Wolf Full Moon - Cacao + Sound with Kate Fleur
Saturday 22 January | 6-7pm | £25* | Catford Studio
Join us for this special Wolf Full Moon ritual hosted by the beautiful Kate Fleur.
The power of sound healing is an effective and proven modality that uses vibrational frequencies to enable us to drop into a meditative state and allow the possibility of clearing, cleansing and balancing on a deep cellular level. Everything in creation has a frequency. Each thought and feeling, every part of our bodies, every atom reaching out to the furthest galaxies and when these vibrations are in harmony we can experience peace and natural transcendence.
Raw Cacao is the Earth’s natural medicine that allows us to connect to something personally within ourselves. It’s a powerful and potent medicine that can assist the ‘inner work’ and creative guidance we all need to stay balanced. It literally opens the blood vessels in the body allowing more blood flow through the heart, it is known to trigger bliss hormones, feelings of love, and a heightened awareness that can be a powerful support to sound baths and healing. This anicient & powerful plant helps us to navigate our path back to our true essence.
Kate creates a journey using quartz crystal bowls and her voice which thread together and unify in their own soul song.As you open up to deep rest and peace there can be an experience of emotional release, visuals and messages that can be received. It is a passive place for you to just get comfortable and allow the frequencies to move through you. All components are held within a sacred space designed to give you alignment to your true nature, to stimulate the body’s healing abilities, to tap in to higher consciousness and create a transcendent journey for the spirit.
Open to all levels. *£25 per person or £40 for pair booking
If booking for two, please email support@yogahouselondon.co.uk

Pincha Mayurasana Workshop with Kasia Blackwell
Saturday 5 February | 2-4pm | £20 | Lee Studio
A two hour workshop covering how to prepare and strengthen the body for PINCHA MAYURASANA aka Feathered Peacock or Forearm Balance Pose, how to safely enter, exit and transition in and out of the asana. We will cover biomechanics of the pose – which parts of your body need flexibility and which ones require strength, and look at these areas:
How to come up?
How to hold the position
How to overcome the fear of falling
What are the progressions after the standard pincha?
The forearm stand is a great intermediate step between a headstand and a freestanding handstand. Pincha Mayurasana is great for strengthening your arms and shoulders while also stretching your neck, chest, abdomen and back. It’s a fun, but challenging pose and this worksop will give you some useful tips and exercises to work on.
Workshops are a great way to take your practice further and play with some more challenging poses, also suitable for those attending for the first time. Trust in your body, you’re capable of more than you think.
Valentine's Gong Bath Sound Sanctuary and Guided Meditation with Alicia Davies
Saturday 12 February | 6-7.30pm | £25* | Catford Studio
Spend the most magically Valentine’s at this beautiful Workshop.
“The Gong is the spirit song. It is the primal whisper of the soul. Its sound is the echo of the Original Word that created the world, the sound within all sounds. Listen with outer and inner ears. Feel its pulsations and let the millions of vibrations dance and flow through your senses. You will become fearless, relaxed and awakened. “ Yogi Bhajan
A Gong Bath is a profoundly relaxing experience. Washed by waves of sound, the body, mind and spirit enter a state of cohesion, while the vibrations of the powerful Planet Gongs and other healing instruments cause the cells to resonate sympathetically. It’s a fast track to deep meditation, perfect for quieting the busy mind, and stimulating for the body’s innate healing abilities.
If it is the first time you’ve tried the experience, the power of a Gong Bath – sometimes known as sound massage – maybe something of a surprise. The sounds of the gong vary dramatically from the quietest whisper to a primal roar; a wall of sound that resonates everything it touches, including the particles that make up our physical bodies. The Gong’s frequencies are cleansing and purifying, detoxing, relaxing, and stimulating, depending on the state in which you arrive for your session. All that is required of you is to turn up, lie down, and chill out.
The Gong Bath/ and guided meditation sessions are run by Alicia Davies, a practising professional musician, artist and writer who was drawn to sound healing after experiencing some major life traumas of her own. She is firmly of the belief, as Edgar Cayce once said, that ‘Sound will be the future of medicine.’ Alicia completed her advanced Gong Practitioner training with Mark Swan, who trained under Don Conreaux, Grand Gong Master and the originator of the Gong Bath practice.
Gong Bathing with guided meditation is relaxing but also powerful work, so please make sure to read the advice notice below before attending.
Open to all levels. *£25 per person or £40 for pair booking

IMPORTANT:
Gong Baths and guided meditations are normally safe for all. However, Gong Bathing is not advised for those who are in the first or third trimester of pregnancy, have a pacemaker, or who suffer from Menieres syndrome, have a history of psychotic episodes, or who experience epileptic seizures in the state between sleeping and waking. This is because the effect of the sound vibrations and the guided meditation can act as a trigger. You are responsible for consulting your medical practitioner before attending if you have any concerns regarding your mental or physical health, and for disclosing any such conditions before the event begins. Hush Hour cannot be held responsible for any unexpected or unwanted effects that may arise as a result of taking part in a session of Guided Meditation and/or Gong Bath.
