Be Change: Gentle Yoga & Sound Bath

This Halloween-themed gentle yoga practice invites us to embrace change and let go of our fear of the unknown. In yoga philosophy, this tendency to cling to what is familiar is known as abhiniveśaḥ. The Bhagavad Gītā reminds us, "For one who is born, death is certain, and for one who dies, birth is certain." This timeless teaching speaks not only to life and death, but to every ending and every new beginning—in ourselves, our relationships, the changing seasons, and the natural rhythms of life.

We begin with an accessible yoga practice incorporating Vedic chanting, breathwork, mindful movement, and meditation. Rather than encouraging you to "check out," this practice invites you to check in—developing a calm, grounded awareness and a deeper connection to yourself.

From this place of presence, we transition seamlessly into an extended sound bath with you. Using therapeutic-grade CrystalTones® Alchemy singing bowls, gong, chimes, and voice, you create an immersive sound experience designed to calm the nervous system, encourage deep rest, and support the body's natural capacity for healing.

Taking place at the threshold between summer and fall, this workshop offers an opportunity to honor the life-giving forces of nature, express gratitude for the abundance of summer, and create space to enter the fall season with greater clarity, steadiness, and intention.
