Elemental Stretch & Sound is a gentle, somatic experience combining slow stretching, intuitive movement and live sound to support nervous system regulation and release. Sound moves through the body as vibration, and research shows that resonant sound can help shift the nervous system into calmer, more coherent states.
For those who find it difficult to lie still during a traditional sound bath, this offering provides a supportive alternative. Gentle stretching and simple, optional movement allow the body to release tension more naturally while still receiving the benefits of sound.
Each session moves through an elemental theme, Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether... exploring qualities of support, flow, vitality, breath and stillness. No experience is required. You’re always welcome to move, pause or rest.
Elemental Stretch & Sound is offered as a five-week journey, as each session builds gently upon the one before it. While each class stands on its own, committing to the full series supports continuity, nervous system safety, and deeper integration through the elements.
Participants are encouraged to attend all sessions whenever possible. If you need to miss a week, you’re welcome to rejoin the following session and continue the journey.
Week 1:
Earth - Support & Grounding
This session focuses on slowing down and settling into the support beneath you. Through gentle stretching, minimal movement, and grounding sound, we explore how the body releases tension when it feels safe and held. Earth creates the foundation for the series, helping the nervous system downshift and arrive.
Week 2:
Water - Flow & Release
Water invites softness, fluidity, and emotional release. Gentle, wave-like movement paired with soothing sound helps dissolve holding patterns in the body. This session supports letting go without force, allowing movement and sound to carry what’s ready to shift.
Week 3:
Fire - Vitality & Inner Spark
Fire brings warmth, circulation, and gentle activation. With slightly more dynamic (yet still accessible) movement and supportive sound, this session awakens vitality and reconnects you with your inner spark, while maintaining ease and nervous system safety.
Week 4:
Air - Breath & Expansion
Air emphasizes breath, spaciousness, mental clarity and lightness. Movement follows the rhythm of the breath, with attention to the shoulders, lungs and heart center. Sound and silence work together to support openness, clarity, and a sense of expansion.
Week 5:
Ether - Stillness & Integration
Ether is the playing field for the other four elements. Ether invites subtle awareness, presence and integration. Movement is minimal as sound, stillness, and spaciousness take the lead. This closing session offers a sense of completion, time to rest, integrate and absorb the effects of the elemental journey.
If this feels like something your body has been asking for, you’re warmly invited to join!
