Full Moon Yoga Nidra

This event is the perfect way to honour the energies of the full moon, a surrender and letting go through the beautiful practice of Yoga Nidra. Fran will begin with a introduction to the energies of this February Full Moon followed by some gentle breathing and movement to land and arrive before guiding you through a beautiful Sankalpa (Intention Setting) Yoga Nidra which will help guide you to hear the whispers of your heart. This is a potent time in the months cycle to help let go of anything that isn't serving you and the practice of Yoga Nidra really helps to bring about these shifts that you are wanting to make with the energy of the full moon. There will be time for journaling and time to receive messages from oracle cards.

Gong Yoga Nidra

This special Saturday afternoon session will begin with some physical movement and breathwork to energise and balance the body ready for our deeply relaxing guided meditation of yoga nidra and gong baths. Yoga nidra ‘yogic sleep’ is a healing, restorative form of guided meditation systematically working through the ‘5 levels of existence’ – physical body, energy body, emotional body, knowledge body and bliss body. The combined playing of the gong carries these vibrations deep into the bodies creating a beautiful balance of focused spoken word and infinite sound and silence. The nidra extends into a bath of pure sound, with the magical tones of three gongs and other sacred instruments. We soak in the silence after the sound, before a gentle closing mediation to bring you to new point of stillness and readiness for the world outside.

Gong baths are not recommended during pregnancy, or for people with extreme tinnitus, sound-induced epilepsy, severe mental health issues, for those with a pace-maker or metal implants from recent surgery. Please contact us in advance if you have any queries, and always consult your GP or other health professional for medical advice.

Intro To Ayurveda & Yoga Workshop

Looking for a new way to bring your body and mind back into balance and health in 2024?

Join Ro for this workshop and intro to the magical world of Ayurveda.

Ayurveda - The Science of Life.
Veda means ‘knowledge’. Ayur means ‘life’. Ayurveda’s approach is initially preventative rather than curative. It shows a person how to live in harmony with one’s own nature, as well as the natural cycles of the day, the seasons and life. As the science of Ayurveda and Yoga sprang from the same fountain, they compliment each other.

During the workshop you will learn what Ayurveda is, you will take a self-assessment "Prakriti" questionnaire to find out and understand what your dominant dosha is and how it will help you to know what practices work best for you.

We will then move into our practice, which will include meditation, breath work, a vinyasa flow practice to regulate our doshas and a long relaxation to end. There will be time before we leave for any questions and tips on how to create your ideal practice. 

The workshop will include: 
+ Welcome herbal tea 
+ Intro to Ayurveda and self-assessment "Prakriti" questionnaire
+ Meditation and pranayama techniques
+ Vinyasa flow yoga practice 
+ How to design your ideal practice, plus final Q&A

Lean into 2024 with the ability and knowledge of what to do in order to bring yourself back to your own unique equilibrium. 

What to bring: notebook and pen

CLIENT FEEDBACK

“…I really enjoyed the session…I feel so much more centred and grounded since…”

“Great session. Feel a sense of lightness and empowerment combined”

“The session was brilliant. Will definitely come again - felt it has helped with me with my problems”

Join Ella for a relaxing evening of yin yoga, followed by a deeply restorative yoga nidra and a gentle bathing of calming sound & healing frequencies. The session is aimed at balancing out busy & stressful lives, cultivating a sense of calm and deep relaxation. Working with emotion-releasing and grounding yin postures and sound frequencies to support and end your practice.

Yin postures are held between 2 - 7 minutes, working deeply into the tissues of your body. Rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, using the extended length of time in each pose to release blockages in our meridians (energy lines throughout the body) and explore the challenge of physical & mental stillness in each pose.

Yoga Nidra is a practice that gets you into a deep state of conscious relaxation and rest. Brain activity lowers and the body enters a healing state, just 20 minutes of yoga nidra can be equivalent to hours of deep sleep. It’s a great practice for those who suffer from bad sleep, anxiety & burnout.

The session will end with a mini sound bath, taking the body and mind on a journey of healing & grounding frequencies.

The ultimate relaxation & restorative gift to yourself!
