OLD SCHOOL YOGA STUDIO SUA [CV37] **AFTERNOON ** GONG BATH ||SOUND BATH

All you need to do is turn up, lie down and get comfortable with blankets and pillows as you relax and “bathe” in the healing vibrations of sound. A number of different sounds and instruments will be played during this sound/gong bath, so you will experience many different vibrational frequencies washing over you.

Whilst we can’t see energy, we can feel it as vibrations and all energy, all vibrations generate sound. Sound is one way for us to experience energy.

Sound energy can have a healing impact on many levels. Deep vibration can release the tension of muscles and pain, it massages the organs and rewires the brain which allows stress and anxiety to disappear.

You may have heard the term sound or gong bath before but perhaps not 'Nada Yoga' - Nada meaning sound and Yoga meaning union - so “union through sound”. The union of body, mind and spirit.

Spaces are limited so book in advance is essential. This is a monthly event which I aim to run on the last Wednesday of the month but please do check the event dates here on Eventbrite.

- yoga mat or something to lie on for comfort

- 2 x bed pillows or cushions (for your head and beneath your knees so that your lower back can really relax)

- 1 x eye pillow or light scarf to cover your eyes

- 1 or 2 blankets - or something to cover yourself as your body temperature will drop as you relax

People coming along to these sessions often comment on feeling like they're coming for a sleepover with everything they bring but everyone is the same so don't worry. What's most important for these sessions is that you're comfortable when you lay down for an hour. Just wear what you are most comfortable in, some people come along in leggings and others in jeans.

Also there are no shoes in the studio so you may want to bring some socks!

The postcode for the yoga studio is CV37 8NG.

If you know the shop and cafe in Preston on Stour then the studio is next door to that ...heading out of Stratford on the Shipston Road it is the turning on the right about halfway between Stratford and Alderminster by the Alscot Estate. You should see the long brick wall of the Alscot Estate and the turning to Preston is at the end of the brick wall. When you turn into Preston Lane, follow the road for a short way and then over the little bridge and round the bend towards the right. The first thing you will see on the right is the village hall. There is a cut out for village hall parking there and the driveway to the studio is next to the cut out (there is a small wooden sign at the entrance to the driveway)...it is quite a narrow drive but there is parking at the rear and the entrance to the yoga studio where we will be is at the rear. Some people also park on the road as it is not a main road that is a cut through to anywhere so this is fine.

**Important : Please do not use the Village Hall car parking area as this is strictly for village hall events and you are likely to get blocked in**

The photo below shows the entrance to the narrow drive that leads to the studio.

There is a free car park at the rear of the studio and the entrance to the yoga studio where we will be is also at the rear. It is quite a narrow driveway leading to the carpark so pull out wide before turning in! Some people also park on the road as it is not a main road that is a cut through to anywhere so this is fine.

It starts at 1.45pm but I am always there early so do come along earlier to give yourself time to settle in. Most people arrive 10mins before the start.

If you have any questions at all just give me a call on 01789 608378 otherwise I hope to see you soon!
