Thank you for your understanding! Honor rest, care, and connection with this deeply nurturing Mother’s Day–inspired Aerial Sound Bath. Whether you’re celebrating yourself, a mother in your life, or simply the energy of care and creation, this experience is an invitation to receive. This transformative workshop combines the lightness of a suspended, floating body with the soothing vibrations of a sound bath. Harmonizing the body through sound can help regulate energy along the meridians, calm the nervous system, and support emotional release—offering space to soften, reset, and restore the physical, emotional, and mental body. The aerial hammock creates a cocoon-like environment, often compared to the maternal womb, gently cradling and supporting the body in a way that promotes deep safety and ease. Float weightlessly as you’re immersed in the binaural tones of crystal singing bowls, allowing yourself to slow down, let go, and be held—an especially meaningful practice for Mother’s Day. **Cost of workshop:** $50 without a hammock rental, $60 with a hammock rental Sign up: https://flyingbuddhastudio.com/#Events About Your Teacher: Elise Pierre is a musician and yoga teacher who has adopted a holistic approach to treating an autoimmune disease developed after endometriosis cancer.
