BRISTOL - Soulful Yoga & Handpan: Journey through meditation, movement & sound

Join us for an immersive evening of meditation, movement and relaxation accompanied by the enchanting rhythm of a live handpan.

After grounding in meditation, we will move through a vinyasa yoga flow designed to invigorate and open the body, with soothing rhythms of a live handpan played throughout. The movements will dance between strength and softness, or “Sthira '' and “Sukha,” which are core principles of inner harmony, as outlined in Pantajali’s Yoga Sutras. 

The session will end with a yoga nidra. Otherwise referred to as “yogic sleep,” this is a guided relaxation practice to bring you to a state of tranquillity. 

This workshop is suitable for all levels, whether you’re a well-practiced yogi or new to the practice. 

Please bring your own yoga mats.
