Full Moon Mindful Yoga with Soothing Sounds
2026-03-30 18:00 - 19:25 | Center for Health and Fitness Jade Room, 514 N. Prospect Ave., Redondo Beach, CA, 90277, United States
The fluctuating moon is like our fluctuating mind. Continuously cycling, growing, and changing. But, for a moment, each month, the fluctuating moon reaches a full circle. A time when, like the moon, our mind can rest in its own brightness, full, satisfied, peaceful, and luminous. The darkness and shadows that fill the night, and at times our mind, can be soothed and at peace at this time.
Join us for a gentle, restorative, mindful yoga class and soothing sounds session to connect with the abundant peace that resides within and around us.
We will move, stretch, breathe, be bathed in soothing vibrations of live instruments, and meditate together. For when we cultivate peace within, it emerges all around us. Indian teacher Prem Rawat says, “It is not the world that needs peace, it is people. When people in the world are at peace within, the world will be at peace.”
Let’s come together in a peaceful community under the healing light of the full moon.
Date: March 30
Time: 6 -7:25 p.m. (85-minute session)
Cost: $40 per person – Register in MindBody and pay at the CHF front desk
Location: Jade Room (capacity of 15)

Sound Bath with Sarah Kuruvilla
2026-04-03 12:30 - 13:25 | Center for Health & Fitness: Jade Room, 514 North Prospect Avenue, Redondo Beach, CA, 90277, United States
Let your body unwind and your mind settle during a deeply relaxing Sound Bath. This guided, meditative experience uses soothing tones—often from crystal singing bowls, chimes, and gentle percussion—to “bathe” you in layered sound. The vibrations encourage your nervous system to downshift, helping release tension, quiet busy thoughts, and promote a sense of spacious calm. No experience is required; you simply lie down or sit comfortably and listen.
What to expect:
After a brief grounding, Sarah will weave restorative soundscapes designed to support rest and reset. Many participants report feeling lighter, clearer, and more centered afterward.
Is this for me?
Sound Baths are generally gentle and accessible. If you have sound sensitivities, a history of seizures triggered by sound, or implanted medical devices, please consult your clinician first.
