Midweek Mindfulness: A Guided Meditation & Sound Healing Session
Wednesday, July 2 | 6-7 PM | Dance Floor
Instructor: Vera Pagan
Take a pause in your busy week to nourish the connection between your mind and body. Let’s create a shared oasis of peace, relaxation, and care — a gentle space to simply be.
Bring your yoga mat to stretch out on the floor, or cozy up in a chair with a cushion and maybe even a soft throw blanket. However your week is going, and however you’re feeling when you arrive — you are welcome here.
We’ll begin with a light moment to unwind, then ease into a guided meditation. I’ll be using a singing bowl or two to help guide us into deeper stillness and relaxation.
Mat Pilates for Back Pain
Wednesday, July 9 | 9-10 AM | Strength Studio
Instructor: Ruby Cabbell
Back pain is one of the most common medical problems worldwide. One of the best forms of exercise to aid chronic back pain is Pilates. If your back pain is muscular, factors such as having poor alignment and faulty movement patterns, tight muscles, and weak abdominals could be the cause. Proper alignment, stretching, and strengthening of the abdominals are some of the key pillars of Pilates.
In this class, we will talk about why you may be having chronic back pain and go over exercises that you can do anywhere to help fix it.

What is a sound bath? A sound bath is a meditative experience where participants are immersed in various sounds produced by instruments such as singing bowls, drums, and chimes to promote relaxation and healing.
What do I do in a sound bath? In a sound bath, you typically lie down comfortably and allow the sound vibrations to wash over you, inducing a state of deep relaxation and often leading to a meditative state.
I don’t meditate. Can I still take this class? Yes, you can still benefit from a sound bath class even if you don't meditate regularly. The experience is more about relaxation and immersion in sound rather than traditional meditation techniques.
What should I wear? Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to relax and lie down easily. Avoid anything too restrictive or uncomfortable.
What do I need to bring? You may want to bring a yoga mat to lie on, a blanket for warmth, a pillow for comfort, an eye mask for greater relaxation, and maybe a water bottle for hydration.
Why would I want to attend a sound bath? A sound bath may improve sleep quality, reduce stress and anxiety, promote deep relaxation, and support overall well-being through the harmonizing effects of sound vibrations.
What should I expect to feel during and after a sound bath session? During a sound bath session, you can expect to feel deeply relaxed, experience a sense of calmness, and possibly enter a meditative state. Afterward, you may feel rejuvenated, mentally clear, and emotionally balanced. Some participants also experience multiple nights of restful sleep after a sound bath.
How does sound healing work, and what scientific evidence supports its efficacy? Sound healing works by using specific frequencies and vibrations to resonate with the body's energy centers (chakras), promoting relaxation and balance. Studies suggest that sound therapy may help reduce stress and anxiety, alleviate pain, and improve overall well-being.
