HANDPAN/SOUND BATH WITH RESTORATIVE YOGA
Embark on a restorative journey of restful yoga poses with lyrical handpan music & poetry followed by a sound bath.
Join us for an evening of yoga and healing sound. This practice is designed to create a deep state of rest and relaxation, and allow you to leave feeling invigorated and renewed.
Laurie VanCott will guide you through restorative yoga poses while Thomas Schroyer plays melodic eastern-inspired handpan music, with a special guest appearance by local poet Chelan Harkin reading poetry in between poses.
Then we will dive deeper into release and create further healing and calm with a sound bath by Thomas with gongs, Tibetan bowls, and low bass drums. The sound healing instruments can be very powerful as these instruments have calming effects and can bring you into a deep state of meditation.
Thomas's background in creating music for travel films and theater has greatly influenced his approach to sound baths. Laurie VanCott is a yoga instructor and physical therapist whose focus is to bring wellness and health into our lives by integrating the wisdom and knowledge of eastern and western medicine.
All you need to do is relax with an open mind and let the sounds take you deep into your inner journey!!!
