Introduction to the Art of Playing Singing Bowls

You've felt it before – that moment when a Tibetan bowl's hum resonates not just in your ears, but somewhere deep in your chest. In your bones. In places you didn't know were holding tension.

Now, imagine understanding how to create that sound yourself.

Join Claudio Escutia – musician, yoga instructor, and sound healing practitioner with over 15 years of experience – for a special, hands-on 6-hour introductory workshop at Yoga Corner, Lower Hutt.
