Release and Rest

Holosomatic Body Therapy combines conscious connected breathwork, movement therapy, body mapping, bodywork, and energy healing. These powerful healing modalities will take you on your own personal healing journey. You will learn how to truly embody your body, reveal and release stuck energy and blockages.

Yoga Nidra is a full-body guided meditation practice that provides an opportunity for your mind and body to deeply rest and rejuvenate. Yoga nidra can help reduce burnout, alleviate depression, help process difficult emotions and accelerate healing of mind and body, deepen your connection to your intuition, creative power and psychic abilities.

The first week is focused primarily on embodiment through deep meditation practices, gentle breathwork and journalling. We lay the foundations for our holosomatic body therapy practice - becoming really aware of how our bodies feel in this deeply relaxed state (when our parasympathetic nervous system is switched on). In week 2, we begin some gentle activations of the sympathetic nervous system, and in weeks 3 - 7, we move into deeper somatic activations. We will finish each session with a yoga nidra meditation.

Participants will also have access to the Morning Song online community space on The Portal, where extra resources will be provided, including recordings of our meditations and yoga nidra practices.
