One of the most profound ways to create relaxation with the Gong is through a guided process known as Yoga Nidra or “yogic sleep”. Yoga Nidra induces deep relaxation, heightens awareness, integrates changes, and accelerates healing. It is a powerful tool for therapeutic change. The Symphonic Gong is an amazing instrument that facilitates balance and ease in our physical and subtle bodies, releases stress, and is an opportunity for our entire nervous system to adjust and heal itself. Gong Yoga Nidra is an experience of deep relaxation and healing.

There is a time to journal too about your experience. Please bring water, a yoga mat, blankets, a journal with pen or pencil or markers, and anything you may need to feel comfortable. There is a supply of yoga mats, blankets, bolsters, and eye pillows at the studio.
