Yoga Nidra – Group
& 1:1 Sessions
Beautiful, dreamy, restful & nourishing Yoga Nidra – the Yoga of sleep. This is a deep meditation and relaxation practice, taking us to the healing liminal space between wakefulness & sleeping – deeply healing, profound & transformational. Yoga Nidra take us to a place of deep rest, akin to getting four hours of sleep in around 15 - 30 minutes and can be practiced any time of day when you feel that you need to restore and renew your energy.
Yoga Nidra is a journey of awareness through the body, sometimes with guided visualisations, with beautiful sound journeys and can be co-created with the receiver so that you can design your own Nidra to help with specific conditions, issues or needs in that moment. It’s very much like being read a bedtime story and feels like you’re being tucked in and nurtured, allowing for total relaxation and radiant rest.
Sessions are performed lying down but you can be seated if you prefer – they are an addition to all my Yoga classes, and I also offer group sessions in person or online or 1:1 sessions.
These sessions are wonderful for those who would like to experience deeper rest, better sleep, deep relaxation and support for recovery, rehabilitation, and overall health & wellbeing.
Restorative Yoga
This is the ‘Queen’ of Yoga – a gentle, mindful and deeply relaxing practice where we use only a handful of restful postures to ‘melt’ into – using props such as chairs, blankets, eye pillows, bolsters and blocks to fully support your body, to enable you to softly relax in a gently held and supported way. This allows some space and time to release deep tension held in body and mind, whilst taking the opportunity to rest, soothe and repair and giving you the opportunity to just ‘be.’ We work with the breath as a tool to enable deeper release, to quiet and still the mind and to bring healing, harmony and balance. As you rest, I may bathe you in soothing sounds, perhaps read a beautiful poem or, facilitate a space of peace and quiet to invite in stillness to your day.
We close our session with a Yoga Nidra, Meditation or Guided Visualisation to seal our practice – ending with little piece of ‘Heaven on Earth’ – you are sure to leave feeling renewed, restored and revitalised – pure bliss! This is a deeply nourishing and transformative practice – suitable for all levels and abilities.
These sessions are for those looking for a deeper, more meditative practice, those seeking rest, self-inquiry, better sleep, a way to manage pain or chronic conditions or a space to relax and just be 😊 It is ideal for those recovering from illness or injury or may be looking for a way to support their physical and mental health - this is a place for you to receive nourishment, healing and support in a beautifully held space.
I offer group classes, 1:1 and private classes in person or online.

Meditation & Mindfulness
Classes/Courses
Whilst meditation & mindfulness is a feature in all my classes and courses, I run group & 1:1 sessions exploring, in-depth, a range of techniques from different traditions around the world, including our own co-created techniques, to facilitate a space of sanctuary, peace, reflection & self-inquiry. We will explore techniques to help bring stillness & quiet to our minds & to bring rest & healing to our bodies…what is in the mind often manifests in the body and so meditation & mindfulness practices work beyond the mind…it moves into our outer world too – if we can find peace in the mind, we can find peace anywhere!
These are gently guided and permissive sessions, all are welcome! You are free to practice in a chair or seated/lying on the floor so please bring a blanket and cushion if you want to make yourself comfortable, I do have some available in the space if needed. You are very welcome to share your own meditations with the group and there will be opportunity for us to explore our own co-created meditations too. We will explore techniques such as body scan, breath focus, object focus, metta meditation, yoga nidra, zazen, movement, sound, mantra, guided, silent and more…to enable us to explore and find what works best for you, so that you can feel the benefits in your daily life.
Our space is warm, cosy, and ideal for a deeply relaxing and inspiring practice. Teas & treats will be available throughout.
I offer group classes, 1:1 and private classes in person or online.
