WHAT TO EXPECT
Be prepared for a gentle and deeply restorative evening of warmth, community, and Winter Solstice magic. This annual pre-Christmas event is a relaxing and heart-warming opportunity to give back to yourself and recharge amidst the busy festive period. The evening will focus on bringing balance and calmness to the body, mind and heart; while fostering a sense of gratitude and wonder through powerful reflective and intention-setting practices.
-
We’ll open the evening with soothing breathwork to regulate the nervous system, followed by a sweet intention setting practice. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Winter is the time when the water element — the root of vitality, comes into dominance. The water element manifests within the kidney and bladder meridians in the body, so our extended Yin Yoga practice will explore postures that stimulate and nourish these meridians to invite deep relaxation and revitalise our energetic system.
From the Yin Practice, we’ll transition softly into Yoga Nidra and meditation by the warming glow of candlelight, followed by a powerful gratitude practice. We’ll close the evening with hot chocolate, herbal teas, freshly baked gingerbread and mince pies, and plenty of time for connection and wholesome conversation.
All are welcome in this space — whether you’re new to yoga or a regular practitioner; just come with an open heart and a willingness to unwind and reconnect to what’s most important during this festive season.
