Sound Bath Experience
Do you know that our soul is comprised of harmony?" Leonardo DaVinci
In our world full of stress and challenges, it's important that we each find time and space to relax and utilize practices to help bring our WHOLE BEING into harmony and balance. The ancient practice of using Harmonic Sound is showing itself to be a powerful antidote to stress and anxiety in today's modern world. Sound interacts with us on all levels - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual - and can help our whole being return to a state of harmony and balance.
On Friday, May 27th you are invited to give yourself a reset with a Sound Bath Experience with a special out-of-town guest Greg Burns of Metta Vibrations. This experience can be a deeply meditative and relaxing experience, as well as very transformational. This session will begin at 7:00 pm and will incorporate the soothing sounds of Tibetan Singing Bowls, Symphonic Gong, Chimes, and more.
Greg will begin by discussing Sound and how it interacts with us and why it can be a powerful tool for our wellness. After inviting participants to get comfortable and offering some guided relaxation, Greg will begin filling the atmosphere with the harmonic tones of the various instruments. The sounds will last over an hour before being guided back to waking consciousness. Time to ground, reflect and ask questions about the experience will be offered before concluding the session. Total length of the session is 1.5 hours.
When: Saturday, July 2nd at 7pm
Where: 128 South Court Street. New River Yoga in Fayetteville, WV

Ashtanga Yoga Exploration Workshop by Barbara Stanley
Ashtanga Yoga is a system of yoga transmitted to the modern world by Sri. K Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009).

The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.

NEW RIVER YOGA RETREAT
with TODD NORIAN
AUGUST 26TH - 28TH, 2022 LOCATION: ACE ADVENTURE RESORT
WELCOME TO YOUR BEST YOGA NATURE ADVENTURE RETREAT EVER!
Join internationally acclaimed yoga teacher, founder, and author, Todd Norian, and a merry band of heart followers as he takes you on the yoga adventure of your lifetime!
Our focus will be on the amazing five elements – earth, water, fire, air, and sky, and how they relate to our body and mind, surrounded by the most gorgeous natural setting of the New River Gorge area of West Virginia.
The spiritual heart opens when we balance the five elements within. When out of balance, you can become overwhelmed and stuck (too much earth), emotionally stressed out (too much water), unmotivated and lost (not enough fire) or you become a workaholic (too much fire), scattered or fearful (too much air), or spacey and ungrounded (too much sky).
The Ashaya Yoga® method brings about a balance of all five elements that leaves you feeling strong, confident, peaceful, openhearted, and ready to thrive in life. Safe and accessible to all levels of practitioners, Ashaya Yoga weaves together body, mind, and heart into an extraordinary blend of deep acceptance, recognition of a greater energy, and profound inner strength that helps us stand strong through all the storms of life.
