Yoga Social & Sounds
âHi!! đ My name is Gigi, I'm a certified yoga teacher but I'm also a certified breathwork facilitator and sound healer. This exciting event is in collaboration with Friday Hikes Club. This is a fantastic way to meet new friends, to find some hiking buddies, and to restore your body to a relaxed state so that you're ready for your next hike!
This will be a yin yoga event (deep stretches, longer holds) with a sound bath portion (with some authentic crystal sound bowls). There will also be time to mingle and for some icebreakers, so you'll be guided in both your nervous system's restoration and in chatting with some folks!
Why attend this event? I know from personal experience that this style of yoga that I personally do (every day) and will be guiding you through is an excellent way to calm your nervous system, to release some tension in your body (excellent for prepping for a hike, or for recovering from workouts, and for releasing trauma and processing emotions). The purpose of my yoga is two-fold - to release tension in your body and to prepare it athletically, and to restore your nervous system to an excellent state and help you release negative emotion. I have always been an athlete and also have a trauma-informed background, so I know how important both things are. The sound bath portion will be a great way for you to allow all the deep poses to "sink in", for your body to relax its way out of the class, and to experience auditory healing. As a big sounds lover, I know this is helpful for anyone with extra sensitivity to sound (sound processing or auditory processing issues), anyone who's neurodivergent, music lovers, and just simply anyone who enjoys a zen vibe.
Please bring a yoga mat! If you would like to, I also recommend bringing a nice cozy sweater to lay in during the sound bath. :) Check-in and time for set-up will be about 10 mins, then we have yoga for about 25 mins, then sound bath for about 10 mins, and then we will have time for socializing. :)
