What’s involved in a Sound Bath?

Fully clothed, no water involved! You’re invited to lie out (or sit) in a restful position and simply let Helen’s music wash over you. It’s an ambient immersive experience, usually with eyes closed and an extra blanket/throw/socks for added comfort throughout – it’s maximum 60 minutes in duration, although many experience the time flying!

Who is the yoga suitable for?

You, if you feel like a day’s enriching yoga mini-retreat would do you good. As ever, Faith plans sessions specifically for those attending.

Can my dietary requirements be catered for?

Our flavoursome lunch will be vegan and gluten free (with a cake on the side). Yes, additional dietary requirements can be catered to – please just let me know.

In yoga, autumn is associated with Vata — a quality that feels light, changeable, and unsteady. At this time of year, we may notice ourselves becoming more scattered, restless, or depleted. This day has been thoughtfully curated to offer space to regather, ground, and steady yourself, so you can move into the season feeling nourished and ready for all that autumn brings.

Our gentle yet deep yoga sessions will weave together steadying breathwork, simple mantra, and soft sound to anchor the body and calm the mind. The Viniyoga approach brings a sense of security and openness, supporting you through this time of transition with practices that are accessible, grounding, and quietly transformative.

You’ll also experience an immersive Sound Bath Meditation with experienced facilitator Helen Phillips. With Hand Pans, Hand Drums, Gongs, Tibetan and Crystal Singing Bowls, Chimes, and Native Flute, this sound journey offers a gentle yet meaningful space to settle, release, and connect more deeply with yourself.

You’ll leave feeling more attuned to your whole self, rooted in the rhythm of the season, and with a deeper appreciation of how sound and yoga can support your wellbeing.
