Assisted Yin – Last Sunday of every month
Assisted Yin is a strongly supported therapeutic experience which brings the body and mind in to equilibrium and harmony. Yin Yoga is a subtle and yet profound practice where you focus on the deep inter connective tissues of the body.
In this special two hour class you will be guided through a deeply nourishing sequence of Yin poses. The poses are held between 3 to 5 minutes. Within this time massage therapist Anna will work her Myo fascial massage magic on you, enabling and gently assisting you to find a deeper physical release within the pose.
The session will end with a beautiful guided meditation ensuring you leave feeling completely relaxed and replenished.
The Rest Retreat
Sunday 19th January 2025
Winter is the time to slow down, surrender, rest more and enjoy restful sleep. Yet many people struggle with deep rest and sleep
Helen will guide you on a 2 hour journey tailored specifically to support your body in the season of Winter. Dive into the organ system most susceptible and requiring most support – the ‘batteries’ of your body – your Kidneys. Here resides your ‘jing’ essence, your vitality and sense of Will. Restore their energy and feel the resilience your body needs to support you through the Winter season.
This offering will be infused with the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine. Discover your meridian system and connect to acupressure points which support restful sleep, offering inspiration for your sleep routine.
Helen will be using essential oils for that extra healing sense, and you will be able to purchase some on the day should you wish that extra support when you leave.
The practice includes calming breathwork, acupressure, yin, and deep relaxation with wisdom guidance according to Eastern philosophy and traditional Chinese medicine.
Vibe: Restful, peaceful, soothing, calming, inspiring.
