Release and Surrender

A guided multi-sensory wellness experience at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach centers on releasing physical tension and emotional stress through breath, sound, and mindful presence.

Led by Michelle Alva, Release and Surrender offers a 90-minute journey designed to support nervous system regulation and embodied relaxation. The evening weaves together breath expansion training, mindfulness meditation and gentle somatic awareness practices to help participants let go of stored tension in areas such as the shoulders, jaw, lower back and abdomen. The experience is further supported by sound healing with crystal bowls, Native American flute and shamanic drumming, alongside the use of essential oils intended to deepen relaxation and sensory awareness.

Michelle Alva’s facilitation blends contemporary science with ancient wisdom traditions, integrating modalities such as energy healing, NLP, hypnosis, Tantra-informed practices, movement and meditation. Her work emphasizes self-trust, emotional integration and the cultivation of inner balance, offering participants tools to process stress and reconnect with a sense of clarity and ease.

The session concludes with access to The Standard Spa’s indoor baths, allowing time for quiet integration and rest following the experience.
