"Experience the Healing Vibrations of Sound Bowl Therapy

Join us for a free community event where you can immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of crystal singing bowls.

Participants often report improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and a profound sense of peace. ​

Time: 7pm
Location: Pause Yoga Studio Riverside Location
Admission: Free and open to the public.
​*We collect donations, and all proceeds are donated to a local non-profit. Each quarter, we select one organization to receive these funds.

Whether you're seeking relief from daily stress or simply curious about sound healing, this session offers a serene environment to experience the benefits firsthand. No prior experience is necessary; everyone is welcome.​

Come relax, rejuvenate, and harmonize your mind and body with us.​"
