What is Kriya Yoga?

Kriya is a Sanskrit word that means action. While there are many types of action, it is through the awareness exercises that allow for the evolution of spirit within. We cultivate our energy body through movement, breathwork, mudras, mantras, tapping, shaking, stretching and toning to clear our energy channels and realign oneself to an authentic human experience. Classes are typically accompanied by music to inspire the flow of energy.

In Kriya we take action through the processes of stillness, awareness, connection, meditation, and dynamic movement. In this, it allows us to get into our bodies to release stagnate energy, blockages, non-positive thoughts, patterns, fears, and stories that is sitting deep inside our bodies. We take action to cleanse these blocks by opening the energy channels.

What is a dreamstate soundbath?

A soundbath is a meditative experience facilitated by the use of gongs, crystal and Tibetan bowls, chimes, flutes, drums and other instruments to slow down the overactive mind. As the instruments help take us into a predominant Theta brainwave state, we are able to become the witness to the energetics of our mind/body/soul connection. The specific frequencies, harmonics and cosmic sounds help to realign ourselves to a balanced state and help remove stagnations and blockages that keep us from our optimal health. These sounds help to reduce entanglements and distortions our bodies hold on to through the stories and traumas stuck in our body.

It is called a soundbath as every cell of our body is bathed in vibrations, gently releasing old patterns and smoothing out the rough edges we hold onto. Being in Theta state sends signals to the body to relax deeply and engage the restoration process. One hour of a sound bath is equivalent to 3-4 hours of deep sleep at night.
