Fiona Raymond

Kundalini Yoga Teacher & Reiki Master

Fiona has been teaching Kundalini Yoga for 21 years and a Gong Bath practitioner for 10 years. Fiona is also healer and Reiki Master and also runs detoxification programs. Music and mantra are an essential part of her classes are used as tools to channel Prana (life force energy) and change connections in the limbic centre or rhythm center of the brain, to free one from negative mind patterns.

Her philosophy is by understanding the self and learning emotional intelligence a person can free themselves to live a happy, healthy and fulfilled life. Gong meditation is a unique type of sound practice that involves using therapeutic gong sounds and vibrations to bring about healing. This practice is also sometimes referred to as a “gong bath” because participants are “bathed” in meditation gong sound waves. Sound healing as a treatment technique is based on the understanding that all forms of matter – including our body’s cells – vibrate at different frequencies. Factors such as stress, depression and disease cause cells and organs within our bodies to vibrate at non-optimal frequencies.
