Yin Yoga & Sound Healing - an immersive experience - €30

Enjoy a peaceful coming back to calm and stillness before your weekend ends with a fusion of Yin Yoga and a sound bath in the warm, cosy yoga studio at the Riverside, in Skibbereen. Michelle Hegarty will guide you as you drop into some nourishing Yin yoga while Elidia Calvo is soothing you with a calming sound bath.

The combination of Yin yoga in sync with therapeutic sounds offer many benefits. As the run up to the holiday can be very busy, take a little time for yourself to find your inner calm and stillness, so you can root & ground yourself over the holiday period. If you are craving better sleep quality, energy & vitality, less stress & anxiety, improved mental clarity, emotional & hormonal balance, maybe this is what you’ve been looking for. Yin yoga is a key to unlock and release stresses held deep in the body, adding the sound while in the poses, creates a resonance in the body to ease that deep release in the tissues, joints & fascia.

Yin is a very slow meditative form of yoga geared towards unwinding and relaxing the whole body. We move into a position and stay there for a period of time, allowing our bodies and mind to sink & settle, clearing mental, physical and emotional blockages in the body, which allows us to purify & release deeply. Practicing Yin yoga allows us to marinade in the moment and reach that inner calm and stillness accessible through a Yin practice. Yin complements the yang of yoga and the yang of everyday life, bringing us back into balance gently and harmoniously.

With the use of specific frequencies and instruments including the Himalayan bowls, crystal bowls and chimes we will help to balance and harmonize the body, mind and spirit while being guided in the practice of Yin yoga. This creates a cocooning atmosphere to promote deep rest and allow the body to sink more and more in the benefits of the session.

Allow yourself this little escape at the end of the weekend, to find your inner calm, leaving you refreshed and relaxed to handle anything the week throws at you.
