Yin Yoga & Gong: An Evening of Deep Surrender

You’re warmly invited to a soul-soothing evening designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and unwind. This special session blends the gentle, restorative postures of Yin Yoga with Kara of Yogara, and the deeply meditative resonance of Gong sound healing with Lydia of Creatively Curious Therapy.

What to Expect:

A calming Yin Yoga practice to cultivate stillness, flexibility, and inner balance.

An immersive Gong bath, soothing your senses in therapeutic vibrations to release tension and invite stillness.

A nourishing close with herbal teas and small snacks to gently guide you back into the present moment.

What to Bring:

A yoga mat, water, cosy layers, cushions or pillows, and anything that helps you feel comfortable and supported during the event.

Gong baths can be enjoyed both by laying on the floor or sitting on something. If laying on the floor your yoga mat will still be fine, but you may want to bring something extra to lay down on. You will be on the floor for around 45 minutes, so think comfort. Some prefer an airbed, a folding recliner or sun lounger for this reason. If you would prefer to sit, standard chairs will be available, but for a potentially more comfortable experience you are welcome to bring along a camping chair. Please do let Lydia know if further consideration is needed to enable you to fully participate in the gong bath section. Your comfort is important.

Important notice

Taking part in gong baths is generally considered safe for most people, regardless of age or fitness level. However, considerations should be taken for the following people:

• Mental health conditions - People with severe mental health conditions, such as paranoid schizophrenia, severe personality disorder, or psychosis, should not participate in gong baths. If you have PTSD or trauma that may need to be considered, please also make contact so that we can discuss any further support needed.

• Pregnancy - Individuals who are pregnant in the first trimester should not participate in gong baths. Caution should also be taken during other trimesters as studies have not been undertaken on pregnant women. If you are pregnant and want to participate, please talk with a healthcare professional to make sure they’re a safe option for you and then let me know of any considerations that need to be followed.

• Epilepsy or seizures - People with epilepsy or a history of seizures should not participate in gong baths.

• Hearing impairments - People with hearing impairments may still be able to participate in a gong bath, but the experience may not be comfortable. Caution should be taken with tinnitus. However, by sitting further away from the Gongs and wearing ear plugs, the vibrations may still be felt and the experience enjoyed. It is advised that hearing aids are removed as the higher pitched tones can interfere.

• Sensitivity to sound - People who are sensitive to sound including individuals with Ménière’s disease may experience discomfort or agitation during a gong bath. Caution is advised. Please talk with a healthcare professional to make sure they’re a safe option for you and then let me know of any considerations that need to be followed.

• Metal implants - Caution should be taken by people with metal devices in their body, such as a pacemaker, coronary shunt, artificial heart valves, or metal pins or staples as discomfort may be experienced. It is recommended that it be a minimum of 12 weeks post surgery and that if you are concerned or are unsure whether you should attend that medical advice be sought. During a group Gong session, the vibrations are not directed at specific body locations and so the impact will be indirect, however discomfort could still be experienced. It is recommended to sit further away from the Gongs initially.

Ultimately, individuals should listen to their bodies and consult with their healthcare provider if they have any concerns or underlying health condition before participating in a Gong bath.
