Vibration is in all of us. It is the essence of our existence. The sound of the universe is the sound of our Prana, the sound expressed in Ohm. Awakening this vibration, connecting to and merging with it, can be deeply transformative and healing.
Join Yuval Samburski and Anne Koza for this special offering: a deep healing vibrational event of live sound coupled with hands-on energetic experience. Awaken and invigorate your deepest healing properties through the magic of rich and delicate sounds and the undeniable power of the ancient practice of Reiki. Yuval will share a unique combination of musical instruments (chimes, Sansula, Tibetan bowls, and more) together with live voice, to create a vibrational elevation of the space outside as well as inside of us. Anne will couple this deep and gentle practice with a powerful exchange of vibrational energy, hands on, to each participant individually. In this complex musical and energetical landscape, vibrations come together to merge. This is where consciousness raises up high and true healing can begin. Come and experience some of Sound Healing’s most colorful musical instruments, the power of energetic touch & float into transformative, healing magic from deep within. Yuval Samburski E-RYT 500, YACEP, is an Israeli-born, NYC-based yoga instructor, teacher trainer and mentor, sound healer and Reiki practitioner. He has a background in the performing arts, photography, and dance; has appeared in films and on stage in New York and Washington DC; and holds a degree in music technology from New York University. Yuval is best known for his deep, soulful chanting and signature live-music sound healing sessions as well Pranayama teachings, Vinyasa and restorative yoga. Yuval’s teaching style is mindful and fluid, linking all movement back to the breath and providing a safe and warm environment for students to explore their own selves, making their own self-discoveries through practice. You can count on smart sequencing, grounded in clear alignment cues, strong breath awareness, and core stabilization. Yuval is a teachers’ teacher. Yuval is lead Kripalu faculty and has led teacher trainings all over the world including China and the US, and is often leading retreats all over the world as well.

Anne Koza E-RYT 500, YACEP An adventurous and playful yogi at heart, Anne believes in the connecting power of yoga. Teaching since 2009, Anne leads with a desire to create a supportive space for her students to reconnect to themselves through being present in breath and to explore through mindful movement. She designs her sequences to be both challenging and rejuvenating. Deeply caring about the structural alignment of each pose, Anne first addresses the physicality, then layers in the subtle elements of the practice. With a degree in Biology and Psychology, Anne studied the impact of yoga on the mind and body and believes in yoga’s inherent value for holistic wellbeing. Anne received her 200HR from Back Bay Yoga, and her 500HR from Super Soul Farm led by Raghunath Cappo, where she spent a month living and learning at Radhanath Swami’s Govardhan Eco Village in Mumbai, India.

Do you wish you could work through your grief t0
The natural reaction to loss is grief. You may feel a jumble of emotions all at once or a strong emotion – like anger or guilt – could pop up at any time. This is all normal. One way to help you feel relief from these emotions and other grief symptoms is to move the body. In this Yoga for Grief and Loss class, we will use breath, meditation, mantra, movement, and rest to help acknowledge where your grief lives in your body, let it go, and open up to possibility. "Grief is a normal process in life and healing - but we all get stuck - and sometimes need a safe place to move grief forward. And even if you are not "stuck", but would like a safe place to practice yoga and remember your loved one - this is the class for you." C.B.
