Sound Bath @ Homegrown Yoga & Pilates
“A Sound bath is a holistic and immersive relaxation practice that combines the therapeutic effects of sound and meditation to promote deep relaxation, stress reduction, and mental clarity.
Join Sound Healing practitioner Lisa Miller for a deeply calming experience. You will be guided to breathe, stretch and lie down comfortably on your yoga mats while Lisaplays a variety of soothing and resonant instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes, drums, or perhaps vocal toning or mantras.
The sound vibrations produced by these instruments can have a profound effect on the body and nervous system. The vibrations synchronize and balance brainwave patterns, inducing a state of deep relaxation.
Participants are encouraged to focus on their breath, let go of stress, and allow the sound vibrations to guide them into a meditative state. The experience is meant to facilitate a sense of inner peace, balance, and overall well-being. Sound bath meditations are often used as a tool for reducing anxiety, improving sleep quality, and enhancing mindfulness. Participants sometimes see colors or have dream-like experiences. Each session is uniquely suited for whoever shows up!” - Homegrown Yoga & Pilates

“In this sweet holiday workshop, our youngest crafters will get to create a gift for two grownups with a little help from our elves! Once complete, each gift will be wrapped and tagged so it's ready to tuck under the tree!
While a trusted adult must stay onsite during this workshop, we ask that you to remain in the front area so your crafter can create without you peeking! There are only 4 spots available per time slot and we will be assisting with this craft so it truly will be a surprise!” - Pink Confetti Website
