A feast for the senses. Take time to nourish your body and revive your mind though guided aroma, movement, taste, rest and healing touch. Join Marianne Swift - an experienced psychotherapist, hypnotherapist and trauma-sensitive yoga facilitator, along with Ellen from AmberLuna Apothecary - Ellen is an experienced medical herbalist and aromatherapist- as we guide you through a nourishing afternoon of being held and allowing your senses to go on a restorative, nourishing journey.... WHAT TO EXPECT During this 3 hour mini-retreat, you'll cosy up with plenty of blankets, bolsters and yoga mats in Montpellier-based yoga studio, YogaSara. You'll have the space to support your wellbeing through aromatherapy, blending and tasting fresh, cleansing spring herbal teas, and nourish and connect with the body and mind through nurturing, gentle yoga. Ellen will guide you through creating an aromatherapy blend to support you through spring, as well as a bespoke organic tea blend - both of which you’ll be able to take home. You’ll then receive some more deeply restorative yoga practice with Marianne along with hands-on aromatherapy massage with Ellen and finally, you’ll sink deep into rest with a guided Yoga Nidra relaxation with Marianne. Yoga nidra translates to mean "yogic sleep", otherwise known as deep, effortless rest. YOU SHOULD KNOW Participants are encouraged to bring anything that makes them cosy and comfortable.
