Sound Baths at YogaSpace Yorkshire with Mike

Sunday 6th November @ 5pm

Friday 2nd December. @ 6.30pm

Mike writes

” A sense of peace, a sense of tranquillity. A feeling of deep relaxation, restoration and rebalance. This will be our goal through the therapeutic application of sound in our next group relaxation sound bath at Yogaspace Yorkshire.

We’ll begin with the warm, gently lulling, nurturing sounds of the Himalayan singing bowls, gradually building into the peaks, troughs, and more physical vibrations of the sun gong before the pure tones of the crystal bowls provide an emotionally expansive, tranquil space. Finally, percussion is used to encourage the listener back into a waking state.

The instruments will be used in a very specific way to induce an altered state of consciousness, to enter into a predominant brainwave state of alpha (a meditative, quietly flowing state of rest) and theta (a ‘twilight’, dream-like state associated with imagery, memory, and intuition) space where profound relaxation and healing is possible. Research has shown that time spent in these states can improve our well-being in a number of ways, including the dissolution or reduction of worrying thoughts and anxieties; reduced physical tension; reduced heart and breath rate, and a sense of calm, lightness, and peace.”

Please bring any favorite comfort props (a cushion for your head?) to use – you will be lying on a studio floor for 60 minutes. We do have studio props we use too.

Gong therapy is not suitable for anyone pregnant.

An hour of magic – sound, and breathwork to heal and restore your nervous system.

These sessions will begin with breathwork led by Jade who is a YSY teacher and runs Yorkshire Breath School.

Emma will play the gongs in the second half of the hour.

We will start sitting so that we can do some movement with breathwork and transition down to the mat (you may remain seated) for the gong bath.

Jade will guide us through breathwork for the first half of this session and it includes some gentle movement so we will start sitting up. Breathwork grows our awareness that we are conscious of this world by means of our body and we learn to have a ‘relationship’ with our breath.

The gong is the basic creative sound. Out of the gong comes all music, all sounds, all words, nothing can compare, we need do nothing but relax and trust and allow the gong to work its magic on our body’s biorhythms, and energetic cellular components and cleanse our minds.

Your comfort
You can either lie down for the gong or sit up, (we have some chairs if needed) and we will have props out for you to use if you need them. (sheepskins, bolsters, blankets, blocks).

Come wearing comfy warm(ish) clothes and arrive 15 minutes before the start of each session – we start prompt at 5pm.

Tickets are non-refundable or transferable to another date.

You can contact us if you have a substitute able body to take your place.

Please be considerate about the current flu/cold/covid climate we live in and not attend if you feel unwell or knowingly have a virus so that we create as safe a container for the sound and breathwork as we possibly can.

You can buy your ticket online here by searching for the calendar date that you wish to attend.

Spiritual Pharmacy Meet up 9th March 2023 @ 6.30pm

*New users/attendees to YSY will need to create a username and password to book here – and agree to studio T&C. Exploring the Spiritual Perspective

As many of you have discovered – Emma’s kundalini yoga classes offer you a profound awareness of how much more you are than a mere body. You are consciousness harnessed to flesh via breath.

Join me and my guest for our first Spiritual Pharmacy session where I invite my friend and kundalini yoga participant Allanah Bourne-Arton, who is a holistic life coach (www.allanahbournearton.co.uk). During this gathering we will be exploring the spiritual perspective of life and what it means to be human.

This will not be a yoga class.

The evening will open with a fireside guided meditation to open the space in one of our beautiful yoga studios, followed by heart opening yogi teas, over interactive discussion on the spiritual perspective of life. We will share some insightful ancient wisdoms which may contribute to your growth and help you to live your best life.   There will be Q and A – so that together we can explore any life questions you may be wrestling with from a spiritual perspective.

We will close the session with a short soul soothing gong sound bath.

All welcome. You may like to bring a notebook and pen.  Please note: If you are pregnant we do not recommend joining the gong at this precious time for you, but all other aspects of the evening are suitable for all and chairs are available in the yoga studio for anyone who is not comfortable on the floor.

Shape Your Personal Vision For 2025 Retreat Day At YogaSpace Yorkshire

Being is Becoming.

Saturday 11th January 2025 @YogaSpace Yorkshire near Bedale, North Yorkshire
Arrive from 9.30am, first session 10am – event ends 5pm

When we enter a fresh 365 days at New Year we enter a space and time of opportunity.
How rewarding could life be? To reach the end of December 2025 having the whole experience of those twelve months  ‘being into becoming.’

New Year is an interesting time, a liminal space where we can be present with ourselves after the Festive period. We crawl inside ourselves using the dark (womb-like) energy of early January’s short days and rebirth ourselves towards the lighter longer days that arrive from the Equinox. The perfect time for an exploration into ‘being is becoming.’

This workshop might allow you time to ask how comfortable you are with your current life and engage with tools and modalities that allow you to become a driver of your life. Might you dare to take agency for yourself, behind a steering wheel of your own directions? Make 2025 the year of 365 days where you explore with courage, the route of your heart’s desire, no longer a passenger allowing life ‘to come at you.’

This one-day retreat will be a time for workshopping the idea of change; we are living beings made of energy, our cells are constantly evolving in our physical body. What we do today we become tomorrow in our body, our physical actions, even what we eat. Equally  important is how we live in our own mind.

This workshop retreat day will be led by Emma Ropner and Lorna Garrity.

Emma is an experienced mature Kundalini yoga teacher specialising in philosophical and empowering yoga classes sharing esoteric teachings through yoga series that nourish and nurture you. She explores numbers from a spiritual perspective, alongside working with various meditations, breath work, chants and gong sound.

Lorna is a (Tony) Robbins-Madanes trained coach with 15 years experience in the corporate transformation area.  She now guides clients towards their power to thrive, closing the gap between where they are, and where they want to be. Lorna is also an author, and a speaker at events.

Emma and Lorna will weave a day-retreat itinerary allowing you to consider and shape a personal vision for 2025 and reflect on your 2025 realistic goal priorities

You can expect

Transformational Yoga session: A powerful but accessible for all, energy-moving yoga session with breath work followed by a gong relaxation. Ancient yogic teachings say that the pranic energy created at the navel is infinitely superior to the pranic energy we collect at the mind/intellect.

Directional Tools and Modalities: for eg: Goal Priorities with Lorna

Significance of Numbers: Exploring 2025 guidance for mind body and spirit through this year’s numbers 2-0-2-5 with Emma

An exploration into Feminine Archetypes: with Lorna

We will also work with Fire.

The day includes a light lunch and all refreshments.

Parking is on-site. We can provide yoga mats.

After booking the schedule will be sent two weeks before the retreat date on 11th January 2025

Full Price: £145 after 11.59 on 30th November 2024

Early Bird: £130 up until 11.59 30 November 2024 thereafter full price.

Emma is a certified Kundalini yoga teacher, her main training is from The Karam Kriya school and her shorter additional certified yoga trainings are by other Kundalini yoga qualified teacher trainers, other YA teachers, some UK and some USA and Emma also works with a qualified spiritual supervisor with over 40 years experience.

Emma believes that you can explore soulful and yogic practices via teachers only ‘to allow yourself alone’ to become your greatest healer. Teachers intend to only lead you to the door

The day seeks/intends to provide you peace, space and time in a world that is fast-paced, and also full of ‘healing works offered with large promises about healing you.’ The intention for this day is to focus instead, on self-compassion and kindness and allowing the guide within you to birth its light
