“Summer is a celebration of the Earth’s incredible bounty!
“Summer is a festival of this inner fire/power, the power that makes abundance and nourishment grow from tiny seeds. The power that brings things to fulfillment, and expands and brightens our lives, that makes good things come from seed ideas and plans. The warmth of the sun and the long, hot days continually remind us of how good it is to find a balance between intense activity and lazy, idle hours doing nothing.
“Summer teaches us patience. The fruit is green until it’s ripe and you just can’t rush it. Something of the slow, sure rhythm of the time will enter into us if we let it; no, we can’t hurry things, but if we just relax and let go, things will reach their fullness without effort or ego’s striving on our part
Heart Drum seamlessly blends the gentle practice of Yin Yoga with the rhythmic heartbeat of an opening circle of drumming, culminating in the ultimate relaxation of Yoga Nidra.
The gentle nature of Yin Yoga in "Heart Drum" is a meditative journey through slow-paced, deeply held poses, targeting the connective tissues of the body. It allows for an exquisite release of physical and emotional tension. The class begins with a rhythmic pulse that synchronises your breath, mind, and body, fostering a sense of unity and focus.
The culmination of "Heart Drum" is the transformative practice of Yoga Nidra, often referred to as yogic sleep. This guided meditation induces a state of deep relaxation and conscious awareness, akin to a dreamless sleep, allowing you to access the deeper layers of your consciousness. The benefits of Yoga Nidra are manifold, including reduced stress, improved sleep, enhanced creativity, and a heightened sense of self-awareness.
"Heart Drum" is a journey that not only nurtures your body but also nourishes your soul, offering a beautiful space to find solace and inner strength through the power of gentle Yin Yoga and the profound effects of Yoga Nidra. Join us on this exquisite voyage towards self-discovery and renewal, and let your heart drum in harmony with your true self.
