JULY 2025


WEEKLY YOGA SOUNDBATH & ACUPUNCTURE

Tuesdays | 10:30-11:30am on the Spa porch

Restorative Yoga Soundbath with Optional Auricular Acupuncture

Deep Stress Relief | Nervous System Reset | Inner Stillness


Unwind deeply in this soul-soothing class designed to restore your body, calm your mind, and reset your nervous system. This 75-minute experience blends the gentle, supported poses of Restorative Yoga with the healing resonance of sound bowls, guiding you into a meditative state of rest and renewal.


As you settle into extended, prop-supported postures, sound vibrations gently wash over you, releasing tension and encouraging a profound sense of inner peace. During the final relaxation pose, Savasana, you’ll have the optional opportunity to receive auricular (ear) acupuncture—a time-tested technique that targets specific points on the ear to relieve stress, support the nervous system, and enhance emotional well-being.


No prior yoga or acupuncture experience is necessary. All are welcome. Come as you are, and leave feeling lighter, balanced, and deeply restored.


___________


All students are required to complete our Acupuncture Intake form and our Fitness & Yoga waiver prior to the start of class. 


This session will be held outdoors at Island Retreat Spa. Please dress comfortably and bring water! All mats, props, blankets and supports are provided.
