Returning to Rest
Restorative Yoga & Gong Bath
Thursday 3rd December | 6.30pm - 8.30pm £15 per person
In a world that often asks us to keep going, keep doing, and keep achieving, we can postpone rest instead of prioritising it.
Returning to Rest invites us to gently slow down, listen, gaze inward, and allow the body to soften.
Through a series of restorative yoga practices, supported by blocks, bolsters, cushions, blankets and guidance, we will explore how small adjustments can create profound shifts in the body and nervous system. Together we will practice listening to what the body needs, releasing unnecessary effort, and creating the conditions for deep rest.
For me, movement is often an important doorway into stillness. Sometimes it is only a small shift, a subtle adjustment, or a moment of awareness that allows the body to settle more fully and comfortably. This session draws on my experience in somatic movement, restorative yoga, and sound healing to support that gentle transition from activity into rest.
What is Restorative Yoga?
Restorative yoga is a deeply nourishing practice that uses carefully supported postures, pranayama breathwork and awareness and relaxation techniques to encourage the body's natural capacity for restoration and healing. Unlike more active forms of yoga, restorative yoga invites us to rest completely, allowing the nervous system to settle and the body to release tension at its own pace.
It is accessible to people of all experience levels. It can be especially supportive for those experiencing stress, overwhelm, fatigue, anxiety, or simply a need for more spaciousness and self-care.
Restorative Yoga & Gong Bath
The stillness cultivated through restorative yoga pairs beautifully with the immersive sounds of the gong.
As the body settles and becomes more receptive, participants are invited to rest comfortably and receive a therapeutic gong bath featuring gongs and other soothing instruments. The vibrations and rich harmonics can support deep relaxation, helping to quiet the busy mind and create a sense of spaciousness, calm and renewal.
My Journey
I have been practising yoga since 1989 and, two years ago, felt called to deepen my understanding of restorative yoga through a 70-hour specialist training. Taking a reflective and thorough approach, I spent a full year immersing myself in the practice and philosophy of restorative yoga.
This session brings together my experience in somatic movement, restorative yoga, and sound healing with singing bowls and gongs to offer a unique, nurturing experience that supports the body, mind, and soul in finding rest.
Come as you are.
Leave feeling grounded, restored and connected to yourself.
