Nicole & Katherine join together again Shake & Release Workshop.

About your Body:
In yoga, the hips are thought to be the baggage center for negative emotions. By releasing this area we may help to relieve lower back pain as well as free other tension filled areas of the body and mind- this may be intense for some people.
The psoas muscle, also referred to as your “fight or flight muscle” is responsible for stabilizing the body. This muscle, deep in the center of the body, attaches the lower lumbar vertebrae to the pelvis and legs -structurally connecting the upper and lower body. This is where most people unconsciously hold stress.

About the Workshop:
This workshop will start with a series of vigorous yoga postures aimed at warming up the psoas muscle. All levels of yoga practice are welcomed and modifications will be given if needed.

The second part of the practice, you will be lead on a journey of shaking out and releasing trapped energies from deep within these primal places while being bathed in the warm healing tones of the Tibetan Singing Bowls lead by Kathy Hamer.

All throughout the practice and during shavasana,(rest) the singing bowls will be placed on the body or at the head with the intention to heal, align, and gently move stuck energy out creating space within for deeper healing. The bowls will be filled with warm water infused with the magical, high vibration essential oil blend made especially for this workshop.

9/3/2018 UPDATE! This offering is currently on hold!

A couple weeks ago, I held an open house. It was so well received I am going to continue the practice to make the bowls available to people seeking a sanctuary from the daily stresses of life…or to just be. 

You are cordially invited to drop in to my studio every Friday between 9am and Noon!

I’m calling it Open House, Open Heart. Come in and meditate, sit with the bowls, learn how to play a bowl, shop bowls, have a cup of tea, talk to me….whatever you need… my door is open! Open your heart and take time to nurture your wellbeing. 

Open House, Open Heart will be available every Friday indefinitely, unless I have something else listed on the Events page. I will keep it in my schedule on the website and let you know if I can’t make a week.

The Singing Bowl Studio
at 293 Central Park West, between 89th & 90th

I’m thrilled to share this recorded meditation series from Wendy Parr, an award winning vocal artist, producer, songwriter, coach and more! She asked me to create a healing soundscape with the singing bowls to accompany her guided meditations for singers and performers. Anyone who is looking to present their work/healing/service to an audience can benefit from these meditations. 

I’ve facilitated sound healing concerts and accompanied many yoga classes with sound meditation using Tibetan singing bowls, but it was a new and exciting experience to go into a recording studio. I spent time with her recorded meditations weeks in advance, so when I went into the sound studio I could follow my guidance and synchronize with Wendy’s intentions in the meditation. And like a singing bowl healing, when the meditation focuses on the heart, I am playing the heart bowl, when the meditation speaks about the throat, I am playing the throat bowl. These recordings are truly healing and activating!

Please check out Wendy Parr, her variety of services and, of course, this meditation bundle:

This Complete Series includes all 5 of the Meditations designed for singers AND performers: 

• Free Your Voice: A meditation for authentic communication
• Daydream: A Meditation Dedicated to your purpose and passion
• Ready to Rock: A centering, grounding and empowering pre-show mediation

All Meditation feature an incredible healing soundscape of Tibetan Singing Bowls by Katherine Hamer.

Do you want your own recorded sound meditation or soundscape accompaniment? Drop me a line!

Kathy will be at Canyon Ranch, an All Inclusive Health Resort & Luxury Spa located in the Berkshires of Lenox, Massachusetts, on December 9th through December 10!

Now more than ever is an ideal time to take time for yourself and nurture your wellbeing – especially headed into the holiday season. This is a very special opportunity – sharing the bowls with people at Canyon Ranch. I hope you can join me!
