Now, more than ever, we are coming to appreciate that Yoga is a practice of transformation, and within it’s vast array of practices is the use of sound, both audible and internal. This is known as Nada Yoga. Please join us at Feathered Pipe Ranch for this unique melding of the 8 limbs of Yoga with the power of sound and music in this very special retreat. One of Feathered Pipe’s beloved teachers Baxter Bell will be collaborating with the multi-talented musician and vocalist Mark Stanton Walsh to offer you an experience of movement and song that will support your own deepening transformation. And whether you are a music maker or a music lover, this week will have something for everyone.

Transform from Within

Baxter will lead the group in unique asana practices, some with live musical accompaniment by Mark, and many that will integrate yogic sound practices. Mark will offer truly special afternoon sessions that will facilitate opening and connection via sound frequency, voice, chant, mantra, and movement, working with the energy system of Chakras, as well as Sufi dance traditions. Special evening musical events will include a Chakra-focused concert and a good old campfire sing along.

For those attending who are musicians, please feel free to bring along your instruments, and music lovers, your enthusiasm!

Don't Forget!...Join Baxter at Blue Osa for Paradise with Purpose: A Costa Rica Adventure, January 21-28th, and take away the Winter Blues!
