Full Moon, Fire Ceremony & Healing Gong

Come to AquarianYoga Center to celebrate the first Full Moon of 2012, an extremely auspicious day for spiritual practices. The Moon exerts much influence on the psychic activity of humans. In astrology the Moon represents the imaginative and reflective side of a person and is linked to the subconscious mind. The evening will start with a pranayam and short kriya (breathing exercise and yoga set) led by center founder/director Akalsukh Singh. A new meditation will be introduced at this event, which will be topped off with a wonderful, long Gong Bath! Gong Yoga has profound healing abilities. Immediate effects are common, since blood circulation is increased to bring in fresh nutrients, and will continue healing for days after the class. Students participating in multiple gong classes accumulate the most healing benefits. Eat lightly two hours prior to the session. Check website for registration and details.
