Rest is one of the most underrated tools we have for health and wellbeing. Deep, nourishing rest is fundamental to living a long healthy life, it is the bedrock of wellness (pun intended!).

Rest can help us restore energy, replenish our body, process our thoughts, memories & emotions, reset our nervous system and improve our immune system. If you’re suffering from burnout, lack of motivation or stress, if you are seeking restorative practices or on a path of healing, this workshop is for you!

The Resting Ceremony is inspired by "Nidra" or "yogic sleep" and aims to be restorative, meditative, and intuitive. In this ritual you are guided into mindful, conscious relaxation, enabling a deep rest and reset for your mind, body and soul.

The workshop may lead to changes in brain waves, similar to deep sleep, or moments of REM sleep. Participants are generally awake but in a state of consciousness between sleep and waking known as hypnagogia. Hypnagogia has been used for centuries as a tool for meditation and self-exploration.

“Your Sacred Stilness workshop was so nourishing, it was spacious and nurturing. You are such an intuitive and confident space holder. My favourite bit was probably the nidra itself, but to be honest it was all lovely. I'd quite like to spend a bit longer in the 'pool'/'water' visualisation. I liked how you draw from traditional nidra but make it your own.”

“Grace's class was deeply nourishing. I didn't realise how much I needed it until the deep rest took over. I felt safe, cared for, and rejuvenated. Thank you for a very special class.”

“I had a great session of nidra yoga with Grace. It was my first time and wasn't sure what to expect but Grace guided me in with real gentle ease ... I would highly recommend any of Grace's holistic workshops, she's a dedicated practitioner and I'm sure many will gain a lot from what she does.”

“Nidra yoga with Grace was exactly what I needed to reset my nervous system and relax deeply! Her enchanting voice took me on an incredible journey with my own body and I left her studio feeling serene and at peace. The space is filled with beautiful art, which added some magic to the experience. I loved letting my gaze wander around the room and be touched by so much beauty. At the end, we shared around a warm cup of tea, which helped me integrate the beautiful session. I highly recommend this class and will go again!”
