SOUND BATH SUNDAYS

Monthly on Sundays at 3.00 and 4.30pm. 29 May, 26 June, 24 July, 4 September, 25 September, 2 October, 20 November and 4 December 2022

Join Naomi Hurst from Doda Yoga for a monthly Sound Bath at Studio Yoga.

This is a self-guided meditation aided by soothing sounds from a number of deeply melodic instruments. These include crystal singing bowls, symphonic gongs, wind chimes, rain sticks and other percussion instruments.  There is no movement, you are free to lie down in any comfortable position, but we do recommend being on your back to absorb the vibrations fully through your body and your ears. Please bring your own blankets to ensure maximum comfort for this relaxing and therapeutic experience.

Spaces are strictly limited so advance booking is essential. BOOK HERE

RESTORATIVE YOGA & PRANAYAMA MONTHLY CLASSES

Monthly at 4.00pm  Friday June 10, Sunday July 17, Friday September 16

Nourish yourself at this monthly class with a focus on relaxation. Restorative Yoga session involves conscious, deep rest. A quietening practice in which the body is fully supported, using props, in positions for ease and comfort, when all external stimulation is removed so the mind becomes still and calm, and the body can repair, heal and rejuvenate. The poses may be held for several minutes, allowing muscles to fully relax, and to feel a sense of openness, rather than stretching.

Pranayama is the word for yoga breathing techniques. These practices can help to reduce your stress levels and lower blood pressure. Breathing deeply sends a message to your brain to calm down, which then translates to your body – a simple and highly effective way to create a feeling of serenity and peace.

These sessions are for everyone. They complement more active classes and are an excellent way to care for yourself if you are feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed.
