*Sign up for one or both classes. You must reserve your spot. Capacity is capped at 15 students for each class.



Program Vision:

Our intention for this Healing and Wellness Series is to offer our community curated healing and wellness practices across various modalities that collectively nurture us amid the tumultuous times we find ourselves in. Our goal is to disrupt the status quo of stress, isolation, and limited resources for accessible, inclusive health, wellness, and care by providing a wealth of sorely needed offerings. Through the series, we will strive to create an experience that rebuilds connections between mind, body, and soul.

SUNDAY @ CHEETAH GYM


Bio :


Mirza Shams, is a non-binary Egyptian-Levantine healthcare practitioner and multidisciplinary sound artist. As a healer, they incorporate social, mental and emotional justice through mindfulness and the cultural intersectionalities of sound, music and mental-health work, in order to support people in discovering their true-self and embarking on their healing journeys. Mirza has an M.D. in General Medicine from Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University, Egypt. They see themselves as a conduit for divine sound, healing, wisdom, love and kindness in the world. As an immigrant, neurodivergent, queer and trans individual, Mirza is deeply committed to the importance of hope, vulnerability and rewriting the narratives of self knowledge for survivors of harm. Their approach to healing is informed by their education, creative practices, spirituality and cultures.


Class Description:


Sound Healing


The process in which a practitioner uses sound and music to improve the mental, emotional and physical health of the listener/receiver. Sound healing offers an accessible way to engage with one's own well-being without language. The healing process is based on the belief that dysregulation or disease in the body is a result of our natural resonance being out of tune or off balance, whether due to stress, illness or environmental factors. Sound healing significantly lessens tension, fatigue, anger and depression through working with frequencies, energies and vibrations. The experience can be either stand-alone or combined with other therapeutic work like breathwork, movement, writing, visualization and more. There are many styles, formats, and lengths to sound therapy sessions which are based on the individualized needs, preferences, and goals.
