An invitation at Easter to dwell in the Love of the natural Self.
Bring yourself to your Self, through asana (physical postures), yoga nidra with sound bath, cacao and mantra. An opportunity to remember and rediscover the resonances within these practices.
Cultivating Relaxation & Openness – The asana sequence will be predominantly Hatha, slow and gentle, inviting a re-orchestration of specific energy awakening in you while harmonising the chakras – wheels of energy along the spine.
Yoga Nidra and Sound Bath – “A powerful technique in which you learn to relax consciously. True relaxation is actually an experience far beyond all this. For absolute relaxation you must remain aware. This is yoga nidra, the state of dynamic sleep” – Yoga Nidra/2009 – Swami Satyananda Saraswati.
During the practice of yoga nidra, you’ll be enveloped by the live sound of Tibetan bowls, and tingshas, intertwined with silence. Resting in your cosy nest.
A Heartwarming Cup of 100% Pure Cacao as a “hot drink – A non-ceremonial dose of cacao will be on offer while chanting / listening to the live sound of mantra. A lighter version of less than 42gr, still packed with its superfood benefits and the magical support for journeying into the Heart.
Devotional Training of the Heart: Mantra or ‘Instrument of the mind’. A unique combination of syllables that can bring a particular energy, ease and harmony to mind & heart. You’ll be entering the vibrational waves field of ‘mantra’ accompanied with guitar, harmonium and drum. Sing along or remain bathed in sound.

Together we will explore grounding & uplifting meditation practices & ideas, in form & in energy: Seated, reclined & walking meditation. Each day will unfold with moving & still meditative yoga asana. We sprinkle & soak in mantra meditation, metta bhavana & chakra meditation.
Well-being ideas are also shared & practiced. We infuse awareness with questions for the body, mind-heart (citta) & spirit. We bathe in consciousness, with breath practices & enjoy simple doses of conscious being, with shaking medicine~meditation. Poetry & prose are woven into the fabric of each day, to open us up to possibility, mystery and appreciation.
