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.

Restore & Dream: Mellow Movement, Breath, Yin & Yoga Nidra
The J&T Method is a Mind, Body & Soul system. This workshop focuses on the mind & soul element with introspection.
Open the door to natural replenishment with this deeply restorative, creative and nourishing practise.
I will be your guide, but you will be the leader of your own practise. Enough of being told what to do, this is your time to restore and connect to the inner wisdom of you! You will journey into the rich rivers of movement within the body through mellow movement, breath, yin and yoga nidra.
You’ll slink into new waves of consciousness in a safe and supported way, and possibly even into a blissful sleep (which is welcomed). During this magical container you can make space for a wondrous doorway into your own inner intuition and insight.
Before you leave the room, I will bring us all back into the space with some movement so that you can land again in our physical body before you go about the rest of your day.
(Bring your notepad in case you want to journal or do any creative writing).
EVERYONE is welcome! Especially if you want to RELAX!!!!

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!
