Autumn and Winter are the ideal seasons for introspection, rest, digestion, and reflection. As we transition into these seasons, we instinctively turn inward. However, the pace of the modern world often doesn't permit us to decelerate during the winter months as our ancestors did. Therefore, this session is an excellent opportunity to take a moment for ourselves and embrace a slower pace.Restorative Yoga | Slows Down the Pace of Life
Restorative yoga is an excellent opportunity to disconnect from the frenetic activity of daily life and let your speedometer return to 0 mph. It offers a welcome respite among all the turbulence of life and helps to prepare the mind and body for the inward stroke of meditation and deepened awareness. Moving slowly through the poses allows you to explore your mind and body at a steady and natural tempo. Using props eg Bolsters, blocks, blankets and sand bags we will marinade in each posture for at least five minutes, allowing the body and mind to surrender.
Soothing to the Nervous System
The slower pace and deep breathing that you get in a restorative yoga class triggers the parasympathetic nervous system from the very first pose. This activation helps to mitigate the effects of the regular fight-or-flight stress response that can be damaging to your physiology and well-being. The overall calming effect on the nervous system sets a deeply relaxing tone for the class that comforts your whole being
Once the body is open and receptive after the Yoga practise we are ready to receive the sounds of the Gong and other musical instruments. We will embark on a deeply meditative journey. The Gong bathes the entire body in powerful sound vibrations or tones, which can affect you at an energetic and cellular level. When the gong is played with intention profound healing can occur.
A gong bath is a very relaxing experience and can be very effective in dealing with stress, creating a sense of wellbeing and peace. Participants often receive clarity about issues they are experiencing and the new wave of energy a gong bath produces can create positive change on all levels
This session is 2 hours long and will leave you feeling deeply relaxed.
