Wellness Beats

The goal of Wellness Beats is to move the participants physically as well as emotionally and spiritually. Brain health improves from the use of crossover patterning, right & left brain hemisphere work, and increasing the alpha wave amplitude. Increased alpha wave amplitude is shown to decrease stress and improve feelings of well-being. In Wellness Beats, participants feel empowered and strengthen the “connection” with themselves as well as with those around them—this is a time free of judgments and expectations.

Wellness Beats will use a slower, droning tempo of different music styles to accomplish a feeling of connectedness, as well as feeling empowered and peaceful.
