According to the law of physics, everything vibrates. The frequency at which an object naturally vibrates is resonance and each part of the body has its own natural resonance. Stress, illness, environmental factors cause the resonance to get out of tune, and sound healing helps tune the body, recalibrating and returning the body to its inherent healthy, balanced, natural resonance. In this healing session, a variety of frequencies from instruments such as crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and drums are utilized to tune the body. This subtle energy therapy allows the body to heal itself, influences our emotional bodies as well as our physical bodies, slowing brain waves and producing powerful effects at a cellular level shifting from disease to ease.

In an ideal world, every yoga class would provide one-on-one guidance to help you unlock the potential of each technique. Unfortunately, that's just not possible. Private instruction can help you get more out of your yoga practice and make group classes more enjoyable.
Our Yoga Healing Practitioner Brooke is a 200hr trauma-informed registered yoga teacher with a passion for helping you feel aligned in your mind, body and spirit.
What Brooke's clients are saying:
"Brooke brought me more awareness about my body and breath, as well as educated me about yoga and its types. I became more mindful of myself. I definitely appreciate Brooke's personal approach and our communication. The last 10 minutes of our lessons are the best, especially when she reads poems.
She is an amazing teacher and a very good person. I'm so glad I know her and I definitely recommend others to get private lessons with Brooke." - Ana F.
*An assessment is required if this is your first time working together. This appointment creates an opportunity for Brooke to get to know your personal goals and to see if it is a good fit to work together.
