Join Paula Hines and Patricia Carlota for an evening of deep relaxation for both body and mind.

A Gong Bath is a form of Sound Healing where the Gong and other related instruments are played to induce wellbeing. Participants are invited to lie down comfortably on a yoga mat, close their eyes, relax and be cocooned in a sonic immersion. The practice provides a space to re-generate, re-nourish, and re-set your whole being – mind, body, emotions, soul, and energy field

Yin Yoga is a deep, meditative practice that activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Physically the focus is on moving deeper into the connective tissues of the body in areas such as the hips and spine and typically involves holding poses for three to five minutes. This will prepare the body for a calming Yoga Nidra (‘yogic sleep’) practice – a guided meditation that will bring you to the edge of sleep, quietening the mind, reducing tension and promoting deep relaxation – ready for a blissful Gong Bath.

Please wear loose comfortable clothing as well as extra layers to ensure you will be warm enough (e.g. socks, an extra top). There are bolsters, blankets and eye pillows at the studio but please feel free to bring any extra items along for your own comfort (e.g. a cushion or pillow). As a large proportion of this workshop involves lying down, the body temperature can drop and your comfort is of the utmost importance.

Please note – This workshop is not recommended to pregnant students. Contact the studio if you:

  • Suffer from a sound sensitive condition, epilepsy or are undergoing a major treatment
  • Have a pacemaker
  • Have any particular need and are not sure if the sessions are suitable for you.
