in my classes i love to to utilise sound; including mantra, audible breath, intentionally curated playlists and mixes, and my crystal sound bowls.

✿ crystal sound bowls feel a certain way because their mechanism is via resonance — the way one vibrating object (the bowl) can influence another (the body). our bodies are highly receptive to sound vibrations. when the bowls are played, they produce sustained tones that ripple through our system, which can shift us into a calm & receptive state, where restoration on several levels naturally unfolds. this is the science of entrainment, meaning our brainwaves begin to synchronise with the frequencies of the bowls, gently easing us into alpha and theta states, which are deep meditative states associated with creativity, insight, and healing.

​

✿ in yoga there is nada yoga - the yoga of sound. sound is seen as a pathway to self-realisation, with both external sounds and internal sounds guiding us into states of awareness. the sound of the bowls acts as an external nada, harmonising our energetic body and awakening the inner vibrational field.
 

✿ like the bowls, mantra - whether spoken, chanted, or silently repeated, carries vibrational 'medicine'. when we make sound, we create internal resonance, activating our rest & digest capacity/parasympathetic nervous system, and balancing our energy centers (chakras). the repetition of sacred sounds is also so important in offering a steady rhythm for focus and expansion.
 

✿ my use of sound in my classes is an invitation to safely surrender more fully. the vibrations bypass the thinking mind and speak directly to the body, the heart, and the energetic self, dissolving tension. in this space, sound is not just heard - it is felt. and within that resonance, we sense and remember our own innate peace.
 

✿ lastly, music has been a theme all throughout my life in all sorts of expressions. i have worked as a dj for many years, so curating mixes for my classes + events is something i really enjoy. you can listen here if you are interested x
