Sound Healing with Richie Parrella

Sunday, February 26, 2-4pm

Join us in welcoming Richie Parrella into the Ohana.  Based in Philadelphia, Richie Parrella is a Somatic Therapist, Certified yoga teacher, Reiki Master and sound healer.

Sound has been used for all time as a way to uplift and heal. Every chakra and even organ resonates at a certain frequency and when we play the different tones, it invites the energy centers to come back to balance and release any energy that is keeping it from working at its peak performance.

In this experience, Richie will utilize many different sources of sound to invite participants on a journey of self, leaving them more grounded, while invoking a deep sense of aliveness, through activations on all dimensions.

Richie will start out by leading through some gentle movements, opening the body up and moving through any tension held in the physical body.

From here Richie will lead participants through a yoga nidra (deep relaxation technique) leaving them in a deeply relaxed state where the body is naturally able to receive healing.

Following this participants will be taken on a journey of sound using anything from Shamanic drums and rattles, Sound bowls, to medicine songs of the world.

After the sound healing participants will have a tarot card set aside for them, and we will sit and integrate our experience together through sharing what arose during the experience.

Workshop Description:

In the first part of this workshop, you will gain an understanding of what components make up a functional posture and how imbalances in the body are created. You will then learn how to identify these imbalances in your own body. We will be focusing on recognizing the imbalances of the hips and learning how they can affect your body as a whole. In the second part, you will be taken through a few gentle, corrective exercises and stretches created to reintroduce functional movement into the body. These exercises and stretches will be paired with simple functional tests to help you feel and understand how your imbalances respond to the movements. Implementing them into your daily life will help you regain efficiency in your movements, reduce and/or prevent chronic pain, and lessen the chance of injury.

Bio:

Erica Susanto is a Postural Alignment Specialist and RYT. Both Postural Alignment Therapy and yoga helped Erica heal her own chronic pain and instill mindfulness into her daily life. Previously struggling with her own chronic pain for over a decade, she developed a passion for understanding and sharing the importance of functional movement. Through sharing, she has seen that daily functional movement can vastly change the quality of life for those in pain and become the most effective preventative practice for others. Ericabelieves everyone should have the tools to heal themselves, prevent pain, and achieve a more peaceful mind.
