Craig’s personalised approach, variety of instruments, and consistent quality make each session truly exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone seeking relaxation and balance.

Gong Bath Meditations alter brain wave patterns from the Beta (waking state) to Theta & Delta (meditative) states. Science teaches that meditative brain frequencies enable us to access our deeper subconscious and superconscious, which are key states for healing.

The gong is one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. Based on ancient wisdom, gongs vibrate at frequencies our body latches on to allowing the mind and body the space to heal itself.



If you are looking to stretch and relax your body, and to soothe and calm the mind, then Yin Yoga is the perfect practice!

A Yin Yoga practice is mostly floor based with passive positions that are held for longer periods of time. The focus is on working the connective tissues of the body: tendons, ligaments and fascia, rather than the muscles. We use props such as bolsters, blocks and blankets to support the body, allowing it to find points of resistance and then to further release.



The aim of Yin Yoga is to increase circulation, joint strength and mobility, and increase the overall flexibility of the body. By encouraging us to find stillness, it allows us to connect with feelings in the physical body, to quieten the mind, let go of tension and relax. An evening of Yin Yoga is the perfect way to unwind at the end of the week.

Instructions

The studio is fully equipped but do feel free to bring extra blankets and mats if you would like

As a society, we often glorify the amount of stress we can handle. It can sometimes feel like we don't have the time or space to love and prioritise ourselves. 

Yet we all know that pushing ourselves too hard, going at too fast a pace, comes at a cost.

What if you were welcomed into a space where we celebrate slowing down and doing things softly instead? 

In a busy world that often feels divided and thriving on chaos, creating more self-love is powerful for letting go of stress, anxiety and fear. 

Disconnect from stressful thoughts and physical tension, in a safe container to meet your deeper emotions, ground yourself and feel like you again. 

This two-hour event features written self-inquiry exercises, group discussion, somatic practices and conscious connected breathwork. From Rebecca Ryder, The Loud Quiet founder and fully qualified facilitator. 

Connect with the breath, let go of what weighs you down, find joy in community and receive conscious support.

How many of us begin our yoga practice with an opening Mantra; but do we know what it means? Maybe we attend regular counted classes, but we aren’t sure why Sanskrit numbers matter!

Perhaps you aren't taking a regular yoga practice but have an interest in chanting ,or the beautiful sound of chanting, or would like to take a journey into the Sanskrit Language and would like to understand more.

Join us on-line for this tailored, engaging and highly interactive session looking at the transformative qualities in this sacred and beautiful language.

The session will provide context on the evolution of the Sanskrit language, why its important, and the healing properties contained within it, as well as looking at why we chant sacred texts, and how the Sadhana of chanting can transform our minds, and ultimately ourselves.

A Sound Bath is a deeply-immersive, full body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite gentle yet powerful therapeutic and restorative processes to nurture your mind and body.

We are excited to invite you to join Yvette and Tim in practice.

Yoga Sangha is our home, we like to practice there ourselves when we can, we usually catch up to do this once a month.

We are throwing our doors open and sharing our practice space once a month and would love you to join us. We open for 1 hour 30. 8.30 until 10am. arrive anytime, we just have to be finished by 10

There is no cost - this is completly FREE.

We have an amazing Ashtanga community here at Yoga Sangha and this is our way of giving back to everyone that has been so supportive as we have embarked on our mission to grow Ashtanga in Manchester and beyond, and allow new Ashtangi's to come along and see what all the fuss is about without any commitment - although once you have been to the studio, I am sure you will want to join one of the many classes we have.

THIS IS NOT A CLASS - this is FREE use of our amazing studio for you to practice. Although this is an ashtanga practice, when you arrive on the day it's really up to you what you want to do. Savasana all the way is perfect !!!

There will be no adjustments, or teaching points, but you will be with your like minded friends on the mat, breathing together, and inhaling the amazing positive energy that the space brings.

So, come down to meet your fellow Ashtangi's, we move together, we breath together, we smile together

And afterward, im sure there will be some of us going for coffee and brunch

Please do book so we know to expect you and we can make sure the door is open.
