About the event
Invest some time in personal restoration with our upcoming event, "The Deep Rest." Spanning over 2.5 hours, this session is crafted to facilitate a profound connection with your tranquil inner self. Engage in practices scientifically recognized for reducing stress and enhancing well-being, such as Yin yoga, mindful somatic exercises, and targeted breathwork aimed at calming your mind and reducing cortisol levels.
These carefully chosen activities are known not only for their immediate relaxing effects but also for their long-term benefits in mental health, including increased resilience to stress and improved mood regulation. The session concludes with sound healing during Savasana, providing a beautifully resonant environment that promotes deep mental and physical restoration.
Our schedule is designed to ensure an immersive experience:
 **4:00-4:30 PM:** Mindful Somatic and Breathwork Techniques
 **4:30-6:00 PM:** Yin Yoga Session
 **6:00-6:30 PM:** Savasana accompanied by Sound Healing
Practices like somatic yoga, breath work, yin yoga, and sound healing offer a variety of benefits for both physical and mental health. Here’s a closer look at each practice and its specific benefits:
Somatic Yoga:
   - **Mind-Body Connection:** Somatic yoga helps in fostering a deeper awareness between the body and mind. It uses gentle movements to reeducate the nervous system and muscles, helping to release tension and reduce pain.
   - **Improves Flexibility and Mobility:** By focusing on the internal experience of movement rather than external appearance or performance, somatic yoga can lead to increased flexibility and range of motion.
   - **Stress Reduction:** The practice encourages relaxation and can help in managing stress by focusing on bodily sensations and movements that promote calmness.
Breath Work:
   - **Lowers Stress Levels:** Controlled breathing exercises can dramatically reduce levels of cortisol, the body's stress hormone, promoting relaxation and stress relief.
   - **Improves Respiratory and Cardiovascular Function:** Regular breath work can enhance lung capacity and circulation, as well as stabilize blood pressure.
   - **Enhances Mental Clarity:** By increasing the oxygen flow to the brain, breath work can clear the mind, improve concentration, and boost cognitive performance.
Yin Yoga:
   - **Deepens Relaxation:** Yin yoga’s slower pace and longer-held poses help cultivate a meditative state, promoting deep relaxation and peace.
   - **Increases Circulation and Improves Flexibility:** This form of yoga gently stresses the connective tissues (ligaments, tendons, and fascia), improving circulation and flexibility while strengthening joint health.
   - **Encourages Self-Reflection:** The meditative aspect of yin yoga provides a chance to explore inner silence and mindfulness, aiding in emotional healing and mindfulness.
 Sound Healing:
   - **Promotes Deep Meditation:** Sounds generated by instruments like Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and chimes trigger the brain's theta waves, promoting deeper meditative and peaceful states.
   - **Reduces Stress and Anxiety:** Similar to breath work, sound healing can lower cortisol levels and enhance a state of calm throughout the body.
   - **Balances Emotional Well-being:** The vibrations of sound healing help to release emotional blockages and promote emotional resilience.
Together, these practices offer a comprehensive approach to wellness, harmoniously improving physical health, mental clarity, emotional resilience, and spiritual well-being. Incorporating them into regular wellness routines can be transformative, supporting a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
