Tibetan Singing Bowls are made of seven metals that produce a rich, complex tone consisting of a specific, dominant pitch with multiple overtones.  This unity of a single tone from the diversity of many metals creates great power that can be harnessed to soothe and heal your physical body, emotions, mind and spirit.
The sound waves from the struck bowl penetrate the body and vibrate your various cells and organs.  At the same time, the single tone brings all aspects of your physicality into harmonious alignment.  Think of a rowing crew.  The more synchronized their sculling, the greater the power produced with each stroke.  A sound bath aligns the various aspects of your body, quiets the mind, calms the emotions and smooths the energy field surrounding the body.  Join Dr. Catherine Grytting for an hour of bathing in the cleansing, healing sounds of Tibetan Singing Bowls.

 

Stress Reduction Gong Bath with Wayne Marto

See Wayne Marto's Beneficial Sound page for future schedule at Two Dog Studio

Planet gongs are delicately played, deeply bathing every cell of the body in pure, penetrating sound waves, cleansing the subconscious and awakening the practitioner to a transcendent state of awareness. The experience is effortless and the results profound.

Wisdom Unfolding: Clarifying View and Practice of Tantrik Yoga with Christopher Hareesh Wallis

July 19-21 | $150 for full 3-day workshop | Register
Two Dog is pleased to welcome Christopher Hareesh Wallis, a scholar-practioner with thirty years of experience.

• Friday, 7/19 | 7-9pm | $45 | Register
  Near Enemies to the Truth: What are ‘near enemies to the truth’?  They are slightly distorted versions of spiritual teachings—statements that are close to a profound and subtle truth, but are distorted just enough to make a big difference over time, such as “you create your own reality,” or “everything happens for a reason.”  In this workshop, we will go deep into the teachings that have become distorted into cliches and bumper-sticker slogans.
• Saturday, 7/20 | 2-5pm | $65 | Register
  A Wellspring of Power: The Practice of Yoga in the Tantric Mode: Empower your practice of Yoga by exploring what practice in a Tantric mode means, and why it accelerates the effectiveness of yoga on all levels.
• Sunday, 7/21 | 2-5pm | $65 | Register
  Why Chakras, Nādīs and Bindus Matter in your Practice: This workshop will seek to set the record straight, explaining clearly the traditional teachings on the yogic subtle body, also known as the energy body. A Tantrik scholar is the ideal person to teach on this topic, since the systemization of the subtle body and the mapping of the chakras originated within Tantrik Yoga.
