This class will focus on sound as a healing force through cross-cultural perspectives. Students will learn about meditation and sound bathing with the use of various musical instruments. Breathing techniques and body movements for healing will also be explored. Students will investigate how sound can be used in everyday life to release stress and to calm the body and mind.
What to Expect: Students can expect to find a deeper understanding of how sound can help to heal the body and mind. No prior knowledge needed. The beginning of class will focus on discussion of the musical instruments used to help us heal. Then, students will experience sound bathing and meditation as a group. Time will be spent in galleries exploring instruments used in ceremonial practices and as healing tools by our ancestors. To conclude, students will be led through yoga positions, breath work, and mantras for healing.
