Asana, Nidra & Sound: A Mini Retreat for the Mind
Take time out for a yoga mini-holiday at Love Yoga Ltd. on Sunday 18th March, from 2-4.30pm!
Is yer heed in a right fankle?
Then join Ecowarrior Yoga and Yoga and sound with Allan for an afternoon of yoga asana, nidra and sound meditation – a mini-retreat for the mind!
Take time for your body with a mindful, moving meditation: a slow hatha yoga flow to ignite all your chakras and honour your inner wisdom.
Following this, we’ll be exploring Yoga Nidra – the practice of mindful Yogic Sleep. You will be guided through a detailed sleep meditation that will allow your mind and body to slip into a deep state of relaxation. The brain will switch from beta to alpha waves, signalling the transition from activity to meditation.
This is the perfect segue into a beautiful healing sound meditation, which will be guided by singing bowls and a symphonic gong. Prepare to be bathed in vibrational energy.
Hot teas and vegan nibbles will be served after our practice to help us float back down to earth in the nicest way possible.
Mats & props provided, but bring anything you wish to help support your practice.
Cost: £20.
