Following the incredible response to our Festive Slowdown evenings *(both of which sold out in less than a week!)* we couldn’t be more delighted to be coming together once more to continue this offering - **a two-hour sanctuary of rest**, away from the hustle + bustle of it all. 

Throughout January and February we remain in **deep winter** here in the UK, and we want to offer you a space to allow yourself to **soften into it**.

The first half of the evening will be led by Eva, ([@omwitheva](https://www.instagram.com/omwitheva/)) who will guide you into rest through **a slow and gentle sequence of movements**, keeping you seated or lying down for the whole flow. This isn’t yoga that will feel like a workout, this is yoga that will hopefully feel like a whole body softening. Eva specialises in teaching slow, gentle and intentional movements, connecting you to your breath and to your body. A sequence of movements and stretches that not only **aims to ease your aches and pains, and help you release any held tension**, but also aims to create a space within that to allows the mind to quieten.

There will then be a short comfort break, a chance to nip to the loo, stretch your legs, etc., and the offering of a cup of herbal tea if you fancy it!

For your second half of the evening, you will be led even **deeper into rest** by Michelle ([@serene_souls_wellbeing](https://www.instagram.com/serene_souls_wellbeing)), who will guide you through a journey of gentle breath work, meditation, and deeply restorative alchemy crystal bowl sound healing.  Michelle creates **a cocoon of frequency, vibration, and stillness** designed to soothe the nervous system and support emotional, energetic, and physical harmony. Throughout the session, you will be immersed in the healing sounds of Alchemy Crystal Bowls, who's pure tones create harmonic frequencies that **promote deep states of relaxation** + healing, and improve focus + mindfulness. Alongside vibrations of the Chau Gong, a sacred instrument, known for its deep grounding frequencies, supporting **energetic clearing, emotional release, and nervous system regulation**.

You’re invited to come just as you are - messy, tired, stressed. It’s all human, and it’s all welcome here. This class emphasises the practice of noticing how things feel in your body, noticing if your mind wanders, and practising being okay with it all. Using the breath as an anchor.
