In a world where there is a competition for our attention, an overabundance of information streams to process and excessive stimulation nearly everywhere we turn, it is perhaps more critical than ever to resource tools that help us regain control over our inner state. Let’s explore simple practices for self-regulation, the related science, and experience the profound benefits of slowing down. Understand how this sets the foundation for our outer-actions becoming an embodiment of peace, empathy and compassion. This class will involve practices that interweave asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha, mantra and yoga nidra.

7 Chakra Sound Healing: For Collective Balance & Well-Being

Filling

Sunday June 28, 2026 2:00pm - 3:15pm MDT

Bhakti Ballroom - Conference Center @ 580 Mountain Village Blvd, Mountain Village, CO 81435, USA

Limited Capacity filling up

Guided by the power of seven chakra-aligned crystal singing bowls and the primordial voice of the gong, this sound healing is a catalyst for deep energetic clearing and harnessing collective balance. As each bowl is awakened, its crystalline tone calls to a specific energy center, opening pathways for release, restoration, and flow. The gong acts as a powerful sonic ally—its waves moving like thunder and wind through the subtle body, dissolving stagnation, clearing ancestral and emotional imprints, and returning the nervous system to a natural state of harmony.

Participants are invited to surrender into sound, journey inward, and reconnect with the wisdom of the body and the rhythms of the Earth. Emerge from this session feeling grounded, expanded, connected, and energetically renewed with a new sense of well-being.
