Open Space Yoga

Gong Bath

he gong produces a whole spectrum of harmonics that are based on pressure waves, vibrating the energy meridians in the body and bringing them into balance. students will be guided through a short centering and gentle breath work (pranayama) to relax the physical body. lying in savasana, receivers are "bathed" for 40 minutes in the deep nurturing sound of the gong. the "living tones" build upon each other and evolve on their own, producing a sea of sound that is both timeless and alive. we not only hear the sound through our ears but through our bodies, affecting us at the deepest cellular levels. within this experience, tensions are released, blockages cleared - mind and body are soothed. no previous experience is necessary - simply show up and be open to the experience.
