A sublime yin style meditative experience to sound. This is a floor-based, gentle practice where you will be guided by sound and the process of reflective self-enquiry that will aim to transform - moving you from form towards the formless transcendental field of union, of Yoga.
Benefits - Deep rest, healing, increased self-awareness & insights.
Beginning with an opening chant – Coming into Presence at 5 PM, the session will go for 90-minutes and finish with a Cup of Chai afterwards (allow two hours).

-= About Avril Bastiansz =-
Yoga Teacher, Holistic Counsellor, Psychotherapist & Nutritionist
I love to teach. I love to learn. I have been a dedicated yogi for over a decade, practicing, teaching, learning and integrating yoga into my lifestyle.
I teach with the highest end-goal in mind – Yoga as a pathway to the Self (Vedanta).
Yoga to me is experiential and transformative, a practice that leads us to know who we are and why we are here, through a continuous process of increasing self-awareness & expansion of consciousness that leads to a way of Being and relating in the world. This is my philosophy which is deeply rooted in the supreme knowledge of the Veda’s and codified in Yoga Sutras of Pathanjali’s 8- limbs of Yoga.
I trained as a Hatha Yoga teacher. My own practice led me to explore the meditative practices and I became a teacher of Vedic Mantra Meditation. I have trained in Himalayan Kundalini Kriya Yoga & as Mental Health Aware Yoga teacher.
I am also a Holistic Counsellor & Psychotherapist and a Nutritionist.
I love how I can weave all of these and my life experiences together to enhance my teachings. In my classes & workshops, I like to integrate all of the elements of yoga; movement, breath, kriya, mantra, meditation, knowledge & philosophy, in order to create a safe & transformative experience for you.
