Sound therapy classes and meditation
It is recommended that every friend who comes to the Yoga Barn should try a sound therapy class. How to identify? If you see the word “Sound” in the title of the course, don’t miss it if it’s “Live Sound”.
Sound Healing, also known as “sound healing” or “sound therapy,” uses the unique physiological and psychological effects of music to engage the audience in musical behaviors specially designed by music therapists — for example, the “singing bowl” we often hear about is one of the Musical Instruments commonly used by sound therapists. To relieve pressure and even eliminate the purpose of psychological barriers.
For the experience of sound therapy, it is not necessary to hold on to such a strong healing purpose, but simply to experience the rich expression of sound therapists from all over the world can make me very happy and satisfied.
In combination with the styles of different teachers, SOUND therapy classes are often combined with MEDITATION and yoga, each with its own characteristics, such as TIBETAN BOWLS SOUND MEDITATION, SOUND BATH MEDITATION, etc.
I particularly recommend the SOMATIC YIN YOGA LIVE SOUND JOURNEY every Sunday afternoon. Remember to queue up in front of the classroom 30 minutes early, so as not to miss the class because it is full.
PS, as of press time, it is still a regular class at 4:30 PM every Sunday. If you are going there specially, it is recommended to check the latest class arrangement on the Yoga Barn App or the official website in advance.
The format of the class is quite colorful: a trio, cello, singing bowl, and live soul singers participate together, but also need to work with the teacher’s Yoga movement guidance, “Yin Yoga” (Yin Yoga) practice.
In this class, the teacher will intentionally keep you in a yoga pose for a long time, so that you need to stretch your body enough, when you can’t stand the stretching, it is also the moment when the physical and mental chemistry begins to happen.
Memories of bad things come flooding in with the discomfort of stretching, both a concentrated outburst of negative emotions and, in a sense, an outlet for catharsis.
The ethereal live singing runs through the whole process, as if it were stitched into the body and emotions. After a long asana training, I finally got the command to lie flat, and my body relaxed, like a thousand sails passing by the side of a sinking boat. Tight and loose, also reminds me of meditation class teachers love to say, You just drop it.
Here are some other tips:
The extreme experience of Yoga Barn’s breathing class has also been shared by many people on social platforms, and my own tip is to be curious, but not addicted. You may choose the course in the way you are comfortable and accustomed to, nothing must be punched, “spirituality” itself lies in the happy and relaxed self, not in the mystery of the course.
Unlock more Ubud Yoga experiences
In addition to the classic and established option of the Yoga Barn, there are many interesting and beautiful yoga experiences worth exploring in Ubud:
Alchemy Yoga
The understanding of yoga is reconstructed with “wind, fire, water and earth”
Alchemy Yoga is also a popular yoga studio on the social network, in addition to its own special architectural shape, in the course design, their home is also quite new: each course is related to the elements.
In the course name, they do not use the traditional naming of different yoga schools (such as Vinyasa/Ashtanga, etc.), but use “fire class”, “earth class” and other ways, a total of fire, earth, water, air, karma, ether six courses.
At first glance, it seems quite mysterious, in fact, they only use these elements and a series of experiences of yoga classes for synesthesia, such as “fire class” refers to the hot sweat yoga class that will generate more heat, and “water class” is more focused on joint dredging and guiding the natural flow of energy in the body. While experiencing the course, thinking about its name, it will also give us some emotional understanding of yoga.
