Our Gong Baths combine the soothing sounds of the Gong with astrological seasons to enhance their effects based on the zodiac signs' qualities and energies. These sessions can aid in personal growth, healing, and alignment with the energies prevalent during each astrological phase throughout the year.

As you lay down comfortably, the Gong will produce deep, resonant tones and vibrations that envelop the space, creating a unique auditory and sensory experience. The vibrations are believed to interact with the body and mind, promoting relaxation, stress reduction, and a sense of well-being.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): Gong Baths during Scorpio might emphasize transformation, deep healing, and introspection. The gong's vibrations might support releasing emotional blockages, promoting inner strength, and facilitating profound personal growth.

Discover the secrets to Chaturanga Dandasana in this 90-minute workshop. Whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this immersive session is designed to deepen your understanding and refine your technique in this posture.

Chaturanga Dandasana, often referred to as the yoga push-up, is a cornerstone of many yoga asana sequences, yet it can be challenging to execute with good form and control.

In this workshop, you'll embark on a journey to unlock the power and grace of Chaturanga, gaining valuable insights and techniques to enhance your practice.

• The workshop will begin with a thorough warm-up sequence aimed at preparing your body for the demands of Chaturanga.

• You'll then explore the fundamentals of Chaturanga Dandasana, breaking down the posture step by step to understand its biomechanics. 

• Through a series of drills and exercises, you'll strengthen the muscles necessary for Chaturanga, cultivating the stability and control needed to move safely through the posture. You'll also learn variations and modifications to tailor the pose to your individual needs and abilities, empowering you to progress at your own pace.

• Louise will provide detailed demonstrations and hands-on adjustments (if applicable) to help you find your version of this asana.

Whether you're looking to strengthen your upper body, improve your vinyasa flow, or simply refine your Chaturanga, this workshop offers a transformative learning experience for practitioners of all levels.
