Yoga & Sound Therapy with Andy

Yoga & Sound Therapy

The combination of yoga and sound therapy can offer a deeply relaxing and restorative experience. Gentle movement, mindful stretching and the calming sounds of chakra-related bowls and instruments come together to create a practice that encourages you to slow down, reconnect with your body and quieten the mind.

The yoga practice is gentle, but not without challenge. We begin with a series of poses to warm and prepare the body, before moving into postures that can be adapted to suit different levels of experience. Beginners can access the practice comfortably, while more experienced yogis can explore the poses more deeply and take their stretches further. In this way, the practice is progressive, allowing you to work at a level that feels right for you.

Blocks, bolsters and other props may be used to support the body and help you find greater comfort and ease. The yoga practice will last approximately 40 minutes.

The Sound Bath

After the yoga, we move into a sound bath. There is very little preparation needed - the most important thing is simply to make yourself comfortable.

You are welcome to use blankets, bolsters and blocks, and to bring extra layers of clothing if you tend to feel cold. During the sound bath, you are free to move or change position whenever you need to. There is no need to remain completely still; simply listen to what your body is asking for.

The sound bath is an immersive experience lasting around 40 minutes. As the sounds surround you, you may find yourself entering a deeply relaxed state. Some people drift off to sleep, while others remain quietly aware of their surroundings. Whatever happens is perfectly fine - there is no right or wrong way to experience it.

Coming Back to the World

When the sound bath finishes, we take our time. There is no need to rush to sit up or get moving. We allow the body and mind a little space to awaken and readjust to the world around us.

You are very welcome to remain on your mat for as long as you need before getting up and continuing with your evening.

Hopefully, you will leave feeling deeply relaxed, grounded and restored.
