relax deeply with Gentle Hatha Yoga

with just the sounds of nature you will be able to refine your spirit

At AmaTierra you can Get Into Practice and relax deeply into your body as you breathe and stretch with Gentle Hatha Yoga. Many interesting forms of yoga are being taught these days, and all have their merits, but the basic Hatha style taught at AmaTierra is the foundation for physical yoga practice and has stood the test of time —a few thousand years! With the addition of our new studio, we will be offering more varieties of classes very soon.

Jill’s method of teaching is closely aligned with one of her teachers, Jean-Pierre Marques from North Africa who was a pioneer in bringing Eastern traditions to the U.S. in 1971, and who later initiated the Spiritual Awareness Center at Canyon Ranch Spa in Tucson, Arizona.

Sound Therapy

Vibrational Sound Therapy, being offered at AmaTierra, is a type of energy medicine that helps to re-align the body's subtle energy field and stimulate healthier cell activity. There have been many studies on the power of vibrational sound healing; perhaps you are familiar with ultrasound therapy?

The special quartz crystal bowls used in sound therapy are tuned to the body's "chakras" or energy centers, and can help to push through stagnant or blocked energy channels in much the same way ultrasound therapy is used to ease pain and even to cleanse clogged arteries.

Reconect with your peaceful inner self

relax with the vibrational sound therapy

People find it to be a mesmerizing and sensual experience that leaves them feeling renewed and energized, more in harmony with the natural rhythm and flow of the earth's own energy field. This is, by the way, no accident, as the bowls are aligned with the same electromagnetic frequency of the earth and made to resonate with the natural world which our bodies, when in balance, hum along with. Join in a special "toning session" with the bowls or experience them as part of an energy balancing treatment at AmaTierra. Learn more about the benefits of sound therapy and healing.
