Join Lia Romani for an incredible night of SPA Yoga® Bliss while being enveloped in a bath of soul-stirring sound created by Lightwork Orchestra! SPA Yoga® is a slow-flow, floor-based, whole-body sensory experience based on Fluid Yoga sequencing. Lia will guide you through a mindful practice engaging all of the senses. All levels welcome!
Lightwork Orchestra is a collaborative duo of Mitch Rosenberg on didgeridoo, jaw harp, shruti box, and overtone singing with John McKusick playing gongs, hand pans, Indian Slide Guitar, throat singing, and a goodie bag of sacred world instruments. A Lightwork Orchestra performance is one-part sound bath, one-part live band, and one-part psychedelic projection art light show. Our sound journey begins with nature sounds that will put your mind at ease as you begin to travel alongside the didgeridoo through sonic realms of peace and tranquility and burst in and out of more focused rhythmic jams with shakers, hand pans, flutes, drums, and singing. Just then they’ll blast off into outer space with looping delays, gongs, and chimes. Gently returning you to your body in restorative bliss. https://www.instagram.com/lightworkorchestra/
