Sound Healing and Meditation
Finding peace in the middle of a busy city requires a shift in perspective, not just a workout. These sessions combine the calming resonance of singing bowls with pranayama to help you settle your mind and reset your nervous system.
In my sound healing sessions, I guide participants into a state of deep rest, or Yoga Nidra. The vibrations of the singing bowls help to release tension, quiet the mind, and restore the body's natural harmony.
A look back at the blissful energy of a recent Hatha Siddhi yoga retreat. The combination of yoga and sound healing created a powerful space for connection and rejuvenation for all who attended.
"When you own your breath, nobody can steal your peace." This is the core of my meditation practice. This video is a reminder of the power of pranayama to center the mind.
A moment of deep relaxation in Savasana, or corpse pose, at the end of a class. This is where the body absorbs the benefits of the practice, guided by gentle instruction and stillness.
Guiding students into Savasana is one of the most important parts of my teaching. It is a sacred time for integration, where the mind becomes quiet and the body finds complete rest.
A simple daily routine to start the day with intention. It includes a gentle backbend like Wheel Pose (Chakrasana), followed by pranayama and meditation to center the mind and energize the body.
Seated in Padmasana, or Lotus Pose, for meditation. This classic posture helps to keep the spine straight and the mind focused, creating a stable foundation for inner exploration.
The practice of meditation is about observing our thoughts without judgment. In this stillness, we can find a sense of peace that we can carry with us throughout the day.
About Sound Healing & Meditation
In these sessions, we move away from physical exertion to focus on deep integration. Using Tibetan singing bowls, I guide you into Yoga Nidra—a state of conscious sleep—which helps release the accumulated tension of a long work week or a restless mind. This isn't just about relaxation; it is about retraining your brain to find stillness when you need it most.
How We Use Sound to Heal
Sound healing is often misunderstood as just 'background noise.' In my practice, it is a deliberate tool. The vibrations produced by Tibetan singing bowls are not chosen at random; they are used to bridge the gap between movement and rest. When we incorporate this into a session, the goal is to shift your brainwaves from the busy, active beta state to the slower alpha and theta states where genuine physical and mental repair happens.
Where We Practice
I host these sessions in dedicated spaces that allow for true quiet. You can find me at:
- Nrityog (Horamavu): A movement arts space designed for deep focus.
- LshVa (Koramangala): A studio setting that allows us to work on technique and sound integration.
Who This Is For
This practice is for anyone who feels that 'switching off' has become difficult. Whether you are coming from a high-stress corporate environment or just trying to navigate the daily grind, we work on pranayama and meditation to give you practical tools to manage your own mental state. We don't aim for a perfect, empty mind—we aim to observe your thoughts without letting them drag you around.
If you are interested in a more personal touch, I include a 10 to 15-minute sound therapy session in my 1-on-1 therapeutic yoga slots. For teams, I bring a simplified version of this into the workplace, proving that you don't need a mountain retreat to find a moment of silence.
