RETURNING HOME:
Join Mary-Lou for a relaxing and restorative Sunday afternoon, 2-hour session of Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra. This workshop embraces the theme Returning Home. Linking with the fifth element, Earth, in Traditional Chinese Medicine and the season of late summer, we will cultivate the energy of a homecoming; to Mother Earth and to Self. The focus will be a sense of gathering in as we build reserves to deeply nourish the body and soul. Expect held poses, acupuncture points, intention-setting, and a deeply restful and rejuvenating Yogic Sleep.
We will begin the session with some gentle Yin Yoga poses to release held tension and concentrate on the zones of the body associated with the Stomach & Spleen energy channels. There will be a focus on the root chakra energy, of rest, and of HOMECOMING to SELF.
The second part of the workshop will be a Restorative Yoga Nidra or YOGIC SLEEP. Known to be one of the most beneficial and healing states in the whole of meditation and yoga. You be be gently guided into progressively deeper brainwave states to the liminal space just before sleep. Here, you will be invited to reside in the radiance of Nidra. This is the hypnogogic state and is different from hypnosis since suggestion will not be planted. The practitioner is invited to gently bathe in the space where the more subtle layers of the energetic body might be held, soothed, and healed. A deeply restorative practice to regroup, recharge, and deeply rest.
INVESTMENT: £30 or £25.50 for Luna Wave Members

Mary-Louise is the Founder of Egyptian Goddess Yoga, an approach to yoga which incorporates Egyptian Goddess Myth into her sequences. Following publication of a feature article in YOGA Magazine in August 2020 (Yin/Yang and an Egyptian Goddess), Mary-Louise, has developed a way to weave ancient Egyptian goddess myth into her Yin as well as Yin Yang sequences. Mary-Louise's students have expressed huge enthusiasm for the inclusion of this ancient wisdom in her classes as well as working 1:1. Mary-Louise invites you to find out for yourself what new meanings & messages these myths hold for you, from the perspective of your own yoga mat!
