Craft, Yoga and Sound Bath Retreats

Take a break from the daily demands of your life, detox from the busy and noisy digital world, slow down, release stress, calm your body and mind, and reconnect with yourself. Learn how to support your well-being using various tools introduced during the themed restorative yoga and sound bath afternoon retreats for women.

What is a themed retreat?

It's a crafting activity, restorative yoga and sound bath session centred around a specific well-being topic, concept, or intention. A different theme is selected for each retreat.

The afternoon will start with a brief introduction to the theme, followed by a mindful craft activity designed to help you disconnect from the outside world, start reconnecting with yourself, and awakening your senses. The next part will be a yoga practice incorporating gentle, slow movements and longer-held postures with the use of props to help you find comfort and support, as you soothe your body, mind and emotions. You'll also be guided through breathing and meditation techniques to allow you to settle, quieten the chattering busy mind and find peace. To conclude, you will be bathed in the sounds of deeply restoring singing bowls, a gong and other instruments.

You're invited to join me for a complimentary herbal tea afterwards and an opportunity to learn about the sound bath instruments, including your own hands-on experience of playing them.

What is a sound bath?

Crystal sound bath is a form of meditation that uses the soothing notes and vibrations of crystal singing bowls and other instruments to promote deep relaxation of the body and mind and help balance the energy for optimum well-being.

The next session 'Spring Renewal: A Nourishing Retreat for Relaxation and Growth' will be on 16 March from 14:00 to 17:00.

As the seasons shift and new beginnings emerge, take a gentle pause to nourish your body, mind, and spirit. This three-hour women’s retreat invites you to embrace the energy of growth through creativity, movement, and deep relaxation.

Connect with your inner renewal as you decorate a plant pot and plant seeds, explore restorative yoga poses to open up to change, and surrender to the soothing sounds and vibrations of a sound bath to boost your energy for the journey into the spring.

Held just before the Spring Equinox, this retreat is a sacred space to reset, reflect, and welcome the season of transformation with openness and ease
