the experience
our signature soundscape
The ‘Hum’ is a soundscape of our own design that combines digital and organic sound frequencies of 7.83hz and 40hz. 7.83hz or the ‘Schumann Resonance’ mimics the grounding vibrations of the earth. 40hz induces ‘Gamma’ brainwave activity which encourages collective peak performance and concentration.
These frequencies combined with the sound of our own singing bowls accompany all of our classes. By immersing ourselves in these sound-waves, the brain can produce the same frequency through the process of entrainment. You might find that practicing yoga with the Hum allows for increased focus and a sense of calm.
our style of yoga
Our class styles are not one style of Yoga, but reflect authentically the experience of our teachers. All classes are inclusive of:
Intention: A focus to invite into your practice; what do you want to cultivate as you move through your class?
Pranayama: Breathing practices and breath awareness; how are you breathing and how does it feel?
Asana: The physical element of a Yoga practice; a sequence of postures to move, open and strengthen your body.
Meditation: The invitation to be still with your thoughts; this looks and feels different for everyone.
Sound: As well as ‘the Hum’, Crystal Sound Bowls and chanting feature in every class; a tool to ground, focus and unite. Chanting is optional - listening is enough!
