Yin Yoga & Sound Healing for Winter
Yin Yoga & Sound Healing for Winter
Join Gemma for a 2-hour winter-focused yin yoga and sound bath journey, designed to bring balance to body, mind, and soul as we move into the depths of the season.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is connected to the Water element and the energy of the Kidneys and Bladder—our reservoirs of vitality. This practice invites you to slow down, soften, and replenish through yin postures that release tension, encourage fluidity, and create space for emotional ease.
As we drop into stillness, we’ll attune to the inner flow of water within, supporting our natural capacity to rest, restore, and prepare for the renewal of spring. The journey will close with a deeply nourishing sound bath, where therapeutic vibrations gently calm the nervous system and invite profound relaxation.
This seasonal practice offers:
Gentle yin postures to hydrate tissues and ease stiffness
Space for reflection and quiet contemplation
The soothing resonance of sound for deep relaxation
An opportunity to honour winter’s call to rest, hibernate, and restore
You’ll leave feeling calmer, revitalised, and deeply replenished—ready to flow into the next season with clarity and renewed energy.

Winter Solstice: Cacao Ceremony & Sound Bath
As Winter Solstice approaches — the powerful pause at the heart of the year — we invite you to a nourishing evening of ceremonial cacao and sound immersion designed to help you reconnect, release, and realign.
We’ll begin by sharing ceremonial cacao, an ancient plant ally known for its uplifting and heart-softening qualities. You’ll be guided through ceremony, setting intention, and gentle reflection as the cacao supports a deeper connection to your inner wisdom.
Once grounded, we transition into a restorative sound journey, allowing the frequencies of crystal bowls, gong, Tibetan bowls, and harmonic instruments to guide you into spacious awareness. The sound vibration helps cleanse the energetic field, calm the nervous system, and create room for renewal.
This gathering is an invitation to honor the slow rhythms of winter, to acknowledge what you’re shedding, and to consciously call in the light of the new season. Whether you’re seeking clarity, comfort, community, or simply a moment of stillness, this space is for you.

Sound Bath: The Ultimate Friday Night Out
Join us for an evening of deep relaxation and healing as we combine the powerful practices of Yoga Nidra and a Crystal Sound Bath.
Yoga Nidra
Also known as "yogic sleep," Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation designed to bring you into a profound state of relaxation. It helps reduce stress, improve sleep, and restore your energy. Through gentle cues, you'll be led to a meditative state between wakefulness and sleep, allowing your body and mind to rest and rejuvenate.
Crystal Sound Bath
Following the Yoga Nidra session, immerse yourself in the healing vibrations of a Crystal Sound Bath. The pure tones of crystal singing bowls create a soothing soundscape that helps release tension, balance energy, and promote emotional healing. The harmonic frequencies encourage a deep state of tranquility and inner peace.
What to Expect:
A calm and supportive environment to unwind
Gentle guidance through Yoga Nidra for relaxation
Immersive sound healing with crystal bowls
Feelings of rejuvenation, calmness, and clarity
No prior experience is needed. Just bring yourself, a mat, and an open heart for this nourishing experience!
