Workshop
Therapeutic Yoga and Sound Healing

Rachel Jennine Goudey, Psy.D., C-IAYT
$45 | $40 Early bird, use promo code SOUND, exp. 6/1/25
Therapeutic Yoga and Sound Healing are remedies for the challenges of our stressful times, and blends restorative yoga with guided breathwork and sound healing. Accompanied by the healing sounds of various instruments, you will be gently guided to relax into postures that allow for deep relaxation and restoration of the entire body including tight muscles, restricted fascia, overstimulated nervous systems, and an overactive or out of balanced mind, resetting and restoring a natural rhythm to your whole being. The practice creates a calm, supportive and nurturing environment in which you can relax and let go, allowing the innate wisdom of your body to naturally restore balance and well-being. Whether you just need to decompress from stress, recover from injury or if you’re dealing with chronic illness, this workshop will help your body, mind and spirit to relax, rejuvenate, and heal.
No prior yoga experience is necessary.
Please register in advance, space is limited. Thank you!

Kalyani Carlee Cohen Barr
Pranayama, or controlling of vital energy, brings great benefits to the body and mind. Join Kalyani in practices to invite: energy in the body, a calm and clear mind, balance in body systems/nervous system, a strong immune system, and more.

In addition, more advanced Prana Mudra, Ganesha Mudra, Sivananda Healing Breath, and Sat Kriya, and others will be introduced (Kalyani has most recently learned from Margabandhu Marturano, IYINJ and Richard Miller of i-Rest). Learn not only how to breathe efficiently, but why it is so important for health. Feel free to bring questions. For experienced practitioners and beginners alike.
