Candlelight sound bath in ChicagoRestorative yoga and a live sound bath, by candlelight.
This class pairs a curated sound bath with restorative yoga. You settle into fully supported postures, with bolsters, blankets and blocks adjusted until you're completely comfortable, while Alejandro plays instruments around the room. The candles are lit and there's nothing to keep up with.

What to expect
The point is deep rest: letting tension go and giving your nervous system a chance to slow down. Anyone who wants to unwind can come, including complete beginners.
Alejandro Salinas teaches it. He came to yoga through the Iyengar tradition with Gabriel Halpern, trained as a teacher at Moksha Yoga, studied Thai massage, and has taught anatomy and clinical massage at The Soma Institute.
The sound bath is also the second half of two Evening Retreats: Ground & Restore on Sundays and Flow & Restore on Wednesdays.
“This class quickly became a necessary part of my Sundays & preparing for the week ahead. It's wonderfully restorative, contemplative, & relaxing.”
