Berkshire Yoga Festival 2024

Our bodies are the perfect receptors for sound, and sound alchemy instruments are the ideal vibrational transmitters that provide a simple and effective way to access the incredible benefits of meditation simply by listening to the beautiful tones and absorbing the therapeutic vibrations. When combined with the grounding and rejuvenating effects of Restorative yoga, participants cultivate expansiveness and spaciousness that transcend the everyday ordinary. Join Char Willingham for a guided, enriching, and nurturing experience with a multi-instrument Sound Bath and Restorative Yoga practice for improved vitality, mental clarity, and somatic well-being.

The spiritual journey is not meant to be a dirge. It’s meant to be a dance of the highest bliss and joy. But how
do you access it? Join master yogi, founder, musician, and internationally acclaimed teacher, Todd Norian, as
he guides you step-by-step into the life-affirming and deeply blissful teachings of Tantra Yoga that weave back
together the body, mind, and heart into an integrated meaningful matrix of relationship. Practice a variety of
blissful standing poses, hip openers, backbends, and twists.
