Yoga & Sound
Saturday 12th February 10am-12 Noon.
The Studio, Maxwell Place, Langholm, DG13 0DX
Another opportunity to enjoy Yoga and an amazing sound bath. Becky Dalgleish is joining us again to offer this sound experience. I will guide you through a gentle yoga and breath practice followed by the Sound Bath session delivered by Becky. This should be a truly lovely experience for you and we are excited to be able to offer this to the Langholm yogis!
Becky studied with the British Academy of Sound Therapy (BAST), achieving a Practitioner Level Diploma in Sound Therapy (PL.Dip.ST) . Becky is trained in one to one therapy as well as group sound baths.
“Sound therapy uses sound, music and specialist instruments played in therapeutic ways to improve health and wellbeing. I use tonal instruments including Himalayan bowls, crystal singing bowls and gongs, as well as rhythmic instruments. Combining all these instruments in a very specific way has been shown to affect physiology, neurology and psychology. As well as observing the sensations which arise during the sound bath, we will discuss self-reflective techniques which look at the human mind-body-energy system, as a guide towards self-realisation. I invite you to come along and explore the sensation of sound and to immerse yourself and see what you discover.”
The cost is £20.
