My next yoga & sound bath session we celebrate the sunshine, this was an outdoor event but as the weather is so unpredictable Im running at the normal space at The Oaks Community hall. I don't want to change things last minute and feel happier knowing we wont get rained on or soggy ground to rest on. Don't worry, I will be sharing an outdoor yoga and sound bath session when we have a good run of clear bright warm weather (Most likely August!)
It's time to enjoy a little down time. Enjoy a soothing and heart opening yoga practice to uplift and fill yourself up with summer sun! Come and join me for a beautiful summer inspired yoga & sound bath session. With the summer sun shining through our inner fire sparks more vibrance and energy, we feel motivated, happy and light on our feet! Our yoga practice will be inspired by the light feathers and wings of the summer birds, moving through postures in a way that is fluid and seamless, we weave, we sway and we open our arms and heart to connect to the heart chakra.
Enjoy a practice that will ease upper body tensions, allowing any heavy load (physical or emotional) to slip off the shoulders.
+ Enjoy a slow & gentle flow opening the arms, shoulders, heart & upper body.
+ Myofascial Release for the hands and neck.
+ Guided meditation & visualisation.
+ Deep relaxation sound bath with crystal singing bowls. chimes, hand pan and other beautiful instruments.
SATURDAY 18th JUNE 6.00-8.00pm
£20 per person
Within this self care workshop we are inspired by Summer! The season of clarity and vibrance, when everything is in full bloom, shining to its full potential! Self care is something within our lives that often gets put to the bottom of the priority pile. We find we get stressed more easily, we get triggered by the tiniest things, our patience becomes less and we then find ourselves in a vicious cycle of fatigue and overwhelm. Building a self care practice isn't to be looked at as selfish, it is necessary! Enjoy 2 hours of inspirational teachings, practices to uplift your spirits, to support and nourish you, to remind you that you are a powerful being. Yoga to move and shake off stress, visualisation meditation to connect to the senses and a self care gift box to make you smile!
SATURDAY 25th JUNE 11.00am - 1.00pm
£20 per person. (NHS Discount does not apply)
Within this workshop you will:
+ Enjoy a guided meditation inspired by the summer sun, inner passion and awakening that spark for life.
+ Be guided through a playful yoga flow practice cultivating inner vibrance, clarity and passion., this is a fun one!
+ Slowing down at the end of practice to absorb our inner sunshines warmth and glow, be guided through a lovely Guasha (facial massage) ritual.
+ Take away a self care gift box with goodies from neals yard, lush, your own jade guasha, inspirational card and summer cleansed crystal.
+ Inspiration oracle card wishes with Rebecca.
This workshop is open to everyone!
Beginners to advanced, honouring a yoga practice is well rounded and very often starts from a place of self care before physical postures. Come and explore, create balance and enjoy celebrating Summer!
