with Veda Spidle
Friday October 16th from 6-8pm
Saturday October 17th from 1:30-7pm
Sunday October 18th from 1-5:30pm
Discover the restorative and transformative potential of sacred sound in this immersive introductory training with certified Yoga Therapist and sound practitioner Veda Spidle.
Whether you’re simply curious about sound healing, looking to deepen your personal practice, or hoping to thoughtfully begin incorporating sound into your offerings, this course is designed to provide a strong foundation. No previous experience is required, and you do not need to be a yoga teacher to attend.
Throughout our three days together, you’ll explore the science behind sound healing, including brainwave states and the effects of sound on the brain, nervous system, physical body, and traditional energetic models found in yoga. You’ll also receive hands-on instruction with a variety of sound healing instruments, learning foundational playing techniques while developing confidence through guided practice.
With 12 hours together, we’ll have ample time to experience the instruments firsthand, ask questions, share observations, and learn in a supportive environment. The intention is not only to teach techniques, but to help you cultivate thoughtful listening, presence, and discernment as you begin your relationship with sound.
Yoga Alliance Registered Teachers are eligible to receive 12 Continuing Education hours upon completion of the immersion.
Please Note: This course is limited to 10 students.
In addition to the course tuition, a $200 refundable instrument deposit (cash or check payable to Surya Yoga) will be collected on the first day of the immersion. This deposit covers any potential damage to instruments while in your care and will be returned at the conclusion of the training, provided no issues have occurred.

Body Language
with Jenna Hedstrom
A private practice built entirely around you.
Your body has been communicating with you your entire life. The problem is, nobody ever told us that’s what it was doing
Body Language is a 60-minute private session where we use what’s happening in your body (and what you’re wanting to create in your life) to design a practice specifically for you.
Before your session, you’ll share what’s going on.
Maybe you’re navigating pain or tension in a particular part of your body. Maybe you’re overwhelmed, grieving, exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or moving through a major transition. Maybe there’s something you want more of in your life (confidence, freedom, creativity, connection, rest) and you want your practice to actively support you in getting there.
From there, your practice is created specifically for you.
That might mean traditional yoga designed specifically for what your body is working with. It might mean Kundalini Yoga kriyas and meditation chosen for what you’re moving through. It could be breathwork, sound, deep rest, or a combination of several things.
This is how we begin to learn the language of your body. It’s easy to think your body is working against you when it’s hurting, uncomfortable, exhausted, or simply not doing what you want it to do. But what if it’s actually been on your side the whole time?
Body Language gives you a place to discover that for yourself.
