Immerse yourself in profound relaxation and meditation with iRest Yoga Nidra during this 3-hour workshop dedicated to exploring Sankalpa. Sankalpa is rooted in Sanskrit: ‘san’ meaning “born from the heart”, and ‘kalpa’ denoting our intrinsic heartfelt essence. In this one-off special workshop:
Discover an Inner Resource which offers support, ease and resilience no matter the outer circumstances of your life
Enquire into your deepest, heartfelt wishes for your life
Rest deeply within the quiet ease of being
This workshop will be a combination of discussion, with lots of time to practice and experience iRest Yoga Nidra.

This course, led by studio owner, Kara Sweney, is designed for absolute beginners to yoga, who may never have stepped foot on a yoga mat, or into a studio before.

The course aims to introduce you to a studio environment, the terminology, tools and the fundamentals of the practice of Yoga - basic postures and movement and the importance of breath. We want to "break the ice" on Yoga for you and equip you with the knowledge and some confidence to join the classes on our timetable.

SOUL CONNECTION
As our world faces more unrest, the importance for maintaining a strong embodied Soul Connection grows. This time, with the help of cacao, sound vibration, our ancestral guides and meditation, we set out to 'firm up' the connection with our Soul so that day to day we can see and act from that innate higher perspective. A state of being where we exist naturally in a frequency of love, forgiveness and strength, and where without fear or worry, we can now see the bigger picture.

JUNE 10th | LIGHTEN UP
Our changing world is going through a heavy stage that for many, is making life feel quite fearful and negative. This ceremony is to help us lighten up; to release some of the personal ‘stuff’ that weighs us down and to bring us into a more positive and neutral focus. Come relax into a meditative voyage receiving guidance from Mayan ceremonial cacao as we use gentle breathwork, guided meditation and shamanic sound vibration to go deep within to access the love and wisdom that will help shift us into a lighter, brighter state of being.
Ceremonial-grade cacao is quite unlike the powered version bought in-store. The difference being that because it’s raw (uncooked) none of the goodness has been removed making it a pure, alive whole food with the activating properties that make it a transformational medicine, intact. Prepared with sacred intention, ceremonial cacao is a powerful initiator for opening the heart and releasing that which no longer serves us. Here it’s combined with kundalini activation breath work, along with the immersive vibrations of the Sun Gong and shamanic instruments, and a guided meditation into a visualised volcano where your spirit guides are waiting to help you to heal, receive and transform.
Empower yourself to be the happiest, strongest, and healthiest human you can be.
