Description
After a beautiful deepening into the heart session in February, we are delighted to be offering an evening of harnessing the power of spring.
Join us for an evening of Yin Yoga and Sound Healing with an intention of connecting to the power of spring energy and choosing how we tap into our inner power and creativity and releasing any winter energy that no longer benefits us. We will take you on a journey of sound that will resonate very deeply within the solar plexus with a number of powerful yin yoga shapes. The essential oil of Bergamot will be our ally on this journey - she is mighty for working with the solar plexus.
The combined experience of sound healing and yoga can be immensely supportive and profound!
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is a way of working our deep tissues and keeping our joints healthy. It is also a deeply meditative practice as the poses are each held for a few minutes fully supported by props to take away any strain.
Whilst it can be a struggle to still our body and mind, once this challenge is overcome, there is a wonderful feeling of stillness and peace. The practice allows us to connect with our bodies, being aware of tightness and limitations so that we can work with them rather than against them. It is also a fantastic opportunity for self-reflection.
Sound Healing
Working with sound can bridge healing across the physical, emotional, and mental bodies. By immersing in pure therapeutic sounds, it can help create harmony or shift blocked energy within the body and energy fields.
Whilst you hold the yoga shapes, you will be able to receive the benefits of sound. You will find them deeply relaxing, releasing, and transformative. Participants often find that the sounds help to quieten the mind and supporting you in holding the shapes. And for some, it helps them to go deeper into the shape as the muscles relax in response to the sounds.
What’s Included:
Sound Healing Journey with your chosen healing intention - including alchemy crystal bowls, drums, gong and other instruments whilst you hold yoga shapes. There may also be the opportunity to experience the instruments on the body which helps the sounds to be felt even deeper within. We will incorporate time for self reflection with journaling prompts that you can start in the session and continue at home. We will bring in an essential oil to support us and also use as an anchor into the energy of this practice.
Individual and group reflection time afterwards with homemade refreshments and treats, for those who feel drawn to connect more deeply.
Your Facilitators
My name is Joanna Brant, I have been called to work with the body and emotions through various styles of Yoga and ancient healing traditions. Through my own experience I have witnessed how the body claims unprocessed trauma and experiences. I am specifically drawn to the Shamanic path of exploration through the elements of nature and my passion is to inspire others to reach their full potential. I am dedicated to holding space for others where we share this wisdom, to own our shadow and take responsibility to let go of the past and step into the life of we wish to create through self-love and sacred union.
My name is Lynda Gillingham and I have spent the last 20 years helping others to shine their light in the world and live a life of inspired action, self-love and joy, which I find deeply satisfying. I am qualified in hypnotherapy, sound healing, past & current life regression therapy, inner child healing, reiki and life coaching and I have a strong passion for essential oils and nature. I love running my holistic business Empower & Grow supporting individuals and groups across Wiltshire and online. As a mother of 2 teens, I understand the demands and rewards of balancing a busy life and caring for oneself.
We look forward to welcoming you to share in this journey with us.
With love, Joanna and Lynda xx
