Join Sonya for a deeply relaxing evening event for a cosy evening of beautiful sounds and deep relaxation as we bathed in the vibrations leading into deep rest. Often in our daily lives, we may feel at times fragmented, overwhelmed and exhausted with our endless daily tasks. So it's essential to take time slow down and pause and listen to the the body's cry for rest so that we can re-charge, become clearer and live with grace and ease through our days.

A Sound Bath is a powerful way to bring the body into a deep form of relaxation and ease. It works as the sound vibrations from gongs, himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, rattles, drums and other instruments such as chimes are used to create mesmerising vibrations of sounds that can help to release emotional and energy blockages in the body and stimulate healing in a gentle yet a very deep way.

Explore gentle breathing techniques and practices that will lead into a guided deep relaxation known as "yoga nidra" yoga sleep to settle body, mind and heart in preparation to receive the healing vibration of sounds.

BENEFITS OF SOUND HEALING:
Reduces stress physically, mentally and emotionally.
Eases anxiety and may ease depression.
