Rest & Restore: A Yin Yoga & Sound Healing Experience

Join us for a deeply relaxing 2-hour journey into stillness, balance, renewal, and connection.

This collaborative experience combines 60 minutes of gentle grounding Yin Yoga with the soothing vibrations of a chakra-balancing sound bath woven throughout, followed by 30 minutes of uninterrupted sound healing, and community connection.

You'll be guided through long-held, restorative postures designed to release tension and invite ease into your body. As you soften into stillness, the calming tones of crystal bowls, chimes, and other healing instruments will wash over you—realigning your energy and inviting deep rest.

After class, stay for light bites and heartfelt community connection.

We’ll provide: yoga mats, bolsters, blankets, and supportive ambiance. Feel free to bring any personal props for extra comfort.

Spaces limited.

Cost: $52 per person

Join Shauna Gutierrez and Selena Jachens for an afternoon of relaxation and exploration! Indulge in a sound bath, led by Selena, and invite new pictures of your soul’s experience to come into view through a guided experience led by QHHT practitioner Shauna Gutierrez. Shauna will use Delores Cannon’s group hypnosis technique to enhance your awareness of the part of you that is all-knowing, and guide through three unique experiences:

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟏: 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧
𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟐: 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥
𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟑: 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐚 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞

This form of hypnosis is conducted in a light level of trance (alpha state) and can be compared to a guided meditation. After each exploration, you will enjoy sound healing by Selena as you journal and reflect on your experiences, further traversing the pictures brought forward during your guided journey. After writing about your experience, you will have the opportunity to share with the group or sit in quiet reflection.

QHHT, or Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique, is an empowering method that utilizes the theta state of hypnosis to facilitate past-life regression and connect with the Subconscious or Higher Self. This process enables individuals to uncover the roots of their challenges, gain valuable insights, and experience transformative healing.

If you’re curious about QHHT, the group past life regression is a great place to start! For those seeking a deeper state of exploration through an individual QHHT session, please contact Shauna for more information!

This restorative yoga class offers a deeply relaxing and nurturing experience, combining gentle poses, sound healing, candlelight, & a loving-kindness meditation to promote relaxation, healing, and emotional well-being.

Throughout the session, you'll be guided through restorative poses that help release tension and restore balance to the body, while remaining supported by props to ensure comfort and ease.

During the practice, a soothing sound bath will fill the space, using instruments like crystal singing bowls, chimes, and gongs to create harmonic frequencies that foster deep relaxation and inner calm. The healing vibrations of the sound will enhance the restorative yoga experience, promoting a sense of connection between the body and mind.

The class will also include a brief educational segment about the mental health benefits of restorative yoga, sound healing & loving-kindness meditation. You'll learn how restorative yoga can lower stress, enhance mental clarity, and support emotional resilience. The sound bath will be explained in terms of how certain frequencies can reduce anxiety and promote emotional balance, while the loving-kindness meditation will offer tools for cultivating compassion, both for yourself and others, enhancing your emotional well-being.

The session will culminate in a loving-kindness meditation, inviting you to send thoughts of compassion and love to yourself and others, fostering a deep sense of connection and peace. You'll leave feeling deeply relaxed, with a greater sense of inner peace and emotional balance, equipped with practical tools for nurturing your mental and emotional health.

A new year presents an opportunity to pause, to reflect, and recenter your Self and what is important to you.

We grow through transitions, so instead of resolutions, what can you add?

What will bring your life into balance and peace?

What things are you okay without?

Take a moment to exist, to simply be behind your eyelids. Notice what comes.

Join Selena from Nadi in the Salt Studio inside of Fit & Fierce 515 for a transformative sound bath experience to ignite curiosity and peace as we lean into the new year. Rebalance your Chakras and mindset through the healing waves of singing bowls, gongs, and earth elements.

I am thrilled to partner with Jen from Sivid for another amazing experience!

We’ll begin with a transformative sound bath healing session. Immerse yourself in the soothing vibrations of sound, as I guide you along a journey of relaxation and inner harmony. Allow the resonance of the sound bath to wash away stress, promote deep healing, and restore your energy.

In addition to the healing sound bath, Jen will have a delectable veg-forward meal prepared just for you. Indulge in the flavors of our Korean jackfruit tacos, a tantalizing fusion of savory jackfruit, spices, and Korean-inspired toppings. Experience the rich umami flavors in every bite, as you savor the perfect balance of textures and tastes.

For those seeking comfort and nourishment, our mushroom congee is a must-try. This hearty and aromatic rice porridge is infused with earthy mushrooms, creating a warm and comforting dish that will leave you feeling satisfied and content. To complement the meal, we have a refreshing cucumber salad that adds a crisp and cooling element to the culinary experience. The combination of fresh cucumbers, tangy dressing, and aromatic herbs creates a vibrant salad that will invigorate your senses.

Prepare yourself for a delightful afternoon of sound healing and plant-forward culinary delights!

Friends, this year has been a wild ride. With wild rides comes awkward energies and odd feelings. I've taken extra precaution of where I offer myself lately, trying to preserve as much energy as possible. Constant clearing and resetting, moving through stagnation and allowing room for liberation and expansion.

I am holding space on Sunday, 9/17 for a Reiki Charging Sound Bath aimed to clear, reset and charge you and any tools you use in your life. Bring your crystals and grids, tarot and oracle cards, Malas, tuning forks, keepsakes, jewelry and anything else you use to receive Reiki and recharge your intentions and items.

This two-hour event will have limited spots to ensure a safe and pleasant atmosphere for energies to be created and strengthened. Props will be provided, including bolsters and blankets, but feel free to bring your own nesting materials to get comfy!

𝓢𝓶𝓾𝓭𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓒𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓷𝔂

Begin with a sage cleansing ritual of the body and items, clearing stagnant energies and reset items to their natural energy

𝓐𝓵𝓽𝓪𝓻 𝓞𝓯𝓯𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰

Place any or all of your items at the Altar to soak up additional charges and Light.

𝓘𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓜𝓮𝓭𝓲𝓽𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷

Declare a charging and/or cleansing intention for yourself and items. This intention will be weaved into a guided meditation to hold space for Source and energies to arrive.

𝓢𝓪𝓬𝓻𝓮𝓭 𝓢𝓸𝓾𝓷𝓭 𝓢𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓲𝓸𝓷

Be bathed in smooth, gentle sound waves with your intention in place. The sound bath is just as much for you as it is for your items.

Stay after to enjoy the harmonious energy fields or to receive additional clearing/charging for your specific items.

If you have any questions about what to bring or expect, DM me and we will explore.

Join me at Inner Space for two incredibly relaxing practices.

Internal Balance | Yin Yoga 3:30pm - 4:30pm

Yin Yoga is a gently practice that allows the fascia throughout our entire body to rejuvenate. Poses are mostly done on the ground and held for several minutes to let the body settle into stillness and experience the release of built up energy. Props are used to make the poses extra comfortable.

Divine Resonance | Sound Bath 5:30pm - 6:30pm

Sound baths are like an adult nap! Lie back and allow yourself to dream. Many instruments will be played harmoniously and fluidly in order to open your Chakras and Nadis. Enjoy a blissful sound bath that allows your body to become connected and balanced, your mind the opportunity to explore, and your soul a chance to experience something ethereal.

For some, a sound bath releases toxins held within the body; physically or emotionally, these toxins take a toll. Many experience a huge shift in their energy or being. Some often levitate out of their vessel, or become completely in-tune with the divine.

Bring a journal, too! It can be amazing to see how you’re feeling before and after a sound bath. Jot down any thoughts and see how it transforms!

Divine Resonance | Sound Bath

Join Selena this month for TWO incredible sound baths. These events will be held at Inner Space in downtown Des Moines.

• Friday, August 6th 5:30pm

• Sunday, August 29th 1:30pm

If you’re new to sound healing, you’re in for a treat!

A sound bath is an immersive experience of sound, connection and serenity. It gives you an opportunity to explore your mind. Notice where it takes you. What calls to you. Get lost in your own essence in a safe environment. You may feel sensations, emotions, something ethereal. Maybe you just feel relaxed. Take this time to honor your body, mind and spirit.

Lie back in your favorite Savasana and rest as you’re “bathed” in beautiful melodies and vibrations that allow your body and mind to relax, reduce anxiety and stress, invigorate your spirit and increase circulation as the body is 75% water which allows the vibrations to travel fluidly and reach all areas. This is a full-body experience and creates a very meditative environment, encouraging our bodies and minds to be aware and allow energy shifts. Often, the instruments used are tuned to specific parts of the body, such as the Chakras. This adds additional intention in the practice and cleanses or opens the pathways within, allowing a more complete experience. Some instruments include various singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, bells, chimes, drums and pyramids. Each has their own sound or frequency, allowing the healer to carefully curate the perfect session to your specific needs.

Journey, explore, experience. 💫
