We're excited to announce our 2022/2023 chanting dates! We'll rotate between VENUE (on Wednesday nights) and Fairbanks Yoga (on Sunday nights) so that you now have TWO chances a month so join us with your voice and your presence.
These gatherings are meant to be a place where we can come together to share our voices and build connection both with each other and ourselves through sound and vibrations. You are welcome to observe in silence, sing loudly, stand, sit, cry, dance, play an instrument, and ultimately partake in the experience in any way that feels authentic to you. Jessica Christenson and/or Jacie Sturm will lead the group, beginning with a breakdown what to expect for those new to the experience. You’ll be provided with a list of different chants and a brief explanation of their purpose and/or meaning. You can expect these two to accompany their voices with instruments including the harmonium, guitar, banjo, and drums throughout the event. It does not matter if you sing well or are completely out of tune as these events are based on vibration and community, so the more voices the more powerful the experience. Instruments (especially percussion instruments) are welcome and encouraged to amplify the power of our voices, so feel free to bring any noise makers that speak to you. There are some cushions available at the studio, but if you have something comfortable to sit on, please bring it with you, as props are limited (especially at the VENUE gatherings) If you have any questions and/or you’d like to be added to the mailing list with more info on future chanting events, please email fairbankschanting@gmail.com |

Yoga Nidra (or Yogic Sleep) is a unique state of consciousness where you experience both alert awareness and deep relaxation. It is a powerful tool for stress relief, anxiety reduction, healing, and transformation that is both a simple and profound practice, open to all.
Class begins by allowing students to come into a comfortable, supported, resting posture (lying down or seated). Then using a combination of physical relaxation techniques, breath practices, and guided meditation, we create an internal environment that invites us to experience progressive relaxation and release of tension. Physiologically, Yoga Nidra takes the practitioner into alpha and theta brain wave activity. When we tap into this level of consciousness, we disengage from our image of self and allow the brain to rewire, releasing what no longer supports us After practice, students can often feel lighter, rested, and at peace. With a consistent practice, you may experience improved memory, increased creativity, decreased anxiety, maintained energy throughout the day, better sleep, and a deeper connection between body, mind and spirit. |
