Want to supercharge your yoga practice? You can capture the interest of old and new students while boosting the effectiveness of your yoga classes by adding one simple tool: singing bowls! Tibetan/Himalayan or quartz crystal bowls bring the healing power of sound and vibration to a yoga practice and help you stand out in the ocean of other practitioners out there.
Bowls and yoga strive for the same goals: a rich mind/body/spirit experience. Singing bowls are a scientifically-based calming tool for the mind proven to produce frequencies that easily change beta brainwaves into the alpha/theta meditative state (through a process called “entrainment”). In addition, since the body is primarily water, vibrations produced from the bowls can travel through the physical form to relax into muscles, bones and organs. Every yogi knows that with a calm mind and relaxed body, you have the perfect container to access something deeper: spirit, voice of True Self, intuition, wisdom.
When you add singing bowls to your practice, your students can receive your yoga instruction on a deeper level, increasing their ability to move through weakness, fatigue, pain, mind-chatter and emotional tension.
Singing bowls can be seamlessly integrated into every aspect of your yoga practice from start to finish. You’ll find that bowls inspire flow and create a unique, memorable element to your class. Singing bowls blend with all yoga modalities and styles and let you decide how to integrate them into a practice…a lot or a little. Try these ideas:
The singing bowls are precious and powerful tools to be used BY you and THROUGH you. How remarkable that you will enjoy using them as much as your students will enjoy receiving them. Bringing joy, restoration and transformation into the world is the purpose of singing bowls. They are here to help the human condition. In your skilled hands, combined with your unique yoga practice, the singing bowls will amplify your healing intentions for helping your students.
