Now onto everything we discovered from Friday to Sunday THIS WEEK!
Friday at Lovelight on Main in Forked River
A Sound Bath is a unique listening practice that utilizes a variety of instruments to create a healing environment for relaxation and restoring balance to the body and mind. After a short group centering you’ll get comfortable either lying down, Savasana style, or remaining in a supported seated position. The instruments used such as chimes, bells, singing bowls and drums are carefully woven together to create a unified fabric of sound. Often thought of as a meditative journey the sound waves are heard externally and also felt within the body encouraging a mindful state. Experience some of the many benefits of sound work such as, better sleep, clarity of thought, reduced fears, improved focus and creative thinking.

Yoga for Labor & Childbirth for Couples
Saturday at Sattva Yoga in Jersey City
Every birth is a unique experience for each couple. This workshop with Michelle Goitia of JC Bump & Baby will help you find the courage and comfort you’ll need during the birthing process. Through coping strategies that include movement, massage, breath, visualization, vocalization the partner can provide emotional support to the laboring woman and together they can manage the intensity of labor. You will have the opportunity to explore the process of labor and discover the strategies that might work best for you and your partner. While the approach of labor is from a yogic perspective, no previous yoga experience is necessary. We welcome couples at all stages of pregnancy. The information that you take away from this workshop can be used in any birth setting.

She, unfortunately, did not continue with her practice but reconnected with it when she retired from her corporate job in 2002 and has since become a serious yoga enthusiast. After her second retirement in 2017, she completed her 200-hour RYT certification, studying with Dina Crosta, Ellen Mosko, and Jamie Segal Hanley, with a focus on alignment based flow.
