Yoga Mechanics Montclair

Experience a special evening of gentle yoga and transformative sound healing meant to nourish your nervous system and soothe your soul.
YM co-owner Annette will guide you through a calming, gentle yoga session, setting the stage for a 45-minute immersive sound bath led by Justin Ortiz. Our team will create a meditative symphony designed to relax your mind, body, and spirit using bowls and other resonant instruments.
This unique combination of movement and sound offers more than relaxation: it's a chance to explore the powerful healing vibrations of ancient traditions.
For Annette's birthday wish: all proceeds will go to The Loveland Foundation, supporting their mission to bring opportunity and healing to communities of color.
Stay afterward for a toast and some light bites!
What is a Sound Bath? A sound bath is an immersive experience where a skilled practitioner uses sound to encourage deep relaxation and stress relief. During the session, you’ll rest comfortably, eyes closed, as waves of sound help calm your mind and body. This ancient practice, rooted in the meditative traditions of Tibetan monks, harnesses the vibrational power of singing bowls and other instruments to awaken your parasympathetic nervous system—promoting rest, healing, and a sense of inner peace.
Whether you're seeking better sleep, reduced stress, or a deeper connection to your meditation practice, this evening offers a gentle path toward renewal and balance.
Reserve your spot now; spaces are limited! Questions? Email us at info@yogamechanics.com.
