Spring Yoga and Sound Bath in the Cherry Border

Participate in the Japanese tradition of ‘hanami’, flower viewing, as you take in the beauty of the cherries during this yoga session and sound bath. Flow through yoga poses that engage the entire body and calm the mind, grounded in the soothing and deeply restorative sounds of sound bath crystal bowls, gongs, and chimes. Allow the rhythm of movement and breath, complemented by the therapeutic vibrations of sound, to help you relax under the magnificent spring blossoms. This program is a partnership with the Park Avenue Community Center, to promote health and wellness throughout our community.

We recommend this event for adults and children ages 8 and up. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Though this event is free, please consider making a donation of $10 while registering to support our educational programs.

Audrey Uchimoto, AKA Sound Baths by Aud, is a passionate sound healer based on the Main Line of Philadelphia.
