Sound Healing is a gentle yet powerful method to help you reconnect with your own innate high-level vibration. The vibration of the tuning forks and Tibetan bowls helps to recalibrate and free blocked energy, balance the right and left brain, and harmonize the chakras. This resonance supports the recalibration of our energy system, allowing creativity and peace to flow.

Satyayuga is an Aurovilian who has been practicing Yoga and Sound Healing Therapy for several years. With 10 years of experience in Tibetan bowls, gongs, and sound therapy, he has self-taught through books, videos, and cymatics courses. He has facilitated group sessions for over a year and holds certifications in Ayurvedic and Reiki Level 2 massage. His practice incorporates marmas and nadis, and he continually refines his skills, using keen auditory sensitivity to ensure precision in his sound healing work.
