Sound/Gong Bath
Mar

6:00 pm18:00

Sound/Gong Bath

Sound/Gong baths offer spa-like sessions aimed at helping us to relax and restore. One of the greatest benefits is relief from stress and anxiety.

We can find ourselves holding onto negative energy from present or past experiences and this can lead to a feeling of heaviness in our hearts. A sound bath will allow you to let go of all that and return to a state of calm and well-being. There is a lot of research that shows the physical and psychological benefits of sound therapy including calming the body and mind, increasing focus and clarity, decreasing tension and fatigue, improving sleep and giving you more energy.

After a session, you can expect to feel an overall sense of relaxation, uplifted and inspired as you connect with your own positive energy. This will set you up to start your week feeling fantastic, relaxed and blissful.

The studio is fully equipped with mats, blankets and cushions but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

Please note Sound/Gong baths are NOT suitable for women in the first 3 months of pregnancy, if you have a pacemaker or unstable epilepsy

Move for joy & connection

Move for joy & connection

  • Cafe Root & Well-being Studio (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Moving for Joy and Connection

This class will be a perfect antidote to the midweek slump and re-energise you for the weekend. We will focus on moving in improvised ways that free up tensions and stuck emotions while completely forgetting we are also getting some exercise!

This class allows you to move as quietly and slowly or as loudly and largely as you need. We will work in circles, pairs, and small groups, using a variety of musical styles. The group is capped at 8 members.

We will tap into the sense of community and connection moving together brings while using varied movement qualities, rhythm, metaphor, and reflection to enhance our connection to ourselves and others. No formal movement improvisation or dance experience is expected.

This class will be suitable for those who:

  • want to experience the joy of moving with others in a group where skill is not in focus

  • want a rhythmic experience of feeling in “unison with others” while also having the opportunity to have one’s uniqueness valued and celebrated

  • seek connection with others in a way that doesn’t rely on talking

  • are curious to explore improvised movement 

Please do get in touch with any questions or concerns.

Sound/Gong Bath
Oct

6:00 pm18:00

Sound/Gong Bath

Sound/Gong baths offer spa-like sessions aimed at helping us to relax and restore. One of the greatest benefits is relief from stress and anxiety.

We can find ourselves holding onto negative energy from present or past experiences and this can lead to a feeling of heaviness in our hearts. A sound bath will allow you to let go of all that and return to a state of calm and well-being. There is a lot of research that shows the physical and psychological benefits of sound therapy including calming the body and mind, increasing focus and clarity, decreasing tension and fatigue, improving sleep and giving you more energy.

After a session, you can expect to feel an overall sense of relaxation, uplifted and inspired as you connect with your own positive energy. This will set you up to start your week feeling fantastic, relaxed and blissful.

The studio is fully equipped with mats, blankets and cushions but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

Please note Sound/Gong baths are NOT suitable for women in the first 3 months of pregnancy, if you have a pacemaker or unstable epilepsy
