Sonic Tonic: Restorative Yoga with Tibetan Bowls
September 27, October 11 & November 15
Ojas Yoga Center in El Cerrito
Sonic Tonic is a restorative experience with Tibetan bowls, bells, and gong to help you to slow down in a luscious, supportive and safe way. We provide and hold space for you to come into your own alignment and receive your body’s own wisdom through restorative yoga supported by the mystical, ambient sounds of the Tibetan bowls.
Our bodies know how to regain balance and heal after trauma, injury or excess stress. How can we position ourselves to listen? In a world of demanding schedules and responsibilities, it is challenging to cultivate the spacious timelessness needed to regain balance and calm. Jacqueline holds a sacred space for each participant to deeply rest, integrate and embody an inner spaciousness.
Deeply rest, be nourished, restore, and awaken to your own brilliance.
In Restorative Yoga one practices stillness to rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit. It allows us room to think clearly, reconnect with our natural state and to heal. The use of props in Restorative Yoga helps support our body in positions to achieve total relaxation. This practice is known for activating the parasympathetic nervous system which helps the body to become less vulnerable to stress related illnesses.

Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thought. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.”
