RECOMMENDED BY: Alli Atkenson, Yoga Instructor "As first timers, Babita gently guided us through the meditation with calm instruction to close our eyes and relax. As soon as she struck the first bowl, I knew we were in for a treat. Each bowl resounded with resonance that penetrated deep into our chakras - like a massage for our brain and nervous system."
