Restorative Yoga, Sound Bath & Iced Tea Circle
2026-07-12 16:00 - 18:00 (America/Denver) | Singing Bowls of the Rockies, Cave of the Winds, 100 Cave of the Winds Rd, Manitou Springs, 80829
A deeply restful experience of supported, mostly supine poses paired with gentle sound vibrations to calm the nervous system and quiet the mind — inviting you to simply be, exactly as you are
Join Singing Bowls of the Rockies, restorative yoga instructor Valeria Mendoza, and Dr. Gigi Turner, PsyD, for an evening designed to help the body soften, the mind slow down, and the nervous system fully unwind.
This class is an invitation to step out of the mindset of self-improvement and into simple presence. The experience offers space to rest exactly as you are — without pressure to change, perform, or achieve.
Restorative yoga uses fully supported, mostly supine postures held for several minutes at a time to allow the body to release tension and the nervous system to shift out of stress mode. With minimal movement and no strain, the practice encourages deep physical and mental unwinding.
As the body settles, a gentle sound bath is layered in using resonant tones and vibrations. These frequencies can help guide the brain into slower, more relaxed states, while the subtle vibrations are often felt throughout the body — supporting a sense of grounding, calm, and internal spaciousness.
Together, the restorative yoga and sound bath create an environment where nothing is required of you. No fixing — just rest, awareness, and the opportunity to reconnect with yourself in a quieter way.
After the experience, guests are invited to stay for a peaceful iced tea circle with herbal iced teas and gentle conversation.

How Sound Baths Facilitate Self-Care:
Sound baths are a powerful tool in the journey of self-care. Through the therapeutic use of sound vibrations, participants are enveloped in a cocoon of healing frequencies that can lead to deep states of meditation and relaxation. These vibrations work at a cellular level to:

Reduce Stress and Anxiety: The soothing sounds help calm the mind, easing stress and anxiety, and promoting a state of peacefulness and mental clarity.

Enhance Emotional Balance: The immersive experience can facilitate emotional release and healing, fostering a sense of harmony and balance.

Improve Sleep Quality: By relaxing the nervous system, sound baths can improve sleep patterns, helping you feel more rested and rejuvenated.

Increase Self-Awareness: The introspective nature of the experience encourages a deeper connection with oneself, enhancing mindfulness and self-awareness.

Mending Generational Trauma through Sound
2026-05-19 19:00 - 20:30 | Singing Bowls of the Rockies, Cave of the Winds, 100 Cave of the Winds Rd, Manitou Springs, 80829
Welcome to a serene gathering where we invite you to explore the healing of intergenerational trauma through the restorative vibrations of a sound bath. Intergenerational trauma, a concept that is gaining attention in psychological circles, refers to the transference of emotional and psychological wounds from one generation to another. This phenomenon, observed in the wake of mass tragedies, family abuse, and societal oppression, can influence our DNA, behavior, and mental health across multiple generations.
Recent studies, such as those investigating Holocaust survivors and their descendants, have found evidence of trauma’s impact on epigenetic markers – chemical changes that regulate DNA activity. This legacy of pain, fear, and worldviews shaped by past horrors can be passed down, even subconsciously, as anxiety and an inherited sense of danger, permeating through our very genes and behaviors.
Our event, steeped in empathy and understanding, is not just about acknowledging these deep-seated traumas but also about fostering resilience that can be equally transmitted. Through the transcendent medium of sound, we’ll engage in somatic healing – aligning our bodies and minds with frequencies that can help rewrite our narratives.
In this sound bath, we aim to dislodge the imprints of inherited trauma, replacing them with sensations of safety and acceptance. As we journey through the soothing sounds, we hope to break the cycle of hurt, embrace activism within ourselves, and learn to speak openly and without shame about our collective past, integrating it into a narrative of empowerment and growth.
Join us in this holistic approach to wellbeing, where we’ll not only confront the shadows of yesteryears but also illuminate the path to a brighter, more harmonious future for ourselves and the generations that follow. Our sound bath practitioner, Gigi Turner PsyD, is always available to chat about your sound bath experience for up to an hour, should you wish to discuss anything that you felt or opened up to during the session.

Self Care - Reclaim Your Peace: Sound Bath
2026-05-17 15:00 - 16:30 | Singing Bowls of the Rockies, Cave of the Winds, 100 Cave of the Winds Rd, Manitou Springs, 80829
Peace is not something we find outside of ourselves—it is something we return to. Yet in the busyness of everyday life, stress, responsibilities, and constant stimulation can pull us away from that inner stillness.
Reclaim Your Peace Sound Bath is designed as an intentional space to reconnect with that calm. As the resonant tones of crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs, chimes, and other instruments fill the room, the nervous system naturally begins to slow. Breathing deepens, the body softens, and the mind gradually settles.
Sound affects the body on a deeply physical level. Gentle frequencies can help guide the brain toward slower, more restorative states associated with relaxation and recovery. In this state, many people experience a profound sense of relief—as if the body finally has permission to let go.
This experience is an opportunity to step away from the demands of daily life and return to a place of balance within yourself. When the session ends, participants often leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded.
Take this time to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the peace that has been within you all along.
