About this Event
Join us for an evening of renewal with Restorative Yoga and Well-Being Musical Experience — led by Rowena Mittal, MS, PhD, drawing on decades in biomedicine and yoga to support people through every stage of life, alongside acclaimed violist Meena Bhasin, Co-Artistic Director of Noe Music, weaving viola, voice, drone, and guided meditation to help you step into your own light.
Step into an evening of restorative yoga and meditative live sound: a soulful blend of gentle movement, stillness, resonance, and renewal designed to help you source your inner light.
This event blends two practices:
Restorative Yoga: Supported, effortless postures held for several minutes, accompanied by occasional mindfulness or breathwork guidance for deep recovery and a return to the body's natural rhythms
Well-Being Musical Experience: Viola, voice, and drone weave you into an immersive soundscape with guided meditation and gentle exploratory movement to move energy through the body and awaken to your most aligned and alive self.
Diminuendo to crescendo: The evening begins with slow mat-based, somatic movement followed by postures held on bolsters, blankets, and blocks to balance tension head-to-toe. Practice ends with cocooning in an extended savasana. Rowena’s voice fades out and Meena's fades in. Metamorphosis through sound: the evening ends with a soft awakening. Expect to leave grounded in your body and quieter in your mind – a taste of liberation and self-realization.
This event is for anyone who needs a rest and is open to all levels of experience.
