Rest and Receive - Restorative Yoga and Sound Journey

In today’s world, we are engrained with the idea that hard work and productivity are more important than rest and relaxation. Almost to the point that allowing ourselves to do nothing, is easily labeled as “being lazy”. This has created a culture of overactive minds, physically depleted bodies, and strung out nervous systems. 

Come join us for an evening where we counter these beliefs, and allow ourselves to indulge in deep relaxation, by the body being held by yoga props and blankets,  as we invite the mind to come into a space of wonder, while receiving the healing vibrations of ancient sound healing instruments from around the world. 

Richie will start out with a centering, setting some intention together for our Journey, followed by leading through a series of restorative yoga poses, which will allow the body to fully surrender. Once in the pose, he will use different sound instruments to support the body in releasing held energy blocks, and opening up the chakras and energy centers to flow more clearly whilst the body moves deeper and deeper into a state of relaxation and bliss. We will move through a sequence of poses that will have the physical and energy body open, allowing for peace of mind, and even messages from our soul to deeply speak to us. 

We will complete the evening with an Angel card, and an opportunity to integrate the experience, sharing about what came through in the Journey.


Please Join us for this wonderful opportunity to rest the body, rejuvenate the heart, and allow the soul to sing!
