Deep Reset - Restore your nervous system with Breathwork, Yoga and Gong bath

As we step into spring, days are longer and energy is on the rise  as everything is sprouting up in the  spur of creation.  However, this time of the year can be challenging for the body as it's transitioning between the seasons after the long grey damp winter. It is easy to overextend yourself, to get overly excited by this rush of energy and forget about regeneration and downtime. Or to feel like you ‘should be doing’ much more, while your body is telling you it is not ready yet. We invite you to a restorative evening of gentle Yoga, cleansing Breathwork and a deeply relaxing Gong bath to release tension from your body and mind, reset your nervous system, activate and nourish your inner being and your connection to yourself.  At our last event we honored the time of  Spring Equinox, when the length of day matches the length of night, and we explored Balance. The balance between activity and rest, doing and being, creating and processing, masculine and feminine, effort and surrender. I found the theme of ‘balance’ very important , the core of our practice, and everything we do in life really. And as we are still in the energy of the spring equinox, I would like to revisit it in April and explore it a bit more. 

• The doors open at 7:00pm so you have time to arrive, chat and settle down, before we start promptly at 7:15pm
• We will slow down, breathe deeply and take time to connect and set our intentions for the evening
• Then we stretch out and land fully into our bodies with a gentle yoga practice, especially designed to nourish your vagus nerve and activate the parasympathetic nervous system - the perfect way to unwind after a long week and switch from ‘doing’ into ‘being’, the regeneration mode where joy and healing are easily accessible  :)
• Followed by breathwork to fully oxygenate our bodies, wash away all the accumulated stress, tension and move any stuck energies. Feel fully alive, tingly, with new calmness and clarity.
• Then it's your time to fully let go and relax, receive the deep rest you so much deserve, while being bathed in the powerful sound of gong. Allow the vibrations to resonate through your body and travel to places that need healing.
• Integration time: we rest in silence before using sounding practice to ground ourselves.

About us:

Zuna (also known as Zuzu) is a bodyworker, yoga teacher, breathwork and meditation facilitator.   At the core of her practice is her holistic approach to health and movement, fascia, embodied presence and her connection to nature. She loves to create group sessions, shorter events or day retreats to take you on a journey of self-discovery, connection and healing. She is based in the woods at the top of St Catherine's valley, where she has her treatment room for massages and 1:1 sessions. You can find more information here

Sue plays the gong to create an environment where there is nothing to be done except bathe in soundwaves and recalibrate. She offers 1:1 sessions in the cabin in the woods in St Catherine's valley, holds groups sessions and, where possible, loves to play for people and nature outside among the trees. In a private session, the gong creates sounds and vibration that your being specifically needs, and therefore can create even deeper, more impactful experience. If you would like to find out more, drop her an email.
