Sound Bath with Jeny Dawson
Week of June 28, 2025
Yin Yoga & Sound Healing
We live in a society obsessed with overachievement. The quest to strive beyond our limits has taken over and burnout, exhaustion and sickness are more prevalent than ever. There comes a point when your body and mind need to slow down and rest. There is tremendous wisdom in not pushing yourself too hard and understanding that you deserve a break.
Yin Yoga and Sound Healing welcome you to quiet your mind, be still and allow your physical, mental/emotional, and energetic bodies to reset and rejuvenate.
Join Jeny for Yin Yoga & Sound Healing, a practice of self-care to harmonize body and mind.
Yin Yoga recognizes that our anatomy varies, especially at the skeletal level. Jeny’s classes are designed to help you understand the unique physical differences of each person, while providing a space to explore your individual body’s range of motion. Each student learns how to adapt postures for their body to experience optimal benefits.
Yin is an introspective practice that offers a chance to turn inward and nurture the calm, quiet center that is innate in all of us. Most postures are seated or reclined with
3-7 minute holds. Holding each posture while relaxing the muscles allows the deeper, dense connective tissues to be safely and therapeutically stretched, stimulated, and strengthened.
This style of yoga will challenge the mind to remain present while physically and mentally releasing tension. Sound healing, when used in combination with Yin Yoga, reduces stress and anxiety, and encourages positive effects on the nervous system, sleep cycle, mood, and immune system. The vibration and frequency of the instruments helps to relax and let go of tension.
Expect to leave this class relaxed and renewed with a sense of calm energy. Beginner friendly – open to all levels!
