

(WRJ) Nepalese Shamanic Drumming
Friday, August 28, 6–7 pm

Shambu

A Shamanic Journey is an ancient practice dating back to the pre-religion times of animism. Shamanic Journeying uses traditional drumming to effortlessly induce deep meditative states of consciousness without the use of any substances. While in these deep meditative states we can experience healing, emotional release, pattern recognition, wisdom from guides/ancestors, enhanced overall wellbeing, and even mystical visions. In modern times we are so caught up in surviving day to day that we forget the more subtle realms and energies that are unseen around us all of the time. We begin each journey by honoring these unseen energies, our ancestors, and the elemental spirits of earth, water, fire, wind and ether (space). We will set an intention for our journey together after a brief introduction and explanation of the practice to receive the most benefits from our session. The beat of the drum shifts our consciousness toward the spiritual realms and allows us to expand beyond our normal awareness. The science behind these practices lies in the trance inducing beat of the drum, when we listen to repeated drumming our brains shift from our waking state into a deep meditative state. Shamanic Journeys can provide profound healing, new insights and awareness in our life that help us to see life from a renewed perspective which leads to new solutions and experiences.  All are welcome, no previous experience necessary!

NEW Early Class! Sivananda Yoga
(WRJ) Fridays, 6:30–8 am

begins September 4

Shambu

Sivananda Yoga is a lineage specific style of Hatha yoga, weaving together stillness and slow, meditative movement, including pranayama (breathwork) and asanas (poses). This sequence cleanses the nadis (energy channels), releases bodily tension/trauma, builds heat and deeply strengthens/focuses the mind. We play with the concept of exerting effort without strain, using our awareness to find our limit while being careful not to cross over it. We practice pranayama (yogic breathwork) to start every class which is a unique and powerful feature of this style of yoga. Leave this class feeling deeply relaxed, empowered and stable to take on all of life's ups and downs. Suitable for all levels!
