Join me for a Sunday afternoon energetic reset. Intentional rest and imaginative wanderings for tired minds and weary bodies. Sauna, Yoga Nidra & Sound Meditation 🧘‍♀️ Here's a short section in the same tone and style as the rest of your event description: 🔥 Sauna Preparation Before we settle into Yoga Nidra and Sound Meditation, you'll be invited to enjoy a gentle 30-minute sauna session. This is an opportunity to begin slowing down, shedding the layers of the week, and arriving fully into the space. The warmth of the sauna can help ease physical tension, encourage relaxation, and support the body's natural unwinding process, creating the ideal conditions for deeper rest. Think of it as the first step of the journey: a chance to soften, settle the nervous system, and transition away from the busyness of daily life before being guided into the restorative practices that follow. As with the rest of the afternoon, there's nothing to achieve and nowhere to rush. Simply allow yourself to pause, breathe, and prepare to receive. 💧 Please remember to stay hydrated In a world where we are being driven mad by the drive for more, Yoga Nidra is the counter culture. Reminding us that rest IS productive. Resourcing ourselves is not a luxury or something we should feel guilty for, though often we do. A Yoga Nidra and Sound Meditation practice can form part of the revolution away from the relentless need for more that has been normalised. Following this, you’ll be guided into a deeply immersive and skillfully woven sound meditation. Using instruments such as crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, and gongs, this practice gently shifts the brain through different wave states—moving from the busy beta waves of everyday thinking into the calmer alpha and theta states associated with creativity, deep relaxation, and dream-like imagery. Some may even access the delta state, where the body enters deep rest and cellular repair. This shift, known as brainwave entrainment, helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and support emotional and physical healing. The best thing? All you need to do is lie back, let go, and receive the waves of vibration as they ripple through body and mind. This Yoga Nidra + Sound Meditation is an invitation to take your rest seriously. Not as something to be earned once everything is finished, but as something essential: a way of restoring your resources, tending to your inner world, and replenishing yourself for whatever Winter has in store. Home made herbal tea and treats will be provided. Please bring your own mug :) 🧘‍♀️ No yoga experience needed 🌿 A yoga mat, blanket, bolster and eye mask will be provided but do bring anything else that helps you feel cosy or a journal if you'd like to take some time to reflect. 📞 Any questions?
