Sunday Rest - 4 weeks of self-care

"Remember that rest isn't something you have to earn. You are worthy of rest because you are." 

Octavia Raheem

Let’s gather to find time and space for ourselves at this time of year when finding cosyness, softness, calmness and ease is so important. Autumn is the perfect time to wind-down, to make time for yourself after the high energy of summer and before the crazyness of the festive season.

This series of 4 gorgeous Sunday evenings has been curated to calm and nourish you through the autumn transition. To balance out the stresses of modern life and gently shift your body and mind to a more peaceful, calm & grounded place.

These series of evenings will provide the opportunity to let go of the stress and busyness of modern life for a little while, to build you resilience and to experience techniques to use at home for moments of calm and peacefulness too. To take some time to pause, to resource ourselves so we are more grounded - in spite of difficulties and distractions in the world - to ensure that we are feeding our own self-care, whilst resting in a beautiful space together.

What we'll do:

~ We'll practice simple gentle fluid somatic movement,  that will release tension and stress from the your body.

~ There will be replenishing restorative yoga postures to help the body deeply rest & relax (lying down, all cosy with bolsters and blankets) 

~ Spend time with simple but super effective breathing practices to calm and soothe.

~ Practice simple meditation practices to feel connected and grounded, that you can then use whenever you need to in daily life as I'll send you an email each week of recordings to use

~ ending with a long guided relaxation (yoga nidra) to really let go in your mind.

There will also be a restful soundscape and grounding aromatherapy too.  All of the stuff that brings you back to yourself. This is yoga self-care for everyone.

The benefits of these sessions:

~ You'll leave feeling more space, ease and freedom in your body and your mind.

~ You'll sleep better and feel less frazzled. 

~ You'll be less stressed, as the practices move you into the relaxation response

~ You'll be supporting your health & wellbeing

This is your opportunity book some self-care into your diary. To take some real time for yourself. When did you last do that?

Join me for a little haven of rest and peacefulness, a cocoon of calm and cosyiness to help resource ourselves. Where you can slow down, honour what needs your attention and give some much needed loving care back to your body, your mind and your soul.

​Befriend yourself, treat yourself in a kind and compassionate way - the way you'd treat a good friend. Becuase YOU are a valuable human being.
