What is "Nada Yoga" and "singing bowls" ?
The word "Nada" comes from the ancient Sanskrit language, and describes waves of sound. Yoga is another Sanskrit word to describe a union, or merging with higher consciousness - so Nada Yoga is the practice of higher consciousness through the medium of sound-waves. Singing bowls - whether crystal or metallic - are the tools of sound yoga, and have their history in ancient India around the mountain communities of the Himalayas. Singing bowls and sound-baths have become very popular as a method of modern, group meditations. Sound yoga can reduce stress and bring participants to a meditative state quickly and effortlessly; However, the correct application of singing bowls is necessary for best results. For this reason, Stefanosis has created this unique course.
