YIN Song Workshop
This magical Yin Song Workshop is a 2 hour integrated journey of live music, cacao blessing, and sound bath; weaving restorative postures and meditation into these healing vibrations of sound.
Suitable for all ages, bodies and requires no previous experience with yoga. Outline is as follows:
- 15 minute cacao blessing with 3 separate intentions, with breath into the cacao and sip after each breath.
- 50 minute yin gentle practise. During this time Live Loops are made with the loop station. Each posture is held for approximately 5 minutes which allows Chris to create beautiful soundscapes for each asana.
- Finally, we arrive at 40 min savasana, where you receive a sound bath. The sound is a mixture of created loops and acoustic instruments that Chris walks around and “bathes” people in. Didgeridoo, medicine drum, flutes, chimes, voice is used while Iselin comes around to offer lite touch and aroma of her handmade oils.
Sonic Ceremony Alchemy
This is a nurturing, heart centring and peace cultivating two hour experience It consist of three elements: Tea Ceremony, Yoga Nidra & Sound Bath
The first element is the tea ceremony. We is sit in noble silence as we enjoy Iselin's blend of Green Tea's from China. We move slow, sip our tea mindfully and enjoy the taste, smell and warmth. A time to reflect and muse.
Our second element is Yoga Nidra. Iselin will guide us through "Yogic Sleep" for 30 minutes. The body is sleeping but the mind remains awake. 30 minutes of Nidra is equivalent to 2 hours of deep sleep.
Our third and closing element is a Sound Bath. Chris uses an array our acoustic instruments combined with looped and recorded soundscapes to create a fully immersive sound bath experience.Yidaki (didgeridoo), Drums, Flutes, Chimes, Bowls and Voice are woven in ways that evoke emotion, and, a sense of peace.
The Sound Bath compliments and enhances the elements of the Tea Ceremony and Yoga Nidra.
PLEASE NOTE:
** if you would like to stay for both sessions, you are welcome to walk the property and bring your own lunch for the picnic or reception area.
***healthy lunch available upon request for extra fee $30
