Immerse yourself in the harmonious combination of gentle yoga poses and soothing sound vibrations. This in-person event will be held at Martin Heath Hall, Christ Church Lane, Lichfield, UK.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with nature and yourself. Reserve your spot now!

During the first part of the workshop, we start with cleansing prananyama (breathwork) and a wonderful yoga practice to release any tension and stagnant energy stored in the body and mind from the last season. We will guide you through asanas (postures) focusing on each of the seven main chakras (energy centres) Allowing you to find that perfect inner balance and harmony ready for the new season. ⭐️

This is followed by a peaceful meditation followed by a journalling practice.

Yoga has many health benefits, more than just a stretch. Careful movement, breathwork (prananyama) and meditation can help to improve and strengthen your joints, bones, muscles, blood pressure, circulation, hormones, mental focus, stress levels, organ health. The list goes on, but most importantly we move out ‘fight or flight’ mode stimulated from this fast paced society helping you to find stillness and inner peace

We then move onto the second part of the workshop, which is the glorious magic of sound healing. You will be immersed in the soothing vibrations of beautiful instruments including,

Thursday Evening Energy Boost

Come and enjoy a mid-week energy boost.

I am looking forward to sharing the wonderful sounds of the gongs and other instruments in the Hall at Springdale Methodist Church. Here you will be immersed in the therapeutic sounds from various Gongs, and Therapeutic percussion such as shakers, rattles and rainsticks. You will have the chance to experience relaxation on a deep level, allowing the body’s systems to relax, re-balance and re-energise. Sound has been proven to facilitate a deeper meditative state and one that remains with the individual for a greater period of time than that of similar relaxation processes. This is a similar process to the Soundbath but many people have found the gongs more energising.
These sessions are ideal for people who experience anxiety, stress, negative beliefs, pain and for anyone who would like to enjoy the opportunity for deep relaxation. The gongbath is suitable for everyone apart from pregnant ladies who are in their first trimester. If you currently have or are being treated for severe/clinical depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or any other serious mental health condition please contact me.
After the gongbath there will time to reflect upon the experience.
Please bring a mat, blanket, and cushions to be as comfortable as possible. An eye mask might be also helpful.
I’m looking forward to meet you there 🙂

Sound Bath Meditation
2024-03-09 18:45 - 19:45 | Burton Green Village Hall, Red Lane, Burton Green, England, CV8 1PF, United Kingdom
Sound bath: 60 minutes of pure restorative bliss!

A sound bath is a beautiful meditative experience
Sound healing therapy is an ancient art which combines different sounds and music which enables the brain to reach Theta waves during which brings the body into a parasympathetic state improving our multi-dimensional well-being thereby creating a wonderfully relaxing experience during which our body, mind and soul are awakened both gently & lovingly. It is this Theta wave state which is conducive to cellular healing and recalibrates your body and mind helping to regulate blood pressure, ease tension, reduce anxiety and simply relax your mind, body and soul.
What happens at the session
Simply lie down or be seated in a comfortable position and snuggle up warm in your blanket, let yourself drift off allowing the sounds of the traditional healing instruments to wash over you to create a sense of inner calm and tranquillity. A time to practice self-care and compassion, travel inwards and release what no longer serves the soul and heightening your energetic vibration. Wake later fully rested
The session begins with a short guided meditation which then leads into the beautiful sound bath where healing instruments such as the Ocean drum, steel drum, koshi chimes Tibetan and Crystal singing Bowls, Gongs & other instruments are played . You will experience a variety of vibrations in the room generated by the instruments. The vibration of the gong is a powerful method for reducing stress,inducing a holistic resonance in the body and a spontaneous meditative state in the mind, resulting in a sense of expanded awareness and wholeness, and an intense sense of letting go.
60 minutes of pure restorative bliss!
No two sound healings are the same nor are two individual experiences but be assured you will leave the session in a more rested and peaceful state of mind.
