Friday 26th April 7.00 - 8.30pm

Part of our Feel Good Friday Wellness Workshops, this session will take participants on a blissful journey through some deeply releasing Yin yoga poses and on to a relaxing and rejuvenating Yoga Nidra ("sleep of the yogis").

The yin part of the session involve longer held physical poses with plenty of use of props and personally tailored options, with restorative poses and gentle movement between the longer held poses. This provides an overall experience of calm, cool yin energy (rather than heat-generating, faster moving yang energy), allowing the fascia (connective tissues wrapping our organs and muscles) to release.

The nidra part of the session is not a physical practice; participants will find a comfortable place to rest - again props are always encouraged to help you find stillness - then we allow the body to completely rest while the mind follows the nidra technique into an effortless state of complete "non-doing". 

The two practices together encourage a deep exploration of not only the body, with deep release found in the stretches, but also a deep exploration of where the mind goes, when left to its own devices or when led through the layers of consciousness to a state of bliss......

No previous yoga or yoga nidra experience needed. All are welcome.

A fresh and insightful workshop, encompassing the ancient healing art of Thai massage in practice.

​

"We are so excited that Emma is joining us at Space to Move to run this workshop. I participated in Emma's workshop myself in 2023 ... such a wholesome, healing, nourishing, learning experience not to missed" Jules Laville 

​

Join us for a one day intro into

Thai Massage - 

 

A wonderful complimentary treatment which combines passive yoga stretching, compression & mobilisation techniques to improve flexibility, circulation and overall well being throughout the body.

​

Thai Massage is an ancient body work which combines rhythmical compression along the ‘sen’ (energy lines), passive stretching and breathing techniques to encourage the release of congestion, adhesions and stagnancy in the muscles, soft tissue of the body. By releasing tension in the body we can increase the flow of ‘lom’ (movement of fluids in the body) improving blood circulation, lymph & neural function and aid the removal of waste and toxins more effectively from the body.

​

Throughout the day we will dive into the basic principles of Thai Massage;  sometimes referred to as assisted Yoga and learn and practice some basic techniques and sequences.

​

Thai massage is focused on improving the flow of energy throughout the body. For both giver and receiver. 

​

A wholesome and healing pratice. 

​

The workshop costs: £70 or £130 for 2.

Find total rest and relaxation as we explore the use of yoga nidra to find peace and maybe make changes in our lives.
You may be seeking a short escape from the stress of modern living or maybe have a desire to sleep better, cope with anxiety or change the learnt automated responses of a lifetime. Yoga nidra can supply the tools to not only relax but also to reprogram ourselves to shed deeply ingrained patterns of behaviour. So whatever draws you, there will be some nidra magic here for you.

​

We start with some scene setting and thoughts to take with us into the nidra and beyond, and then we will enjoy a 40-ish minute yoga nidra practice, leaving you fully rested and restored. ​​
​​
PLEASE NOTE:
This is not a physical practice. No previous yoga or yoga nidra experience needed. All are welcome.

 
​Why not try it and find the magic...

Yoga nidra is a technique designed to effortlessly guide you into a state of complete "non-doing". Your body is completely relaxed and you can rest in a space where you may enter a state of expanded awareness and deep relaxation. It is a kind of horizontal meditation hovering on the threshold of sleep, giving you a conscious way to rest, leaving you nourished and restored at an incredibly deep level. Due to the type of brain waves experienced in nidra, it is said that a nidra may be equivalent to up to 4 hours of sleep. This restorative practice can be applied in many different ways, and in these sessions we explore its use for making positive change in our lives. Whatever you want to get out of it, this regenerative meditative state helps benefit both body and mind, restoring and nourishing, for greater mental and emotional balance and resilience. 

​

You can attend a single session, or even better join our regulars who come to these monthly sessions for a fuller understanding and deepening practice. Yoga Nidra Workshop passes are available so you get three sessions for less. 

Choose to join in the studio or live online - please check you are correctly booking either the studio workshop or the LIVE ONLINE session to get the Zoom link.

In this workshop we’ll playing with sound as a way to bring more softness to ourselves.

Body Temple Dance is a free-form, emotional, and energetic movement practice created by Adriana Rizzolo. Everything we perceive about ourselves and the world comes from the state of our nervous system, yet none of us were taught how to work with this. In Body Temple Dance, we learn to work with our nervous system, and grow our capacity to for receiving pleasure, through a weaving of trauma-informed foundations based on nervous system education and traditional Tantric energy healing for self-healing and integration. 

Carly will guide you through breathing practices, playful exercises with our voices, and a combination of gentle and energetic movement to music as you explore different ways sounds can support us in finding more softness within. For the final part of the practice, we practice surrendering - Carly will guide a meditation leading into an immersive sound healing journey with singing bowls, gong, and other instruments, to encourage you into a space of deep rest where you can connect to your inner wisdom and integrate your experience of the evening. 

There will be space for journaling, sharing and connection before we close.

Mindful Movement for Chronic Pain

 

with Mary-Ella from KernowYoga.

​

Chronic Pain is pain that lasts longer than 3 months. This can be exhausting, frustrating, debilitating and depressing. Mary-Ella’s own experience of chronic back problems, lasting several years, has led to the development of this class.

After attending a Pain Management Course in Plymouth, she formed a strong bond with the people on her course. She designed movement sessions exclusively for them, hosted at Space to Move, which began to help and support them with their day-to-day suffering.

Mary-Ella and the group would now like these sessions to be available for others to benefit. You can benefit from the following aspects -

• Quiet meditation helps to bring the mind to stillness, learning to accept any sensations that exist. Turning your attention inwards, you can begin to be more present in the moment, lessening thoughts of the past or projections into the future. Connection with the breath helps to channel/broaden your focus, lower the heart rate, and subsequently calm your nervous system.

 

• Gentle movement, linked with the breath, allows a stronger mind and body connection to develop. It helps to relieve muscle tension and joint pain, giving you more mobility, increased strength, and improved balance. You are encouraged to take whatever position suits you; seated, standing, or lying. Experimenting by switching between positions, to discover which are comfortable for you on that day, is part of a process designed to help you to develop your own practice.

 

• The class concludes with relaxation in which restorative yoga poses are personalised for you for maximum comfort and impact.  A guided visualisation allows the body to rest on a deep level, leaving you feeling nourished.

​

'With a number of disabilities contributing to chronic pain, fatigue and other issues related to those conditions, I arrive at Mary-Ella's sessions wound as tight as a coiled spring. But, both during and after the sessions, I am transformed and return home again feeling totally relaxed. I never once, ever could have envisaged that I would be participating in yoga sessions. But I'm so glad I did...' (Denis)

​

Sliding affordability scale of £13.50-£15 per session (90 minutes)

 

Begin to be part of a community, that understands your issues, and make connections that can help and support you in the short and long term.

A sound bath is a restful experience where the tones and vibrations of therapeutic instruments guide you into a meditative state. Sound is vibratory energy that has the capacity to penetrate all levels of our being; our physical body, energy, thoughts and emotions, and our connection to spirit (that elusive sense of something beyond but also within than ourselves). Healing sounds from bowls, gong and other instruments encourage the mind and body into a deeply relaxed state that can help you process emotions, tune into your intuition and creativity, and activate your body's natural healing abilities.
