Events and Workshops

 

In addition to therapy and general yoga classes, Steve and I also run full and half days events and workshops, as well as retreats.

 
 

Yin and Yoga Nidra

 

 

Yin yoga gives us the space to slow down, a chance to stay with our experiences rather than rushing. Yin yoga focuses on the connective tissues of the body: tendons, ligaments, fascia, together with the joints. It is a very slow practice and mainly works the area of the body 'above the knees and below the navel'.

  • All postures are practised seated or lying down and often held for around 2-5 minutes using props to support the body. During this sustained hold there is an encouragement of softness and muscle has a chance to release, this in turn leads to the connective tissues becoming more hydrated and our flexibility starts to improve. It gives us a welcome opportunity to just be and really turn inwards and listen to the body.

    We then lie down to rest in the most comfortable position possible whilst we are guided through a Yoga Nidra practice.

    Yoga Nidra translates into ‘Yogic Sleep’, it is a blissfully relaxing practice. It’s everybody's treasure… Yoga Nidra is a great treasure, a potent meditative resource for healing, insight, and empowerment.

    It's a state of consciousness in which we are invited to re-encounter the essential truth of who we really are. Yoga Nidra provides us with the opportunity to experience deep freedom. It welcomes us all home to ourselves.

    It can become a deeply relaxing and nurturing practice and aid with a better night’s sleep.

 

Wellness Days

 

 

Full day and half days available often held at Well House Yoga Space near Darley, Harrogate. The days are usually themed taking into account the seasons, honouring the natural rhythm of life. A 2 course buffet lunch is provided together with all refreshments. All props are provided however you may prefer to bring your own.

Yin and Sound Oasis

 

 

These are group sessions which combine Yin Yoga and Sound Oasis. You are invited to simply lie down, settle in and experience an immersive soundscape to relieve the stresses and tensions of daily life and receive an emotional tune up. These events are suitable for people of all levels, experience and abilities.

    Sound Oasis uses sound, music and specialist instruments played in therapeutic ways, combined with deep self-reflection techniques to improve health and wellbeing. Using a combination of relaxing meditation and instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls this leads to a release of tension, discomfort and pain, both in the mind and body.
