Melt into Stillness: a Yin & Yoga Nidra Journey
Welcome to a deeply nourishing practice designed to soothe the nervous system and restore harmony to body, mind, and spirit. This offering is intended to run monthly, creating a regular space for deep rest and renewal—but don’t miss out on this first one, as places are limited and each session is uniquely crafted.

Yin Yoga invites us to slow down and soften. With gentle, intentional postures held for several minutes, we work with the fascia—the intricate web of connective tissue that supports and surrounds every part of us—creating space for deep release and a freer flow of energy. Supported by props such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks, this practice offers a grounding, nurturing experience. There is no striving here—only the invitation to let go.

We begin with simple movements, mindful breathwork, and grounding Yin postures to help the body unwind and the breath guide us inward. As part of the journey, we may explore gentle self-massage of marma points—vital energy centers—inviting a release of tension and a return to inner calm. The soft, resonant tones of Tibetan singing bowls may accompany the practice, offering vibrational healing that gently washes through the subtle body.

The experience flows naturally into Yoga Nidra, a deeply restful guided meditation often called “yogic sleep.” In this state of profound relaxation, the body is completely at ease while the mind is guided beyond thoughts, beyond roles, beyond effort. Here, in the quiet spaciousness of awareness, we remember our true nature—peaceful, whole, and deeply held.

Come as you are. This is your invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect with the sanctuary within.

If this resonates with you — or someone you love — I warmly welcome you to join. 💛
Booking is now open on the website, and you can use the same class credits or passes as you do for my other offerings, including Gentle and Hatha Yoga. https://yoga-4-living.com/yoga-schedule/

We’ll gather on Thursday 19 June, from 7:30 to 8:30 pm for an hour of deep rest and inner nourishment.

✨ Traditional Hatha Yoga Returns to Highton – Tuesday Evenings ✨
Tuesdays | 6–7 PM | Highton | Girls Guide Hall

I’m delighted to announce the return of Traditional Hatha Yoga on Tuesday evenings in Highton! After a beautiful couple of months of exploring Sacred Shakti Yoga, we now return to the grounding, heart-opening rhythms of classical Hatha – a practice that welcomes every-body and all levels of experience.
These nourishing sessions offer a gentle yet profound approach to Hatha Yoga, weaving together:

🌿 Asana (postures) and gentle flows
🌬️ Pranayama (breathwork) to expand and redirect life-force
💫 Mudra and bandha (energetic seals and circuits)
🔥 Kriyas (cleansing practices)
🕉️ Deeply restorative meditations like Yoga Nidra

With breath as our guide, lets return to the wisdom of the body and the quiet voice of the sacred self – held in a space of compassion, presence, and reverence.
Come as you are. Reconnect. Be nourished.

Bookings or questions? Reach out anytime – I’d love to welcome you.
