If you’ve ever been to one of my Zumba classes you’ve undoubtedly figured out I LOVE to dance. It makes me happy and has always been a passion of mine. But the driving force behind that enjoyment is really the music. I LOVE music!! I seek out restaurants with live music every chance I get, I listen to music whenever I’m in my car driving, I even enjoy singing along to Karaoke music from time to time (although not so sure about those around me). So it will come as no surprise that we have incorporated music into a handful of our workshops and classes at BL.
First of all, every second Saturday of the month at 8 am, Ronda’s husband, Mike, is treating her students to live music as he plays his guitar and sings. Such a treat to get all of the benefits of a Better Backs class while being serenaded by live music!!
Secondly, over the next couple of months, we have FOUR workshops that incorporate music, some in the form of sound and sound healing. I wanted to take a moment to bring these to your attention so you could mark your calendars and sign up…
Yoga with Live Music: Friday, April 12th from 6-7:30 pm with Claudia and her brother, Ryan. Claudia will be leading you through a restorative better backs class while her brother provides live cello music. Super cool experience!!
Sound for the Soul: Friday, May 3 from 6-7:30 pm with Claudia once again but this time the restorative yoga class will be 60 minutes followed by 30 minutes of sound bowl healing. The class will focus on how you can use yoga, breath work and sound bowl healing to restore and relax both your bodies and your minds. Good stuff!!
Yin Gong Bath Immersion: Friday, June 7 from 6-7:30 pm with Justin. This will be a 60 minute gentle yin yoga practice followed by a 30 minute gong bath savasana. This is a very meditative and relaxing experience!!
Silent Disco Yoga: Thursday evening, June 20 from 6:30-7:30 pm with Jamie (7:30-8:30 social hour). This is the first time we have offered this class and we are super geeked about it!! The venue is The Clubhouse on Union Lake road right down the street and, weather permitting, you will be yoga-ing in the backyard on the lake. But if mother nature doesn’t cooperate, we will just move inside the beautiful clubhouse. The experience involves a 60 minute vinyasa practice while immersing yourself in music played through wireless headphones. Join Jamie as we celebrate Summer Solistice together in this unique way.
So there you go…lots of options to incorporate some good vibrations into your life.
Music can be energizing, music can be calming and music can be healing.
Let music be a gift in your life today and every day!!
