Yoga Nidra is the deepest of all Resting Meditations. Intertwined with sacred and ancient knowledge and western interpretation it is now known as an evidence based practice for high stress states including PTSD and other trauma conditions.
Yoga Nidra, like Restorative yoga, practiced regularly mediates stress reactivity, i.e., reduces stress hormones, improves glucose sensitivity, and improves heart rate variability. In general, Yoga Nidra quiets pain sensitivity; improves emotional regulation; relieves anxiety and fear; improves attention; and perhaps most wonderfully develops our capacity for contentment and joy.”
Sound Healing with Kathryn Riding
We will be joined by Kathryn Riding for a magical deep journey into sound healing and Mantra .
Kathryn will weave her magic as we rest deeply and journey inwards

Heart & Soul of Wellness Retreat Centre
“You haven't a clue how much it changed my life the day I left my last retreat. I had never done anything like it before, let alone completely by myself. You are so kind and nurturing and beautiful and I felt so welcomed and important. And I actually was able to completely disconnect and be with my heart I've lost touch with my daily practices of slowing down as of late, can't wait to reset and get my mojo back”
