Nurture your Body and Mind - Celebrate Love
Event description
Nurture Your Body and Mind
We, Rose and Harshani, welcome you to soak in the many benefits of combining yin yoga and sound healing. Seeing February is the month of love, we want to:
"Be still. Be Quiet! Find acquaintance with silence. Go inside and delve into your heart." (Rumi)
The yin yoga part of this event will take you through some heart opening postures. These will allow you to:
- Improve energy flow to the heart space
- Strengthen the upper back
- Improve posture
- Increase lung capacity
- Relieve tension in the back and shoulders and
- Stimulate the thyroid and pituitary glands.
The sessions start with yin yoga to the steady, rhythmical heartbeat of the medicine drum, which assists you to drop further into the poses, flows from savasana to the medicine drum sound healing, enabling positive energetic shifts to take place on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels, to closing the session with sharing of a yummy snack and chat.
Why we fuse Yin Yoga and Sound Healing?
Yin Yoga is a passive practice, involving deep stretches held for an average of 3-5 minutes, benefitting the largest tissue structure in the body, the connective tissue, ligaments, bones, joints and the deep fascia networks rather than the muscles. The degree of success of your Yin Yoga practice is equal to your ability to let go of any tension in your body and mind.
For most of us it is challenging to stop doing and just be. This is where the beat of the medicine drum will come into play. Your focus will be on the medicine drum until your heartbeat and breath fall in line rhythmically with the drum. This allows you to let go more and more and drop and relax deeper into the poses.
No previous yoga or meditation practice required.
