Naomi & Orlando welcome you to experience a day of self love & connection: harmonising body, mind & spirit and elevating your bliss.

What is Prana Kriya Yoga?

This is unique Yoga class, with a carefully choreographed Kriya practices, affecting all systems of the body - from the the physical body to the most subtle energies of the mind and emotions. You may find this practice challenging but it will leave you feeling balanced, grounded and content within yourself.

Kriya means, action or effort. It is a practice sustained for a period of time and includes a specific physical movement, a focus for the mind, a mudra, a specific breathing pattern and a ‘primordial’ sound - which can often be loud.

Sustained practice of PKY, will shift your mental attitude, strengthen your body, improve your breath capacity, focus and inner strength.

What is Yoga nidra?

Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation, also known as yogic sleep or effortless relaxation and practiced lying down. It guides you to a state of deep relaxation so that the body can rest and repair.

What is a Sound Bath?

Minimal effort required, for maximum results. Simply recline, bathing in the deeply therapeutic and delightful sacred sound vibrations that will help promote healing, happiness and vitality. You will listen to the ethereal tones of our crystal bowls, handmade Tibetan Singing Bowls - including 7 Chakra  bowls, the Chinese Wind Gong, vocal toning, shamanic drum, tingshas, koshi bells and more.....The different frequencies activate different aspects of our subtle body and the Sympathetic Nervous System - the Relaxation, Rest & Repair Response - and open up a plethora of positive physical, mental, emotional & energetic health benefits.
