In honor of the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon, drop in with Nandi Yoga teacher, Reiki Master, classically trained musician, and sound bath facilitator, Alyssa Lauren Stone.

A lunar eclipse can only happen during a Full Moon, when the Earth passes directly between the Sun and Moon and casts its shadow across the Moon's face. Across ancient traditions, eclipses were treated differently than an ordinary Full Moon. Where the Full Moon simply asks us to release, the eclipse asks us to see first— to bring what's hidden into the light before we can let it go. It's a night for shadow work: not confronting the dark, but finally being able to look at it clearly.

We begin with a cacao ceremony. Raw ceremonial-grade cacao is a heart-opening plant medicine (non-psychedelic) used for centuries in Mesoamerican ritual. Rich in magnesium, theobromine, and anandamide (also known as the brain's bliss molecule), cacao gently elevates mood, sharpens focus, and opens the body to deeper states of awareness. No crash. No jolt. Just clarity... the kind that makes shadow work feel like curiosity instead of confrontation.

From there, we move into Restorative Yoga, a practice backed by research showing how it can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, lower cortisol, and release tension held in the connective tissue. Supported entirely by props, each pose asks only one thing of you: let go.

Then the sound begins.

Gongs. Himalayan singing bowls. Frame drums. A harmonium. Chimes. Each instrument produces vibrations that travel through the body at a cellular level, recalibrating brainwave states, reducing anxiety, and stimulating the vagus nerve. Under a Full Moon eclipse, that vibration becomes a kind of mirror; the sound doesn't just soothe, it reveals.

Wear cozy layers and come with an open heart! Spaces are limited to preserve the intimacy of the experience. We encourage early registration since space is limited.
