Sound-healing yoga is a unique and unparalleled experience that combines two beautiful meditative elements. Gather in the Crocker’s ballroom and be guided through a gentle, 45-minute yoga flow with Afro Yoga founder Angie Franklin while absorbing the vocals and healing reverberations of sound meditation instructor Niva Flor, Ph.D. This program is open to all experience levels. Yogis should bring their own mats, and participants who only want to enjoy the sound meditation are welcome. Space is limited, and advance registration is required. This program is made possible thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
