YIN & SOUND WORKSHOP WITH AMANDA
DATE: Sunday, October 4th 2026
TIME: 3PM - 5PM
INVESTMENT: $45+gst
An invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect.

We’ll begin with a gentle Yin practice using longer-held, supported postures to explore the body in a slower, more intentional way. With time and space in each posture, we’ll bring awareness to the deeper tissues of the body, exploring sensation and creating space to support mobility and ease.

Sound is woven throughout the Yin practice, offering an anchor for presence as you settle into each shape and turn your awareness inward. Sound has been used in many traditions for thousands of years as a way to support presence and connection. Through the vibrations and frequencies of various instruments, it becomes another way to connect with the body, settle the mind, and explore your inner world.

We’ll then transition into a guided meditation and calming sound bath, allowing you to simply settle, receive, and deeply relax.

No previous experience necessary. This workshop is non-heated, however the room does feel warm from previous classes.
