New Moon Kundalini Yoga and Gong Meditation
Date: Tuesday February 21st
Time: 7:30 -9:00 PM
Teacher: Satjeet Kaur
$20 per person
Tune in to the power of Kundalini Yoga, one of the most ancient forms of yoga, combining mantra (sound), mudra (hand position), pranayam (breath work), asana (posture/movement) and meditation. Kundalini Yoga is often called the "Yoga of Awareness." This class will tap into the energy of the new moon and focus on alignment and setting intentions. We will conclude with a deep meditation to the sound of the gong. The gong represents the very first sound in the universe. As the sacred sound current penetrates your body and mind, it balances and rejuvenates the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, creating a cleansing shift in your energy and emotions. This is a powerful form of vibrational healing.

We will work with large exercise balls to support the opening of the chest, and with supports and blocks to move into poses.
