Friday 25th September 7.30pm
Join Bryony and Silas for a deeply restorative experience combining guided Yoga Nidra, immersive nature soundscapes and a live acoustic sound bath. Yoga Nidra is a systematic form of guided relaxation, sometimes described as “yogic sleep”. You’ll be supported to settle comfortably, soften physical tension and gradually move into the quieter space between waking and sleep. As Silas guides the Yoga Nidra practice, the sounds of oceans, forests and jungles will move through Soma Luna’s surround-sound system. You’ll then remain resting as he creates a live sound bath using: • Gongs • Crystal singing bowls • Chimes • Celtic drums • The delicate, ethereal sounds of the Sansula Research into Yoga Nidra suggests that regular practice may help to reduce perceived stress and anxiety, support sleep and improve emotional wellbeing. Studies of singing bowls and sound-based relaxation also suggest potential benefits for short-term relaxation, mood and nervous-system regulation.
Together, Bryony and Silas bring decades of experience across yoga, yoga therapy, meditation, somatic practice, restorative work and therapeutic sound. The session will be carefully paced and held, allowing you to rest without needing to perform, stretch or follow a complicated meditation technique. No yoga experience is needed. Please wear warm, comfortable clothing. We have all the props you could need, but you may wish to bring your own mat and blanket or cushion.
Afterwards, there will be time to gently reorient, chat and ask questions about the instruments and practices.
