sound nidra

 Sound Nidra Workshop - An integration of restorative yoga postures with a live healing sound bath.  YOGA FOR LIVE MUSIC!

As in traditional Yoga Nidra, a Sound Nidra session is designed to invoke yogic sleep or deep calming of the mind. In the Sound Nidra session, international performing musician and music therapist (MA, MT-BC) Eric Fraser teams up with his wife and master teacher/yogini Ruthie Fraser to bring live music and healing sounds to supported yoga postures that progressively open and unwind various territories of the physical body and subtle body. Participants will be guided into restorative yoga postures with straps, blocks and bolsters, which are accompanied by nourishing live music and sound for healing and meditation. The progression of both postures and sound offers a complete restorative experience on multiple levels. Instrumentation typically includes the Indian bansuri (bamboo) flute, voice, gongs, tuning forks, sitar, tabla, frame drum and other percussion instruments. Involves some simple vocal participation, no musical experience required.
