Leap Yoga Meetup

### Inner Alchemy Sound Bath: The Art of Letting Go.

Date: Friday October 2, 6:30-7:45pm

Venue: Leap Yoga • Folsom
Investment: $35

As the season begins to shift, nature reminds us that release is part of the rhythm.

The Art of Letting Go is an invitation to soften your grip, clear what feels heavy, and create space for what comes next. This grounding autumn experience offers space to slow down, turn inward, and allow the nervous system to settle into deep rest.

Melissa will begin with a guided meditation to help you arrive fully, connect with your body, and set an intention for the evening. From there, you’ll be immersed in the soothing vibrations of gongs, crystal singing bowls, Himalayan singing bowls, chimes, and other therapeutic instruments, creating layers of sound designed to support relaxation, stillness, and restoration.

No need to fix, force, or figure anything out. Simply arrive, get comfortable, and receive.

# The Restorative Experience

### Kaiut + Yin Intensive with Michéal, Molly & Cindi

Saturday October 17, 12:00–3:00pm

Community Mixer & Refreshments to Follow

Give yourself an afternoon to move, learn, restore, and reconnect with your body.

Join Molly, Michéal, and Cindi for a special three-hour experience that goes beyond a regular class, combining the therapeutic benefits of Kaiut Yoga and Yin Yoga with hands-on assists, personalized guidance, and individual attention throughout the practice.

With three experienced teachers and intentionally limited enrollment, we'll have the time to work more closely with each student. During the Kaiut practice, you'll receive individual guidance and hands-on assists to help you recognize patterns and areas of restriction, fine-tune familiar poses, and discover how subtle changes can make a meaningful difference in your body and your practice.

We'll then transition into Yin, a natural complement to the Kaiut work. Longer, quieter holds invite you to soften, release tension, settle the nervous system, and give your body time to absorb and integrate the work you've done.

Think of it as an afternoon of self-care with purpose—time to give your body the gift of two restorative practices while receiving the personal attention and guidance to better understand your own body and support your movement, mobility, and overall well-being.

You'll leave feeling restored, refreshed, and more connected to your body and your practice, with insights you can carry into your regular classes.

Afterward, stay for refreshments —a relaxed opportunity to connect with your teachers and fellow students and enjoy some time together outside of class.

### Roots and Resonance

An African Kora & Sound Healing Journey

Cost: $35

When: Sunday October 18th, 6:30-8pm

“The wild does not ask you to become someone new. It simply reminds you of who you’ve always been.”

We are delighted to invite you to Roots & Resonance—an immersive evening of guided meditation, African kora, and sound healing.

Together, we will begin with a grounding meditation inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of Africa. Through breath, visualization, and gentle awareness, you’ll journey across golden savannahs, beneath ancient acacia trees, through lush emerald forests alive with birdsong, beside flowing rivers, and into the quiet presence of the wild. As the sounds awaken your imagination, you’ll be guided inward to reconnect with your highest self—the part of you that is always whole, wise, and deeply at peace.

From this deeply relaxed space, you will be carried into a restorative sound journey where the soothing melodies of the kora—a beautiful 21-string West African harp from Senegal—intertwine with crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, chimes, drums, and ethereal vocals. Together, these ancient and modern healing instruments create a rich tapestry of sound that invites deep rest, emotional release, and inner renewal.

Throughout the experience, you’ll simply be invited to receive. Allow the vibrations to wash over you, soften the nervous system, quiet the mind, and open the heart. Like echoes carried across sweeping plains and whispered through ancient forests, each note becomes an invitation to remember your own inner stillness, resilience, and connection to the living world.

About the Facilitators

Madi Rane is a certified sound healer and globally trained opera vocalist who weaves together crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, chimes, drums, Sanskrit chanting, and celestial vocals to create deeply immersive healing experiences.

Joining her is Boynarr, a gifted kora player from Senegal. The kora is a traditional 21-string West African harp whose timeless melodies have been shared for centuries to tell stories, preserve history, and inspire connection. His soulful playing brings an authentic and grounding presence to this one-of-a-kind collaboration.

Many of the instruments used are tuned to frequencies found in nature, supporting deep relaxation and inviting the body and mind into a state of harmony. Just as all of existence is vibration, sound can become a gentle pathway back to balance, presence, and inner peace.
