A ritual of self-care and holistic healing, Yoga Nidra uses a collection of time-tested techniques to help the practitioner experience a mind state often referred to as “peace beyond words”.

During these events you will be guided through a nurturing Yin Yoga session by Melissa where the emphasis is on releasing tension & letting go and then you will be immersed in a relaxing Sound Bath with Alison where you will float away and forget all your worries.

For those who are unfamiliar with Yin or Sound Baths, here’s a brief description:

Yin yoga is a slower-paced, meditative style that targets the body’s deep connective tissues. Yin usually consists of a series of longer-held, passive floor poses that mainly target the lower body (hips, pelvis, inner thighs and lower spine).

Some of the many benefits include:

• Calms and balances mind & body
• Improves flexibility, mobility & range of movement
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Enhances flow of chi/prana/energy

A Sound Bath is a form of meditation and sound therapy. It induces a deep state of calm & relaxation. It is referred to as a bath due to participants being immersed in the vibration of the instruments.

Some of the many benefits include:

• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Reduces fatigue
• Reduces depression and anger
• Enhances mood
• Encourages a better night’s sleep

• All equipment is provided but participants are encouraged to bring their own blankets.
• The sessions are suitable for most people, including complete beginners.
• Refreshments are provided at the end.
• Cost: £20
• Contact Melissa at Yoga Bee on 07703 807027 for date of next ‘Yin Yoga & Sound Bath’ session and to book your place.
