Our Teachers
Joshua Maurer
RYT200, Sound Meditation Facilitator
Joshua's sound meditations include conversations around sound, spirituality, and consciousness, followed by a soundscape consisting of instruments such as gong, singing bowls, chimes, and other overtone emitting instruments. We then finish in a unified space for sharing our experiences. Through judicious listening, we create a supportive space for rejuvenation, deep relaxation, quieting the mind, self inquiry, bringing awareness to the inner processes of the mind, connecting with our higher self, and promoting self-observation, self-worth, and so much more!
"To listen is to lean in softly with the willingness to be changed by what you hear." - Mark Nepo
Over the past 5 years, Joshua has studied and worked with NYC's Woom Center, world-renowned sound researcher and ethnomusicologist, Alexandre Tennous, and other facilitators, professors, and doctors from around the globe studying the effects sound has on the brain and body. He also completed his RYT 200 under Kristen Boccumini in 2016 and continued to teach at Yoga Lab that following year. You may also find Joshua cooking for communities, drinking cacao, playing guitar, and smiling for no reason whatsoever.
