Class Protocols
Good news, masks are no longer required. However, students may choose to wear a mask if more comfortable doing so. Covid-19 Release form will still have to be signed prior to class. If you have a fever or have been around someone with Covid 19 we ask that you please don’t attend class.
We will not ask students if they have been vaccinated as that is a personal choice and will be left to each individual. We ask that students respect each other’s privacy as to their own choice to be vaccinated or not.
We will still continue to clean in accordance with state guidelines and will be practicing social distancing. We ask that you please do the same.
Please bring your own mat, blanket and props as we will no longer be providing these items

Vibrations for the Soul
June 3rd at 12:30 to 2:00
With Stacey Maloney
$40
Does sound therapy resonate with you? Then you will love this experience! Tuning fork therapy is using vibrational tuning forks to gently move energy within the body, mind and soul, restoring inner balance. This is an energetic adjustment that will leave you feeling lighter, happier and calmer.
We will begin with a brief talk about our energetic bodies, chakras and our biofield (aura). Participants will get comfy cozy on their yoga mats and enjoy the group tuning fork meditation. All will be immersed in the sounds of the crystal bowl, crystal pyramid and tuning forks. The practitioner will clear and tune the collective energy of the group while using tuning forks on and around the body to ground the body, open the chakras and work in the energy field creating coherency. The meditation will be sealed with integrating each participants’ energy, they will be wrapped in light and there will be a brief group discussion of everyone's experiences.
Bring your yoga mat, blanket, pillow, socks, favorite crystal, etc... anything that will make you feel relaxed, calm and warm. Please bring plenty of water (hydration is important during energy work).
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Due to the nature of the high vibrational frequencies, Biofield Tuning is NOT suggested for individuals who: Are pregnant, have active cancer, are in the end of life stage, have electrical medical implants, (pacemakers), have had recent concussions.
