With Chai Francesco

To book this session, please email www.chaisoundhealing.com

This one-of-a-kind workshop, hosted by the Maestro practitioner Chai Francesco, invites participants to escape the relentless glow of screens and immerse themselves in a world of healing vibrations and self-discovery.

The session is divided into two parts. The first is 30 minutes of flow movements, body-tapping, and vocal toning, followed by essential self-healing exercises.

The second part consists of a 60-minute Sound Bath. Chai will perform a unique fusion of live sounds and relaxing guided meditations. He will guide you on a profound journey within yourself.

The overarching goal of Sensory Awakening is to counteract technology’s numbing effects on our physical and emotional health. It acknowledges the need for individuals to reclaim their sense of self in the face of an increasingly digitalized world.

Participants are led through a carefully curated series of exercises to help them better understand their own emotions. Sensory Awakening aims to create space for these emotions to be expressed: It represents a return to the self.

Using doable methods and gentle exercises, participants in this sound healing session explore the principles of self-healing, gaining the confidence to apply these practices to their everyday lives. To ensure that participants depart with a toolkit of abilities they can quickly integrate into their everyday routines, the focus is on accessibility and simplicity.

Instruments:

Quarts and metal singing bowls, Gong, tuning forks, Shamanic drums, chimes, voice.

Benefits of Sound Healing include:

Improved mood, sense of calm, tranquillity and relaxation. Relief from stress or anxiety as well as from physical pain, ailments, or tension in the body. Improved mental focus or clarity of thought.

Immerse yourself in the practice of somatic yoga and sound bath and be guided into a state of peace and harmony. Every part of us has its own healthy frequency, when we are at the optimal health.

Stress, negative thinking and emotions, overwhelmed and invasive noise can bring us out of tune creating a sense of disharmony.

Sound healing uses healing frequencies to shift us back into balance and harmony, through sympathetic resonance where one vibrating object causes another nearby object to vibrate at the same frequency creating harmony.

There is a resonance between crystal bowls and human cells due to the crystalline structure of the human body. Great effect can occur on physical, emotional and cellular level.

​During the session we embrace imperfection having time and space for listening subtle sensations using somatic approach before entering in the sound experience.

Somatic yoga is a practice of self awareness independent from any specific body shape and connected with the principles of elements and chakras. It gives the time and space to feel subtle sensations. Allows to be more fluid and unfold what needed in the moment.

​Slowing down to feel and refining awareness into little small movements, relationship with your breath and inner experience.

Relax, surrender and feel safe with no judgment. Embrace all moves and sounds as part of the journey and remember louder is not better, quicker is not better.

The healing happens in the space between the sounds.

Some benefits:

Soothing effect in the somatic nervous system, unwinding patterns in the body from stress, encourage the lymphatic flow that support immunity, create slide and glide loosing adhesions and stimulating responsiveness, coming back to whole, balance and harmony.

with Cath Greenwood, £20/£12

Combining mindful attention and gentle movement Feldenkrais uses the brain’s plasticity to stimulate better posture, coordination, breathing and flexibility so that we can move with greater ease and comfort.

This workshop will take you through a series of gentle but dynamic movements that bring awareness to your habitual ways of moving and help you sense and organize yourself to reduce pain and improve your mobility, balance and power.

The class follow the same sequence but the emphasis is on listening to yourself, noticing and clarifying how you respond, moving at your own pace and within your range of comfort. There are many rests and the mindful quality of a lesson helps create the best conditions for integration and learning.

Many find classes deeply relaxing and feel more connected, grounded, energised and with improved posture and movement at the end of a session.

Suitable for all – those with experience or those who want to try Feldenkrais for the first time, people come for a wide range of reasons:

• Fluid, easy movement at every age

Saturday, May 24th,  13:00-16:00, £45, £40, £55, £30

Each session will explore a new theme supporting your journey of self-discovery, self-empowerment, self-liberation and self-care.

Combining Conscious connected breathwork, embodiment exercises, self enquiry and meditation, we meet ourselves with deep presence and compassion, tuning into the body’s innate wisdom to heal and evolve, allowing emotions to flow and the body to move.

As we move through life and the challenges which life presents, we often disconnect from the physical body and connection to self by ‘checking out’. Through everyday distractions such as devices, shopping, television, social media, food and addictive habits we avoid and escape from our deepest longing – to meet ourselves completely. We may also experience dissociation and fragmentation which can occur through unprocessed emotions and traumatic events, leaving us feeling numb, dissatisfied and disconnected from our physical/emotional/spiritual self. This can also manifest as chronic pain, illness, depression anxiety, and unhealthy behavioural and relationship patterns.

In these workshops, Natalie will guide you on a journey of movement, supportive exercises, felt sense meditation and conscious connected breathing to encourage the opening of your body as you truly show up to meet all the parts of yourself which have been yearning to be met. Truly, deeply coming home to yourself.

This style of conscious connected breathwork is led from a trauma sensitive perspective and is intended to work intelligently with your nervous system without overwhelm.

During this workshop you may experience any of the following: involuntary physical sensations, emotional and physical release, deeper connection to your body, a deep sense of relaxation, mental clarity, spiritual connection, enhanced breathing capacity and self compassion.

Deepen your practice through four Yogabliss workshops

Join Kanwal for a series of 4 workshops on Sunday mornings to unpack and deep dive into energising twists, heart-opening backbends, centring balances and calming forward bends.  Each 2-hour workshop will break down common yoga asana postures with an exploration of the physical and energetic benefits, giving you a chance to work slowly and deeply into the pose in a light-hearted way. Every workshop will include meditation, pranayama (breathwork), dynamic strength-building hatha yoga postures as well as longer-held yin postures, yoga philosophy, a long relaxation and chai and chat afterwards

Whether you’re a curious beginner to yoga, a more practised yogi/ni wanting a refresher, or just wanting more space for questions and assistance, this workshop is for you. Refine your practice by expanding your understanding of common postures and improving your overall yoga experience.

Join for a workshop or 2 or even the full course!

Energising Twists for Back Health
Sunday 18 May, 10am-12pm, ZenYoga Camberwell

 Twists help us to rotate the spine and stretch the muscles of the back restoring the spine’s natural range of motion. Through a series of twists, we will lengthen the torso along the spine, allowing our energy to flow more easily giving us an energy boost and spring in our step while we safely decompress the vertebrae.

Centring balances to enhance focus and resilience
Sunday 13 July, 10am-12pm, ZenYoga Camberwell

Balancing postures improves core strength, and tone connective tissue and builds stability in the joints. Through a combination of floor and standing balances, we will ground towards the earth and lengthen towards the summer sun, improving spatial awareness, as well as our mental and emotional focus and steadiness.

Heart Opening Backbends for improved breath
Sunday 14 September, 10am-12pm, ZenYoga Camberwell

Backbends open the chest and shoulders promoting better posture, circulation and respiratory function, particularly important given our tendency to slouch over devices. As well as strengthening the spine, improving flexibility and mobility, backbends improve focus, relieve restlessness and open our heart to new possibilities as we move towards the cooler winds of autumn.

Calming forward bends to relieve stress and tension
Sunday 23 November, 10am-12pm, ZenYoga Camberwell

Forward bends lengthen and create space in the spine and improve mobility in the hips. As we move towards the quiet stillness of winter, the inward nature of these postures encourages introspection, taking stock and a deeper connection between body and mind.
