Rest Club – yoga & gong evening
Join us for an evening practice dedicated to relieving stress, slowing down and soothing the nervous system.

How often do we slow down and give into the craving to move slowly, to rest deeply? It can often feel like there is so much to do; so much activity, too many thoughts in our heads to contend with. Many of us often feel exhausted, frazzled, that we need true, uninterrupted rest.

This special evening practice is dedicated to giving into that craving. To pause. Really, truly rest. Maybe even sleep.

We’ll explore some restorative yoga, a grounding meditation to connect with the energy of the evening, before a gong bath.

A gong bath is a a powerful form of sound healing that encourages deep rest and relaxation through the meditative qualities of sound.

Expect to lie down comfortably, with blankets, pillows and bolster cushions, as you are bathed in the soothing vibrations of sound. Sessions are calming for the nervous system, as the waves of sound from the gongs move through your body, helping to dissipate tension, stress and overwhelm.

We will meet in the picturesque surroundings of The Sanctuary, nestled in beautiful countryside just outside of central Chelmsford.

 This is a true opportunity to stop. To take a break from all the doing, the planning, the overseeing, and simply be.

Rest takes practice. It allows us to move into a place where we can repair, we can make space and perhaps come away with a thirst for more that we actively carve out time in our everyday from then on.

Think very relaxing, restorative yoga. Moving slowly, meditatively, in like-minded community.

This retreat is suitable for all. Props are provided.

You will be very welcome to stay for a nourishing cup of tea and sweet treat after our practice.

The Sanctuary at Retreat Farm, Little Baddow, is nestled in beautiful countryside just outside of Chelmsford centre.
