Sea Side Yoga Weekend
2022-02-11 16:00 - 2022-02-13 14:00 UTC | Wales, United Kingdom
Join Andrew in his very special Yoga retreat in beautiful Wales!
From 11th to 13th February 2022

Located near Hells Mouth, welsh name PorthNeigwyl, we will be staying in a lovely cottage overlooking this wonderful 5 mile beach which attracts surfers from all over the world. There is no vehicle access onto the beach itself which makes it totally private. It is a magnificent 5 minutes walk from the cottage to the sea and only 1.5 miles from the centre of Abersoch, which makes the location perfect as we can enjoy all the amenities that the village has to offevr, including coffee shops, restaurants etc, without getting the busyness of the town itself.
We will be practicing yoga in the cozy cottage or, weather permitting, on the patio overlooking the sea or on the beach itself.
More information about the cottage and accommodation:

The cottage is detached and enjoys an acre of garden where weather permitting we can do yoga here overlooking the sea or on the beach itself. It has many original features being over 200 years old in part, and offers cozy accommodation with log fires for the evenings and wonderful views across the sea to Bardsey Island and beyond. The cottage is south facing so enjoys long hours of sunshine with a patio to be enjoyed. Once evening descends there are wonderful opportunities for star gazing when we have a clear sky.
There are two double rooms and one room with two single beds. There are two bathrooms, a cozy living room with fireplace and a large kitchen with dining area as well as a sun room for use throughout the retreat. Spaces are very limited, so if interested please do get in touch and secure your spot as soon as possible!

Gong Bath Meditation

UPCOMING DATES:
February 6th, March 6th, April 3rd, May 8th, June 5th, July 3rd, August 7th – more dates for the rest of the year coming up soon.

Gong Bath Meditation is a practice that aids healing by synchronizing our brain and restoring balance & harmony in our human system. Book via our “Book Now” page. Cost £15 non refundable and non transferable. More information about the Gong Bath:

Water is not involved in a Gong Bath Meditation.

Instead, you are bathed in the sounds and vibrations of gongs, & crystal bowls. It is a sound bath that creates profound relaxation.

Gong Bath Meditations alter brain wave patterns from the Beta (waking state) to Theta & Delta (meditative) states. Science teaches that meditative brain frequencies enable us to access our deeper subconscious and superconscious, which are key states for healing.

Sound healing is not a new fad. The gong is one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. Based on ancient wisdom, gongs vibrate at the same frequency as the body allowing the body to heal itself.

These ideas might sound kind of “woo-woo”, but Sound Energy Healing is a physical phenomenon based on universal physical and biological principles called Sonic entrainment, where rhythmic vibrations of similar frequencies resonate in unison.

The universal principles of sound mean you do not have to believe in Sound Energy Healing or understand it, to benefit from sessions. However, you might be like many people, and want to know what proof exists for energy healing.

Okay, here comes a little Science lesson: The sounds during a gong bath can be used to rebalance our human system. There is a profound effect on our cardiovascular, autonomic, endocrine and immune systems. It is an excellent therapy for stress-related issues, such as depression and anxiety.

What to expect in a group Gong Bath session:

Ideally you will experience the gong bath lying comfortably on your back. You will need to bring along a blanket and a pillow.

All you have to do is lie comfortably and close your eyes and relax. I then begin by playing the gongs very softly, increasing the volume as the session progresses (the volume never gets unbearable as I am playing therapeutically). I change the playing technique frequently so there is no fixed rhythm which results in the brain not being able to follow and entrainment takes place. Entrainment is the changing of brainwave frequencies.

After a continuous 40 minutes of gong playing, I start to wind down and play very gently for five minutes fading away to nothing. I then spend a little time talking you back to awareness.

The gong is an amazing and powerful instrument for healing work; I recommend that you take it easy for the rest of the day to allow the treatment to continue to do its work. I also advise that you drink plenty of water.

Setting the intention or creative visualisation Difference between stress and relaxation short set of exercises to help you relax ready Sound bath with gongs Gentle return to full awareness

Out of respect to all participants and due to the sensitive nature of the work, DOORS CLOSE once a sessions has started there will be no admission:

If you would like to reserve a place, please purchase your ticket early. Gong bath sessions are very popular. We would like to fit everybody in but tickets will be limited to space so we ensure that everybody has enough space to be comfortable and also so that everybody can be looked after.

A few things to bring with you:

• A yoga mat to lie on, a pillow for your head and a blanket as some people might get a bit chilly during the session (we do provide them but feel free to bring your own cosy blanket). We try and make the room as warm as possible for you, but if you feel the cold please make sure you wear plenty of layers and thick socks.

• Please try to be on time so we hope you can be there for the whole session and share this experience together.

• Please bring with you….your honesty, your compassion, your courage and your fears, your dreams and your doubts, your joy and your tears, your sense of humour, your voice if you want, and your unique self.

Deep Mid-Winter Selfcare Workshop
2022-01-16 14:00 - 16:30 | Pure Yoga Cheshire, 29, Charlotte Street,, Macclesfield, England, SK11 6JB, United Kingdom
Yuliya Higham Yoga + YHApothecary

As the days are beginning to get longer, middle of January is the time to slowly start coming out of winter slumber. From Ayurvedic perspective we start to accumulate seasonal imbalances towards the end of season, so dampness and cold winter days can lead to accumulation of mucus, feeling of heaviness, lethargy and even depression, all due to increasing presence of the Earth and Water elements.
This workshop is an invitation to take a few hours just for yourself to deeply ground and reconnect, taking good care of the holy temple of the soul that is your unique and beautiful body.
We will start with a gentle restorative yoga sequence to settle the nervous system down, assist the lymphatic flow and connect to the body and breath.
After a short break with the offering of season-oriented herbal tea and snacks, you will be guided trough self-administered skincare ritual using the product that have been specifically created for the season, based on aromatherapeutic and Ayurvedic principles.
Please wear something loose that you don’t mind getting oily.
Expect to leave feeling glowing, nourished, grounded, rejuvenated and held.
£35 – book via our Book Now page.
Due to the nature of this interactive workshop, we have a very limited amount of spaces. Tickets are non refundable and non transferable.

Saturday 18th of December – from 5.30 to 7 pm – £25
Recharge and replenish your Self with healing vibrations and deep grounding and nourishing yoga postures.
You will be guided through gentle and deep postures which will unlock deep tensions held within the physical, mental and spiritual body. You can also be supported by props like yoga bolsters, blankets, blocks while receiving the healing effects of sound through planetary gongs.
A gong bath is a form of sound therapy where the gong is played in a therapeutic way to bring about healing in the body. It is a very effective way of stimulating the natural good feeling of the body and most often leaves the recipient grounded with an indisputable sense of well-being.
The experience is often likened to ‘being massaged all over’ by those who are sensitive as they feel their skin tingle and deeper sensations as the waves of sound vibrate through the body and trigger a tangible release of tensions. Often during a gong bath, a deep sense of neutrality is felt and nerve rejuvenation is achieved.
The practice of Yin yoga will calm your body and mind and help you receive fully the benefits of the final 30 minutes sound bath, leading to experience feelings of peace and calm. All levels are welcome, this is a gentle and quite deep yoga practice.
Our beautiful room at Pure Yoga will be candle lit… the small flames will give a warm glow to the space and will add to the special calming quality of this exceptional experience.
We do supply mats and some blankets, but please bring anything you might want to have to make your experience even more relaxing, like an extra blanket and a pillow.

Solstice Solace Self-Care Ritual with Yuliya
2021-12-05 14:00 - 16:30 | Pure Yoga Cheshire, 29, Charlotte Street,, Macclesfield, England, SK11 6JB, United Kingdom
Delighted to host talented Yuliya Higham Yoga + YHApothecary again this Winter.
Sunday 5th December from 2 to 4.30 pm – bookings via our Book Now page
The run up to Christmas is a very hectic time – preparing gifts, meals out, family and friends’ get togethers- all beautiful, but also taking an incredible toll on the nervous system, stressing it out and pushing it out of wack. Traditionally though the time around Winter Solstice has been the time to go inward, slow right down and set up body for the long winter hibernation to restore, rest and recharge befor the fertile season ahead. This workshop is an invitation to take a few hours our of your busy schedule and truly dedicate this time to nourish and nurture your nature, refill your own vessel, as from the empty cup you cannot give.
We will start the workshop with a gentle Joint Roll followed by a yin style yoga sequence to warm up the body, reawaken the spirit and get the creative juices flowing freely. We will then discuss how to create a sacred space, untouchable island within your own home, for you to come back to when things become too hectic, festive season or not.
We will then take a short break to sip some restorative herbal tea and snack on season-appropriate treats.
The last hour of the workshop will be dedicated to self-massage techniques, concentrating on face and upper body, using a special grounding blend I have created for the season. Please wear something loose that you don’t mind getting oily.
As a yoga teacher and a skincare specialist I believe that radiance doesn’t come in a pot. However a combination of mindful breath and movement, clean diet and natural beauty products can work wonders, helping us look and feel great.
I started making my own skincare products many years ago because I wanted to make sure that everything I apply externally would literally be good enough to eat, organic when possible, all natural, with minimal to no preservatives at all, using glass containers to reduce plastic waste. All formulations lean into the Ayurvedic principles of addressing seasonality and doshas, using essential oils to make products that work not only for the skin, but also the nervous system. You can visit https://www.facebook.com/YHApothecary to find out more about the range.
The workshop is open to all genders, but might not be suitable for those with extremely sensitive skin or allergies due to essential oils.
Expect to leave feeling glowing, nourished, grounded, rejuvenated and held.

31st October from 2 to 4.30 pm

with Yuliya Higham Yoga + YHApothecary

As the night are drawing in and seasons are changing we gather on the magically dark and bewitching festival of Samhain to practice a holistic approach to skincare as self-care, helping the body prepare for the coming colder months and restore that natural healthy glow by addressing seasonal imbalances and creating rituals to enhance mental and physical well-being.

We will start the workshop by moving the body in a gentle restorative sequence facilitating lymphatic drainage to flush out the toxins, balance and ground. After the physical part of the practice we’ll take a break where some refreshments will be offered to further support the self-care aspect of the workshop. The rest of the time will be dedicated to a guided step-by-step skin-care routine, including cleansing and facial massage techniques, using the products that I have specifically created for this season.

As a yoga teacher and a skincare specialist I believe that radiance doesn’t come in a pot. However a combination of mindful breath and movement, clean diet and natural beauty products can work wonders, helping us look and feel great.

Tuscany Yoga Retreat September 2021
2021-09-09 18:00 - 2021-09-18 18:00 | Casale Pundarika, Località Cordarzingoli, 18, 56046 Riparbella PI, Italy, Riparbella, Pisa, 56046, Italy
Welcome to our late Summer Yoga retreat in beautiful Tuscany
Go deeper into your practice, rejuvenate, relax and connect with nature…

Surrounded by a Mediterranean forest, Casale Pundarika is the special location for our late summer retreat. A typical Tuscan country house ideally set in a magical place 2km from the village of Riparbella on the Maritime Hills a few km from the Tyrrhenian coast. A mixed landscape of woods, olive groves, vineyards and a skilfully-worked countryside reflect the agricultural origins of the town.

The house offers comfortable shared accommodation, ample practice rooms and the possibility to practice yoga outside on the gorgeous terrace, from which the rising sun can be contemplated during our morning practices.

During this retreat we will be practicing mostly outside on the newly built decking which is ideally located under a canopy of native trees, a beautiful setting for this magical time of the year. Sometimes attendees choose to spend the night on the decking as part of their practice – feeling at one with Nature and contemplating the beauty of the magical land (this is optional).

As part of the retreat process we ask to respect each other’s space and sanctity by limiting the use of electronic devices, and honoring the daily periods of silence. Mornings will be silent until 12 o’clock, and there will be one full day of silence where we will ask you to switch off your mobile phone. We understand this might be a unique occurrence in this day and age, but there will be a 24 hour contactable phone number for the retreat centre in case of emergency.

The programme offers:

Meditation and Pranayama early morning
Yoga asana (postures) mid-morning
Afternoon practice
Late evening gatherings on some days.

There will be time for quietly enjoying contemplation and personal time. We will observe silence each morning until lunch time, as well as a full day of silence as part of our practice.

More details on cost and accommodation:

Accommodation: €540 for apartment sharing, €675 for double/twin sharing, € 1080 for single use occupancy (figures are in € currency). Please note this has to be paid to Casale Pundarika directly – bank details have changed from last year so please ask us for the new ones. This includes accommodation, all delicious and locally sourced vegetarian meals (breakfast, lunch and supper) and the use of the heated outdoor bath tub.

Yoga tutoring: Deposit required to secure your spot – £150 non returnable.

It is a magnificent 5 minutes walk from the cottage to the sea and only 1.5 miles from the centre of Abersoch, which makes the location perfect as we can enjoy all the amenities that the village has to offevr, including coffee shops, restaurants etc, without getting the busyness of the town itself.
We will be practicing yoga in the cozy cottage or, weather permitting, on the patio overlooking the sea or on the beach itself.
More information about the cottage and accommodation:

The cottage is detached and enjoys an acre of garden where weather permitting we can do yoga here overlooking the sea or on the beach itself. It has many original features being over 200 years old in part, and offers cozy accommodation with log fires for the evenings and wonderful views across the sea to Bardsey Island and beyond. The cottage is south facing so enjoys long hours of sunshine with a patio to be enjoyed. Once evening descends there are wonderful opportunities for star gazing when we have a clear sky.
There are two double rooms and one room with two single beds. There are two bathrooms, a cozy living room with fireplace and a large kitchen with dining area as well as a sun room for use throughout the retreat. Spaces are very limited, so if interested please do get in touch and secure your spot as soon as possible!

Late Summer Tuscany Yoga Retreat
2020-09-10 - 2020-09-19 | Casale Pundarika, Località Cordarzingoli, 18, 56046 Riparbella PI, Italy, Riparbella, Pisa, 56046, Italy
Welcome to our fourth retreat in beautiful Tuscany, this year extended to 9 days by popular demand.
Go deeper into your practice, rejuvenate, relax and connect with nature…

Surrounded by a Mediterranean forest, Casale Pundarika is the special location for our late summer retreat. A typical Tuscan country house ideally set in a magical place 2km from the village of Riparbella on the Maritime Hills a few km from the Tyrrhenian coast. A mixed landscape of woods, olive groves, vineyards and a skilfully-worked countryside reflect the agricultural origins of the town.

The house offers comfortable shared accommodation, ample practice rooms and the possibility to practice yoga outside on the gorgeous terrace, from which the rising sun can be contemplated during our morning practices.

During this retreat we will be practicing mostly outside on the newly built decking which is ideally located under a canopy of native trees, a beautiful setting for this magical time of the year. Last year some people choose to spend the night on the decking as part of their practice – feeling at one with Nature and contemplating the beauty of the magical land (this is optional).

As part of the retreat process we ask to respect each other’s space and sanctity by limiting the use of electronic devices, and honoring the daily periods of silence. Mornings will be silent until 12 o’clock, and there will be one full day of silence where we will ask you to switch off your mobile phone. We understand this might be a unique occurrence in this day and age, but there will be a 24 hour contactable phone number for the retreat centre in case of emergency.

The programme offers:

Meditation and Pranayama early morning (one hour approx)
Yoga asana (postures) mid-morning (one and half hour)
Afternoon practice – Question and Answers followed by Yoga postures and Pranayama (one and half hour)
Late evening gatherings on some days.

There will be time for quietly enjoying contemplation and personal time. We will observe silence each morning until lunch time, as well as a full day of silence as part of our practice.

More details on cost and accommodation:

Accommodation: €540 for apartment sharing, €675 for double/twin sharing, € 1080 for single use occupancy (figures are in € currency). Please note this has to be paid to Casale Pundarika directly – bank details available. This includes accommodation, all delicious and locally sourced vegetarian meals (breakfast, lunch and supper) and the use of the heated outdoor bath tub.

Yoga tutoring: £ 425 for the 9 days – 3 to 5 yoga sessions per day with one afternoon free. Deposit required to secure your spot – £150 non returnable.

The nearer airport is Pisa – flights from Manchester and other major UK airport are excellent and can be booked well in advance. Transport from and to the airport can be arranged.

Numbers are strictly limited, so bookings are confirmed with a (non returnable) deposit of £150 with the balance to be paid by 1 st of September 2020. Cheques made to Pure Yoga Cheshire, bank transfer, Pay Pal or cash are all accepted.

Gong Bath Meditation Summer 2021
2020-04-05 16:24 | England
Gong Bath Meditation is a practice that aids healing by synchronising our brain and restoring balance & harmony in our human system.
Please arrive a few minutes earlier to settle as we will start on time, door locks at 5.30 pm sharp.
Bookings only via our Timetable on the “Book Now” page. Cost £15, non refundable and on transferable

No, water is not involved in a Gong Bath Meditation.

Instead, you are bathed in the sounds and vibrations of gongs, & crystal bowls. It is a sound bath that creates profound relaxation.

Gong Bath Meditations alter brain wave patterns from the Beta (waking state) to Theta & Delta (meditative) states. Science teaches that meditative brain frequencies enable us to access our deeper subconscious and superconscious, which are key states for healing.

Sound healing is not a new fad. The gong is one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. Based on ancient wisdom, gongs vibrate at the same frequency as the body allowing the body to heal itself.

These ideas might sound kind of “woo-woo”, but Sound Energy Healing is a physical phenomenon based on universal physical and biological principles called Sonic entrainment, where rhythmic vibrations of similar frequencies resonate in unison.

The universal principles of sound mean you do not have to believe in Sound Energy Healing or understand it, to benefit from sessions. However, you might be like many people, and want to know what proof exists for energy healing.

Okay, here comes a little Science lesson.

The sounds during a gong bath can be used to rebalance our human system. There is a profound effect on our cardiovascular, autonomic, endocrine and immune systems. It is an excellent therapy for stress-related issues, such as depression and anxiety.

What to expect in a group Gong Bath session:

Ideally you will experience the gong bath lying comfortably on your back. You will need to bring along a blanket and a pillow.

All you have to do is lie comfortably and close your eyes and relax. I then begin by playing the gongs very softly, increasing the volume as the session progresses (the volume never gets unbearable as I am playing therapeutically). I change the playing technique frequently so there is no fixed rhythm which results in the brain not being able to follow and entrainment takes place. Entrainment is the changing of brainwave frequencies.

After a continuous 40 minutes of gong playing, I start to wind down and play very gently for five minutes fading away to nothing. I then spend a little time talking you back to awareness.

The gong is an amazing and powerful instrument for healing work; I recommend that you take it easy for the rest of the day to allow the treatment to continue to do its work. I also advise that you drink plenty of water.

Setting the intention or creative visualisationDifference between stress and relaxation short set of exercises to help you relax readySound bath with gongsGentle return to full awareness

Out of respect to all participants and due to the sensitive nature of the work, DOORS CLOSE once a sessions has started there will be no admission:

If you would like to reserve a place, please purchase your ticket early. Gong bath sessions are very popular. We would like to fit everybody in but tickets will be limited to space so we ensure that everybody has enough space to be comfortable and also so that everybody can be looked after.

A few things to bring with you:

• A yoga mat to lie on, a pillow for your head and a blanket as some people might get a bit chilly during the session (we do provide them but feel free to bring your own cosy blanket). We try and make the room as warm as possible for you, but if you feel the cold please make sure you wear plenty of layers and thick socks.

• Please try to be on time so we hope you can be there for the whole session and share this experience together.

• Please bring with you….your honesty, your compassion, your courage and your fears, your dreams and your doubts, your joy and your tears, your sense of humour, your voice if you want, and your unique self.

*Postponed* Kirtan with Tim Chalice
2020-03-27 17:21 | England
We are postponing this event due to the current situation. Please stay in touch for future dates.

Tim returns to Macclesfield, accompanied by Damien Mahoney on percussions, for a beautiful evening of devotional chants.

By repeating simple mantras Kirtan is an effortless and very accessible way to experience some freedom from the endless chatter of the mind, revealing a graceful state of being and inner peace.

The moment we begin to chant there is a feeling of letting go, a deepening of the breath and a sense of coming home. We can let go of the doership and simply be in the present. As we immerse ourselves in these repetitive sounds our thoughts begin to recede and when the chants end, we can bathe in the silence that remains. It is a beautiful, simple practice. Feelings of fear, anger and separation are gently transformed into feelings of love, compassion and Oneness.

Kirtan is for everyone. No prior experience of chanting is necessary to gain the many benefits it has to offer, simply an openness to what may occur. Whether you wish to still your mind, awaken your heart, de-stress or simply enjoy singing with others kirtan is for you!

Tim is a regular at UK Bhakti Festivals and yoga gatherings and in 2012 released kirtan CD, Devotional Heart, produced by Tabla Tom. The follow-up ‘Give It All Away For Love’ was released in 2016.

“Tim is a dedicated pilgrim of prayerful chant and song. His devotional heart sound and meditative mantras, penetrate your mind, inspire participation, and awaken your heart.” – Chloe Goodchild – Singer, Author “The Naked Voice”.
