Sound Immersion Workshop

With Sara Fakih

Saturday 6th April 2024   3:00-4:00pm

£25 pp    BOOK NOW 

Embark on an inner journey through sound guided by Sara Fakih.

The session will start with some gentle guided movement, focusing on the breath and the spine.

You will then be guided to lay down with bolsters and blankets to be bathed in resonant vibrations, melodic tones & sounds of nature in an elemental sound journey.

Tibetan singing bowls release gentle ripples of sound, while chimes infuse the air with harmonious frequencies along with different elemental sounds that allow these auditory caresses to gently coax away the strains of modern life, allowing tension to dissipate and a deep sense of well-being to emerge.

The sound waves bathe your senses, inviting introspection and inviting your body’s natural healing mechanisms to flow.

As you surrender to the immersive auditory experience, the boundaries between stress and tranquillity blur, creating space for profound inner healing.

Allow yourself to be cradled in a tapestry of sound, embarking on a holistic journey of self-care and restoration whilst allowing your nervous system to drop into a deep state of rest and digest which is your para sympathetic nervous system.

Sound is a very underestimated healing tool. It was used in ancient times and through new scientific studies hospitals have started to implement sound frequencies to help people recover and heal through the use of sound. Benefits include slowing down our heart rate, reducing blood pressure and activating healing within the body.

£25 pp    BOOK NOW 

Experience the powerful modality of dance – Flow Dance Meditation is an un-choreographed, free-moving meditation practice, which encourages self-expression and discovery.

 

It allows you to explore and express how you feel through movement. You don’t have to learn any steps and there’s no pressure to perform, making it easier to relax, allowing the body and mind to get into a state of flow.

The music we use plays an important role in helping us to drop into a flow state of consciousness. ‘Connect’, ‘Move’ and ‘Release’ are the three sections of this experience. In between the three sections there is a drone sound which invites you to check in within yourself and using your interoceptive sense to feel what is moving through you.

The interest in the effects of music on the brain has produced a new field of research called neuromusicology which explores how the nervous system reacts to certain music., and the evidence is in — music activates every part of the brain and assists catharsis.

Aerial Yin/Restorative Workshop

With Pauline Gibbons

Saturday 25th May 2024   2:00-3:30pm

£25 pp    BOOK NOW 

When we picture an aerial yoga class, the image that often comes to mind is one of a challenging workout. However, this unique Yin/Restorative aerial yoga workshop offers a different experience by utilizing a hammock close to the ground.

Using the breath as a gentle guide, participants ease their bodies into postures, holding each for at least a minute, and often longer. This provides an opportunity to release accumulated tension, particularly in the back, neck, and hips.

The deliberate pace of this yoga style encourages a connection with one’s inner self, emphasizing focused breathing. This intentional breathing is renowned for its ability to reduce heart rate and blood pressure, contributing positively to stress levels.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to become entangled in the chaos of daily life. This workshop serves as a means to slow down both mentally and physically, facilitating rejuvenation and relaxation for the body and mind.

No prior experience with aerial yoga is required, making this workshop accessible to everyone, whether you’re a newcomer to yoga or an experienced practitioner.

Given the limited capacity, it’s advisable to secure your spot promptly to ensure you don’t miss out on this opportunity.
