❤️Solfeggio Frequencies

Solfeggio Frequencies make up an ancient 6 tone scale used in sacred music including the beautiful and well known Georgian chants. Each solfeggio tone is comprised of a frequency required to balance your energy and keep your mind, body and spirit in harmony.


❤️TIBETAN SINGING BOWL HEALING SOUND

Tibetan Singing Bowls have been used for centuries as a powerful tool for healing and meditation purposes. They create a range of sounds to restore the normal vibratory frequencies of diseased and out-of-harmony parts of the body, mind and soul. Sound has been lauded as the healing of the future- as its enormous potential to bring peace and wellbeing is being widely studied and verified scientifically. Kate has a range of beautiful high vibration Buddha Bowls including the huge handcrafted 7 mental “Queen Victoria Kali Gunapatiye” removers of obstacles.

A University of California study to examine the potential effects of a singing bowl meditation reported a significant difference was found in all end points of the study showing-

✅Better mood
✅Less tension
✅Decrease in Anger
✅Relief from depression
✅Less anxiety
✅Less physical pain
✅Improved spiritual well-being

❤️MOONCYCLE ALCHEMY

The Cycles of the Moon too have long been recognised as auspicious times and celebrated in Yogic, Buddhist, farming and gardening traditions. "As above, so below". Like the tides and oceans you may too feel the power of the gravitational pull of the moon?

While each Moon has its own character and speaks differently to each of us, the Full moon is a time of heightened energy, action and emotions. The energy of a Full Moon (3 days before and 3 days after peak) are an opportune time to refine, formulate and formally state and charge heartfelt intentions with power. We're always setting intentions and this is a way to approach this in a conscious way. There is power in coming up with visions for our life, and keeping them in our sights as they come into being.

The Full Moon can heighten emotions, both good or bad, and can potentially make you or others more sensitive as well. To cultivate peace and equanimity within this energy allows us to take the lessons and the gifts and walk with more power to the best version of ourselves and our lives.

❤️ About Sarah Beale
Sarah is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga teacher, teaching Ashtanga, Yin and Vinyasa styles of yoga. She has also begun teaching Pregnancy yoga after training with Dr Pooja Maddela in Auckland.
Sarah first discovered yoga with the Bikram hot method of yoga when she was 18, starting the practice mainly for the physical benefits it offered. Much later along the path she discovered Ashtanga yoga which was just as dynamic but was more of an internally heating practice & moving meditation. She began to fall in love with this yoga for the spiritual journey & its therapeutic benefits. She has practiced Ashtanga for the last 6 years, started teaching in 2014 and trained with Gregor Maehle & Monica Gauci from 8 Limbs Yoga.
Sarah also practices other forms of yoga such as Yin and Vinyasa, finding treasures in each method, and intuitively teaches based on the experience she has felt within herself. Sarah is dedicated to self-inquiry and personal/spiritual growth, always learning something new which she loves to share. She teaches with compassion, warmth and humour, adapting each class, no matter what the style, to the students who are present in the room.
Sarah is passionate about Ayurveda, Herbal remedies, Aromatherapy and anything which assists the body to heal itself
Sarah and her partner Alex moved from Auckland to Napier in January 2017 to pursue a more relaxed way to live. The opportunity to practice with her teacher, Peter Sanson was one of the big draw-cards for Sarah to move to Napier. Sarah continues to teach various styles of yoga at different locations in Napier on occasion. They now have a newborn baby boy and raise him here at the Wellness Sanctuary which is also their home.
She loves pouring her creative energy into, and holding space for the community at the Sanctuary. As well as teaching many of the yoga classes at the Wellness Sanctuary, Sarah organizes workshops & events, facilitating Ecstatic Dance and offering Reiki treatments.
