Step away from the noise of daily life and into a sanctuary of stillness. In this monthly evening reset, we’ll journey through gentle Breathwork to clear and calm the mind, slip into the deep rest of Yoga Nidra, and bathe in the healing vibrations of crystal singing bowls and other soothing instruments. This is your time to release, restore, and reconnect — a sacred pause to come home to yourself.

Quiet Hour: A Silent Crystal Tuning Fork Experience

Step into stillness and let the noise of the world soften. Quiet Hour is a deeply calming, mostly silent sound healing experience using crystal tuning forks to gently guide your nervous system into balance. This is not a traditional sound bath—it’s subtle, intentional, and profoundly grounding.

Held in a sanctuary of rest, you’ll be supported in restorative postures while crystal frequencies move quietly through the body, encouraging relaxation, energetic alignment, and inner peace. Perfect for those craving calm without overwhelm.

✨ Gentle
✨ Grounding
✨ Restorative

Come as you are. Leave feeling settled, centered, and deeply held.

✨New Moon Sound Bath & Intention Setting Ceremony

Join sound practitioner Michele Martone for a new moon sound bath & fire intention ceremony at Sanctuary Yoga and Meditation Studio in Toms River, NJ. The new moon is a great time to set intentions, initiate new projects, and harness the energetic potential of a fresh lunar cycle. Many people use this time for contemplation, goal-setting, and focusing on personal aspirations. Join us as we celebrate the new moon in community and sound. 

This sound bath is meant to take you on a meditative sound journey using quartz crystal singing bowls. These healing sounds help us to release stress, anxiety, emotional blockages, and tension we may be holding within our energetic and physical bodies through their vibrational frequencies. You will leave restored with a deep sense of peace and relaxation. * No prior meditation experience necessary.
Here are a few things you can bring to make you more comfortable for this experience, (there are some extra mats, blankets, cushions, and bolsters available to borrow from the studio as well):
1. A yoga mat.
2. A blanket and pillow.
3. Water
4. An eye mask, (optional), if you want to block out all light.
5. Any crystals or relics to charge and meditate with.
6. Dress comfortably so you can fully relax!

There are 3 spots left for this Saturday evening’s Winter Solstice workshop with Amie Gentile:

As the longest night of the year arrives, we gather to honor the stillness, the shadows, and the sacred renewal that winter brings. In this hands-on, heart-centered circle, we’ll create our own Botanical Sugar Scrubs — earthy blends infused with herbs, oils, and intention — to symbolize cleansing and rebirth.

As our creations infuse, we’ll explore what it means to be “in the dark”: those quiet, unseen phases of transformation where our light is quietly growing within. Through group reflection, sharing, and intuitive Spirit Readings, we’ll invite clarity, healing, and guidance for the season ahead.

Experience Includes:
🌿 Crafting your personalized Botanical Sugar Scrub
🫙 Please bring your own jar
💧 Bring any of your favorite essential oils — Amie will have some for everyone to share!
🕯 Guided reflection on the wisdom of darkness and the return of light
🔮 Intuitive group Spirit Readings
💫 Gentle sound healing tones to close and seal the energy

Transformation through stillness — letting the dark nurture your next becoming.

Opening to the Six Directions 🌏✨

This Qigong practice gathers energy into the three Dantian, the body’s major energy centers:

• Lower Dantian at the belly
Your home base for strength, stamina, feeling rooted in your life

• Middle Dantian at the heart
Where emotion softens, connection expands, and breath meets feeling

• Upper Dantian at the forehead
A clear space for insight, intuition, and inner vision

Movement becomes a quiet conversation with your own energy.

Breath organizes the whole system.

Visualization draws in energy and deepens the practice.

Before each class, I take a few moments to clear and bless the space — lighting a candle, burning sage, palo santo, and incense, and sending Reiki through the room. ✨
Every gesture is an offering of love and intention, creating an atmosphere of peace, clarity, and healing for all who enter.
This is part of what we do as yoga teachers — not just to prepare the room, but to prepare the energy, so you feel held, grounded, and welcomed the moment you arrive. 🕯️🌿💫
