PLS SIGN UP prior so I know on numbers ~ 🙏
‘By the fireside SONG CIRCLE’ is the inspiration for these new, monthly SESSIONS ~
Sound & vibration, including our own voice, is the very best way to nurture a bright, warm & expansive heart💓. And there’s nothing like a deeply nourishing & joy-filled sound immersion to support your transition to SPRING🌱 into Summer time !
We all know MUSIC lifts our heart & shifts our mood, the vibrations helping us to release tension & held emotions, triggering those ‘feel good vibes’. Sounding/voicing is like giving ourselves an inner massage ~ it also facilitates a fuller exhalation, making space for the new & inviting a deeper, revitalising breath. And there’s nothing like joining our voices together to feel connected & joyful !
And a note here, we all have a voice – these sessions are about kindly exploring together without judgment ~ it’s a perfect place to come & let go of any ‘I can’t sing’ inner chatter & just give it a try !
Each sessions will be unique ~ Starting with a deeply relaxing SOUND BATH, perfect to sooth, rest & relax from your busy week, you’ll then be guided into peaceful visualisation inspired by YOGA NIDRA. We'll gently awaken voice & body with sounding practices, & move into simple call/response ancient MANTRAS & BHAJANS (both in Sanskrit & English) led by VOICE & GUITAR, as well as a fun song or two ! ~ & to round off, you can sit back & enjoy some LIVE music & song. How does that sound? :)
No previous experience or yoga gear needed! ~ all mats, comfy cushions & blankets provided.
What better way to round off a busy week, than immersed in a deeply relaxing MUSICAL COCOON ? Your restful place awaits you at this lovely, bijou studio, ZEN Yoga, SE5 !

Some FEEDBACK from past sessions ...
‘It was a pleasure to take part. I loved the way you structured the experience & the guitar & singing were sublime.’ Clare
"Post the session, I felt lighter and had a spring in my step which provided some much needed energy for the weekend":) CG
"The class provided a much needed opportunity to get away from the madding crowd on a Friday evening & do something completely different. Yoga Nidra & chanting is a great way to sign off a busy week. Highly recommend!" Catherine

Awaken out of winter hibernation & bring a spring to your step! Join to salute the Spring sunshine & breath prana throughout your whole being, livening up your inner-body zest ! We'll incluce heart opening backbends to help energize & revitalize, & twists to help detoxify sleepy sluggish organs & strengthen metabolic fire!
A little about the layout of the day… we'll start with a more dynamic morning session focussing on asana & awakening pranayama practices. After a shared light lunch, we'll continue delving a little deeper, including meditation practices which could be a stepping stone to home practice if you so wish. We'll round off the day with a deeply restorative guided Yoga Nidra (‘yoga sleep’).
This is a day for all to come & explore, for us to share our yoga practice in more depth, to unravel specific postures/practices, to question, discover, play & maybe challenge & stretch our boundaries a little further... but most of all to enjoy & relax together in the beautiful environment of Siobhan Davies Studios !
Open to all levels - for beginners, a perfect introduction & for existing yogis, an opportunity to deepen & boost your practice.
~ Please bring healthy light vegetarian snack to share ~
~ Miso soup, teas & afternoon snacks will be provided ~

Feedback from past workshops:
"I felt so grounded & fortified after the workshop last year, & this feeling carried through into the whole of my wintertime. I was surprised by how peaceful, gentle & calming the day was & I managed to avoid having any colds all season. That's a first for me!" Sarah Jane
"A whole day workshop sounds quite daunting but I took the plunge and have been keen on them ever since, perfect for detox and really sets up a relaxing weekend. The day is split into 3 sessions with the middle session working in depth on a few poses, so you have more time to practice and try different things (and sometimes get a breakthrough on some tricky bits you never thought you could try, but only if you feel energetic). And the final session is a completely chilled out yoga sleep, which is a led relaxation and just manages to unwind every bit of tension from the week gone by. Also get to meet lovely people and try Belle's v tasty flapjacks!! Would definitely book on another one" Zoe
~ Looking forward to a joyful day together ! ~
