Yogis gather for the sound of bowls

Yogis from Miami Lakes and nearby areas rolled out their mats to enjoy a sound bath and mediation at the Mary Collins Community Center.

     The June 19 event included practitioners from the class held regularly at the center as well as others.   All meditated to the sound of singing bowls.

     The bowls are acoustic instruments that make different tones, which aid in meditating and relaxation.

     Practice was led by yoga teacher Nadine Prosper, who leads classes at the center and also owns Najini Healing Space.

     “The turnout was spectacular and those in attendance were thrilled to have this event take place,” Ernesto Soto, programs coordinator Town of Miami Lakes Parks and Recreation Department, wrote in an email.

     Yoga classes are available through the Town of Miami Lakes by visiting miamilakes-fl.gov.
