Healing Yin + Sound

In this one-off experience offered to all women, Simone, Beth and Leaf come together to provide a blissful, centering journey back to your centre with a perfect blend of nourishing Yin Yoga and healing sound.

During this one hour 30 minute Sunday afternon session, your whole being will have the opportunity to bask in healing practices, that when combined in this way, offer a potent line direct to liberation (moksha). What has been stuck can be realeased, what is out of balance can return – revealing the true light within, infused with clarity, peace and joy.

About Yin Yoga – w Simone:

Yin is practice where shapes are held for a length of time, anywhere between two to five minutes (or more). Supported by props where necessary, these long passive holds allow us to work into the deeper tissues in the body, where fascia experts say deeply lodged patterns of holdings are held – ‘the issues are in the tissues’.

In this session we will use a practice drawn from the roots of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that is ideal for the season of Autumn. Related to the ‘metal’ element our shapes (or poses) will target the meridian pathways of the lung and large intestine (based in the upper body and chest), to help any stuck feelings and inability to let go.

This is a practice that is suitable for all stages and ages. No experience is necessary.

About sound healing – w Beth & Leaf

Open and receptive in and between your Yin poses, is the opportunity for sound to penetrate deep into your tissues, helping to further nourish your entire being and vibrate every cell back to harmony.You will be treated to soft guitar from Beth and song from Leaf, two local talented musicians are coming together for the first time to offer their talents to us. Together, they have a toolbox of healing sound, which they will intuitively gift on the day to energetically align you back to your natural state of wellness and balance. 

Amongst the sound on offer will be original Sanskrit mantras and chants – the powerful languge of yoga and the Bhakti tradition, handed down over the centuries as healing medicine for all, along with Rainbow songs. Rainbow songs also offer healing vibrations and have originated from communities of people who congregate in remote forests around the world for a full moon cycle, with the intention of living a shared ideology of peace, harmony, freedom, and respect. 

Sound or vibration is at the core of all life and is known to have the power to alleviate physical pain and shift emotional and psychological states, bringing about increased access to healing, harmony and connection. 

This experience falls on the eve of the full moon, making it an even more potent time to shed and release and bring it a state of ease.
