Immerse yourself in an evening of sonic bliss- weaving the sacred sounds of chimes, crystal bowls and drums with a supreme release yoga practice.

Supreme Release yoga (SRY) is a therapeutic approach to asana that aims to gently decompress the spine. Founded in the tantric vision of the body, the physical practice is a gateway to a deep, meditative, inward experience. Methodically releasing long held bodily tension, SRY has a profound effect on body, mind, and spirit that is nourishing, revitalizing, and revelatory. While this practice is incredibly advanced, it is still accessible and suitable for many people because you’ll learn to utilize props in a way that truly supports you.

Accompanied by the gentle melodies from crystal singing bowls, rain sticks, and chimes, allow your your anxieties to be carried away and into a deep rest. In a process called entrainment, these beautiful sounds will help to synchronize your deep internal rhythms through their soothing tones. Sound meditations have been used for thousands of years as a technique to relax the mind and body while developing a deeper connection to self, as well as source.

Together, SRY and sound harmonize, expanding the benefits of each other. SRY will settle your mind and open the subtle channels of your body to become more available to the meditative benefits of sound. This opens the door to experience the full potential of the subtle vibrations- soothe the nervous system, calm and clarify the mind, deeply relax the body, invite inner revelation and meditation, and so much more.

This gathering begins with a guided SRY practice which will lead you into a therapeutic supported shavasana for the sound healing meditation. Time will be saved at the end to reflect, share, and integrate the experience.

Supreme Subtle Sound is suitable for all levels of experience with yoga and sound. This will be a primarily seated class and then reclined for the meditation (alternatives can be given for anyone unable to lay down for 30-40 minutes). It is highly beneficial for anyone who experiences stress, joint or back pain, anxiety, hypermobility, or depletion. Take a moment from your full, busy life to slow down, decompress, and tend to yourself.

Join Abby for a ritual evening of sound and meditation.

This restorative approach to entering the heart space encourages a state of availability and receptivity, which allows you to fully bask in its sweetness!

Hanuman

Known for both his mischief and maturity, his sweetness and sincerity, Hanuman is a form of the divine who is both approachable, and beloved by many. His lilas (divine play or stories) are an inspiration for our own growing bhakti (devotion). He shows us the power of love in action, and how an open heart can inspire all aspects of our lives.

My friend Alan Kuhl and I are headed to my home studio, Bhakti Barn Yoga in Millburn NJ for an evening of kirtan!

Alan and Sonia met in the central PA kirtan scene in 2022, and have been playing together ever since. Each bringing a unique perspective and background, they share a passion for mantra, chanting, and the beauty of communal practice. They love to weave within their kirtans personal reflections, contemplations, and stories of the deities. Kirtans with Sonia and Alan always aim to be welcoming, warm, thoughtful, and fun.

Join me in a welcoming, low key atmosphere. We’ll chant mantra and I’ll share stories, we’ll have space for discussion and to connect as a spiritual community.

This is a more home style kirtan, so we’ll be even more relaxed than studio kirtan. This means that if you have a song you want to lead, a poem to share, a meditation, a story, a dance, you are welcome and encouraged to do so. This style is really a sharing of our practice, a communal sadhana.

The suggested donation is $10-20 (cash or venmo day of the event)- no one will be turned away if they cannot donate.

“Devotion is a way of being, it's not something you do. It's dedication to finding awareness and Love. Chanting is like asanas for the mind and the heart.” -Krishna Das

The tradition of yoga is vast, and includes beautiful and deep teachings about supreme love and devotion. At the heart of these teachings is the practice of Kirtan- call and response chanting of mantras.

In this gathering you'll experience an introduction to chanting, learn about the mantras and why they're used, and basic pronunciation. Sonia will share some of her favorite stories from the Vedic lineage, tales of the gods and goddesses and how they relate to our every day lives. This is a welcome opportunity for anyone who is curious about other aspects of Yoga in a relaxed environment. No experience is needed, and this gathering is created with those totally new to Bhakti in mind.

The word kirtan can be understood to mean call, recite, praise, or describe. It is truly one of the most beloved bhakti practices- it is accessible, deep, and profound.

You’ll be taught sacred sanskrit mantras and their meaning, before we sing them together call and response style. Along with chanting, I also share my favorite stories and teachings about the deities. No experience is necessary to savor the sweetness of devotion, and all are welcome! Bring your kids, your roommate, your bestie, and let’s sing.

Supreme Release Yoga (SRY) is a yoga practice that gently reaches into, decompresses and nurtures the spine – the axis of physical health and the conduit of the spiritual journey.. The result of SRY is body healing, life transformation and inner awakening. There are no yoga mats, no mirrors, no performance, and no workout.

Instead, we are make a sacred pilgrimage within to discover the Self of the self. In SRY, you find an approach rooted in authentic vedic teachings and rooted in the radical act of love as a means to truth. We remember, “yoga teaches you to love yourself, starting with the body“
