Lengthen & Listen: A Pilates & Sound Bath Experience
You're invited to join Rockford Pilates Studio and Matty Sunshine Sound Healing for a special hybrid healing experience that will pair guided Pilates-style stretching with a soothing and restorative sound bath. The experience begins with approximately 15 minutes of guided Pilates-style floor stretching facilitated by Caylin Scott, Rockford Pilates Studio owner, followed by a relaxing, 60-minute sound bath facilitated by Matty Makowski, certified Sound Healing Practitioner, Reiki Master, and owner of Matty Sunshine Sound Healing. No prior Pilates experience is necessary.
A sound bath is a deeply immersive, full-body listening experience during which various instruments produce specific sounds, frequencies, and vibrations that can shift brainwaves into a relaxed state, allowing the nervous system to relax and release stuck/stagnant emotions, trauma, or energy. In this state, a person's natural healing abilities can work more effectively to bring them back into vibrational alignment across mind, body, and spirit. During this 60-minute sound bath, Matty plays instruments like crystal singing bowls, a gong named “Sunny”, Tingsha cymbals, and more that produce these sounds, frequencies, and vibrations that invite you into a deeper state of consciousness, serve as an opportunity to unplug from external stimuli, and promote self-inquiry/discovery. Post sound bath hydration will be provided by Bright Eyed.
