Breath & Resonance: Pranayama Journey with Gong and Sound Bowls

Duration: 90 minutes (1.5 hours)

Level: All levels welcome (beginners to experienced)

Immerse yourself in a deeply restorative session that harmonizes conscious breathwork with the healing vibrations of sound. This 90-minute practice begins with 30 minutes of guided pranayama, exploring the four primary patterns of breathing to awaken awareness, release tension, and cultivate inner balance.

The four elemental patterns are Inhale nose/exhale nose for balancing the Earth element; inhale mouth/exhale nose to balance the fire element; inhale nose/exhale mouth to balance the water element; and inhale mouth/exhale mouth to balance the Air element. All the elements are projections of what we experience in nature herself and we are part of nature so those very same elemental associations exist with as well.

“As above, so below; as within, so without; as the universe, so the soul.” - Hermes Trismegistus

You will gently progress through:

• Diaphragmatic Breathing — grounding and calming the nervous system
• Thoracic (Chest) Breathing — expanding vitality and releasing upper-body holding
• Clavicular (Upper) Breathing — opening the breath’s full potential
• Full Yogic Breath — integrating all layers for complete, effortless respiration

These foundational patterns serve as the gateway to deeper presence, helping regulate stress, improve oxygenation, and prepare the body and mind for profound relaxation.

The remaining time flows into a soothing sound immersion featuring live gong and crystal singing bowls. Bathed in rich, resonant frequencies, you’ll lie back (or sit comfortably) as the vibrations wash over you, dissolving energetic blockages and guiding you into a meditative, theta-state journey. The combination of intentional breath and sound creates a powerful synergy — enhancing clarity, emotional release, and a profound sense of wholeness.

Benefits Include:

• Reduced anxiety and nervous system regulation
• Improved breath awareness and lung capacity
• Deep relaxation and stress relief
• Enhanced meditation experience
• Feeling centered, renewed, and energetically balanced

No prior experience necessary — just bring your curiosity, a yoga mat, Eye pillows, blankets and anything else you need to feel comfortable. There are extra meditation cushions and yoga mats at the studio if needed.

Come breathe, release, and resonate.
