The Gong Lady
Yup! That's what it is...
Rose was dubbed "the Gong Lady" while she was offering the gong meditations to older adults of all ages, and abilities at Southbury Training School. It stuck, and she was honored to be a part of their amazing community and family. The gong meditation became a welcome addition to their activities and amazed staff with it's ability to relax and energize at the same time.

especially damage caused by stress and stimulants - Strengthens the parasympathetic nervous system

yogaKundalini Yoga was brought to the west by Yogi Bhajan in 1969. The ancient technology of yoga has many branches, Kundalini which means, "hair of the Lock of God", works on uniting mind, body and spirit through awareness and working with one's energy.
Kundalini Yoga is safe and very healing. We use mantra (sound vibration), mudra (hand positions), kriya (actions in specific sequences, positions, repetitions and times), eye focus and breathing to create a desired healing effect in the individual. As with most yogas, the experience is you experiencing You. You giving yourself the experience of union with your mind, body and soul.

artAt Love Art & Yoga, art can take on many forms.
We provide both technical and process classes. "What is the difference?", you may ask. Technical classes focus on the nuts and bolts of technique, like, "How do I create a 3D effect?", or "How do I mix colors?". Process classes like what we experience when we combine art and yoga, are intuitive interpretations of experience, thought or intention. Images come from an internal connection to yourself. Process classes can also exist independent of the yogic experience. We journal, use meditation as inspiration, quotes, experiences, anything to move our creative consciousness in directions we have never traveled before. We open up to new frontiers (cue "Star Trek theme song"). I'm serious. Our images, and that of our fellow practioners, often come into existence to teach us about our Selves, and that's really cool. |
