BRIDGING HEAVEN & EARTH

THROUGH CRYSTAL CHAKRA

BALANCING MEDITATION

with Vicky Averkiou, energy intuitive healer, integrative therapist in psychology & trauma

Sunday (date TBC)

12pm - 3pm

 

Do you find it difficult to integrate your spiritual world with your day to day world? Is spirituality an escape from your life rather than a way of life?
Does it feel spirituality is something you fit into your schedule?

Would you like it to become an embodied, lived experience?

​

In this 3 hour crystal chakra balancing meditation, you will discover the benefits of having a balanced earth star and soul star chakras and how they fit in with the seven main chakra system and can balance heaven and earth in your own life. The earth star chakra is located below our feet and connects us with the crystalline grid of Mother Earth. The soul star chakra is located above

our heads and connects us with the wisdom of our souls.

RELAX & RESTORE

IN TOTAL BLISS

Join Dara Loughrey and Martine Aharonson (Acupuncture Collective) 

Friday (date TBC)

7pm - 9pm

 

Sound soak the cells with the vibrations of the crystal singing bowls, heal the tissues with acupuncture and restore the body with restorative yoga. Lets embrace the autumn season and the element of metal with Lungs & large intestine. It’s power is balance & it’s virtue is justice.

 

The sound bowls are beautifully tuned and played by the healing hands of Dara, whilst the tiny hair thin needles are applied by the expert hands of Martine. The Acupuncture and sound bowls will be continuously interwoven whilst in your restorative yoga poses for the duration of the 2 hour class. Both modalities will massage the cells, align and clean your body’s energy, allowing you to go into a deeper form of mediation, giving your mind, body and soul the rejuvenation it needs - this will allow you to let go of stress, tightness and calm the nervous system; bringing relaxation and restoration to your body, so you can balance your daily activities with deep rest and nourishment.

Alignment in the yoga practice is an important part of shaping our body into the asana. The asana is the sanskrit word meaning seat. Alignment helps us to understand and sit in the seat of the asana, diving deep into understanding how we inhibit our patterns and so assists can assist.

This 3 hour masterclass is aimed at continuing education, body awareness, alignment for students who would like to improve their own asana yoga practice and for teachers wanting to gain more knowledge and feel more comfortable giving assists through alignment of poses. We will focus on some core dynamic asana poses, working with props, assists and how to get the best experience

when working with aged, injured, tight, flexible and tired bodies; covering practical, theory, question / answers.
