THE SOUND OF WELLNESS

In this session wellness instructor, Jeanne Licurse will introduce you to the beautiful melodies of ancient Tibetan singing bowls. No effort is required, the bowl tones engender wellness and consciousness as you relax deeply throughout the meditation. These remarkable frequencies resonate with our DNA, calm the nervous system and construct new neuro pathways in the brain. This meditation state is among the deepest forms of relaxation possible, the “falling asleep” stage of consciousness.

Jeanne Licurse came to yoga through her love of natural healing and holistic education. As a homeopath and Montessori educator she recognized and valued the intelligent conversation, the nurturing environment and the remarkable sense of well-being that yoga provides.

Jeanne’s asana practice combines the art of yoga, the sophistication of brain science and the sacred sounds of Tibetan singing bowls.
