Dear Friends,
I invite you to join me for a much needed day of self-care, deep relaxation, and full mind and body rejuvenation leading up to one of the most stressful times for many in the calendar year. This day will be the perfect antidote to Christmas stress overwhelm.
Winter is a time when nature calls us to rest, close in and hibernate as the nights draw in and we head towards the Winter Solstice. However, the month of December also brings with it the Christmas celebration, a time when the pressure is to drink, eat, spend, and socialise to excess and is often loaded with stress. Our natural circadian rhythms are disrupted, and this brings with it a negative impact on our mood, our behaviour, our energy and our health.
For a few hours of your month on December 13th, how about we press pause on it all?
This day of yoga will begin with a gentle practice combination of somatic awareness and easy slow flow vinyasa to warm the body.
After a short refreshment break, we will lie down and prepare to immerse ourselves completely in the healing vibrations of an hour long Sound Bath, by the most impressive and beautiful collection of resonating instruments. This session is lead and played by the hugely talented sound therapist Dave Tipper ofEarth Resonance.
As you lie, the vibrations wash all around, over and through you, enveloping you in sound, create a deeply unique relaxing experience, slowing brainwave activity into states similar to deep meditation, sometimes with vivid imagery and often a blissful emotional release.
After you will be offered a warming and hearty winter lunch, and you are most welcome to take yourself away or sit together to eat, no need to feel obliged to socialise.
In the afternoon there is more lying down and relaxing deeply to be done!
I will guide you through an hour an a half of Restorative yoga. This focuses on very passive slow releasing and restoring poses supported by pillows and blankets, holding these gentle poses for extended periods, allows the body to release deep tension completely and the mind to quieten. And finally we will finish with a long guided meditation, Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) bringing your mind into the state between waking and sleeping, away from any last remaining external distractions, and into a deep inner calm and peace.
There is no experience needed for this day, only a certain level of physical mobility, which we can discuss privately should you have any concerns.
The day can be taken as one full days experience, which I highly recommend, or, can be broken down into a morning or afternoon event, or the option of just attending the Sound Bath is also available.
