Restorative Yoga, Sound Bath & Iced Tea Circle

A deeply restful experience of supported, mostly supine poses paired with gentle sound vibrations to calm the nervous system and quiet the mind — inviting you to simply be, exactly as you are.

Join Singing Bowls of the Rockies, restorative yoga instructor Valeria Mendoza, and Dr. Gigi Turner, PsyD, for an evening designed to help the body soften, the mind slow down, and the nervous system fully unwind.

This class is an invitation to step out of the mindset of self-improvement and into simple presence. The experience offers space to rest exactly as you are — without pressure to change, perform, or achieve.

Restorative yoga uses fully supported, mostly supine postures held for several minutes at a time to allow the body to release tension and the nervous system to shift out of stress mode. With minimal movement and no strain, the practice encourages deep physical and mental unwinding.

As the body settles, a gentle sound bath is layered in using resonant tones and vibrations. These frequencies can help guide the brain into slower, more relaxed states, while the subtle vibrations are often felt throughout the body — supporting a sense of grounding, calm, and internal spaciousness.

Together, the restorative yoga and sound bath create an environment where nothing is required of you. No fixing — just rest, awareness, and the opportunity to reconnect with yourself in a quieter way.

After the experience, guests are invited to stay for a peaceful iced tea circle with herbal iced teas and gentle conversation.

Valeria Mendoza is a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200), certified in May 2025. Shortly after completing her training, she began offering donation-based restorative yoga classes through Think Positive Club, a nonprofit focused on mindset, community, and holistic well-being. Her teachings emphasize nervous system regulation, breath awareness, and deep rest, guiding students into a grounded and restorative experience that supports both physical and emotional balance.

When she’s not teaching, Valeria is usually doing something that keeps life interesting — playing pool in local leagues, getting outside for fresh air and a mental reset, or continuing to deepen her studies of yoga, healing, and self-awareness.

Dr. Gigi Turner, PsyD, is the founder of Singing Bowls of the Rockies, former psychology professor and psychotherapist, and a certified sound bath practitioner. Since 2015, she has guided thousands of participants through immersive sound bath experiences designed to support deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, emotional grounding, and inner stillness.

Using one of the largest collections of singing bowls in Colorado Springs alongside gongs, flutes, chimes, and other meditative instruments, Gigi blends psychology-informed approaches with sound and vibration to create calming and restorative experiences that help guests reconnect with themselves in a quieter, more present way.

No experience is needed. All levels are welcome.
