The perfect way to prepare for the holiday rush
As the festive season builds and everything seems to collide at once, this workshop offers you a mini sanctuary — a space to rest, recharge, and soothe your mind, body, and soul.
Join two experienced teachers for a deeply restorative experience.
Emma will gently guide you through restorative yoga to support your physical wellbeing, while I move through the room offering ‘close-hand magic’ — a blend of Reiki and sound healing given directly on and around your body. It’s like receiving a personal sound healing session within a nurturing group environment.
We’ll close with a pure sound bath savasana — a deeply peaceful immersion to leave you calm and grounded.My final event of the year — don’t miss this opportunity to reset before the holidays.

​SOUND & RESTORATIVE HEALING MONTHLY POP UPS CLASSES 

Three unique ways to experience Sound  Healing at the studio
-  see home page for dates

DEEP DIVE - SOUND BATH JOURNEY

DEEP DIVE sound bath journey 
Step into a deeply healing, sensory experience designed to restore, release, and realign. This Sound Bath is a journey without movement — a transformative inner voyage guided by the resonance of sacred sound.
We begin gently with simple breathwork and a short grounding meditation to anchor the body and calm the mind. Then, you’ll be immersed in a rich tapestry of sound featuring a wide range of instruments: drums, flutes, gongs, sansula, singing pyramid, chimes, and crystal and metal bowls. Each note is carefully chosen to guide you into that liminal space — the place between waking and dreaming — where deep rest, clarity, and renewal are found.
You’re invited to arrive a little early to sip on a warm herbal tea and, if you feel called, draw a Moonology card for reflection. Your space will be lovingly prepared with mats, cushions, and blankets — all you need to do is settle in, rest, and surrender.
Everything is taken care of, including the tidy-up, so you can leave feeling light, spacious, and deeply nourished.

75- 90mins limited to 7 places book early for a guaranteed spot and early bird price   book here ​

DEEP CALM guided iRest® guided meditation with Crystal Sound Healing

iRest® Yoga Nidra & Crystal Bowl Sound Meditation

This serene 55-minute class offers a gentle yet profound blend of iRest® Yoga Nidra and the grounding, low drone tones of crystal singing bowls, designed to calm the nervous system and guide the brain into deeply restful states. The meditation is fully guided throughout the session. 

iRest® is a guided form of meditation typically practiced lying down. It is both integrative — helping to heal unresolved emotions and trauma — and restorative, supporting you in uncovering the ever-present inner peace that exists beneath life’s surface fluctuations.

Developed by clinical psychologist Dr. Richard Miller, iRest® is an evidence-based practice rooted in ancient yogic traditions and informed by modern neuroscience and positive psychology. I began practicing it during pregnancy with my daughter over 25 years ago, and I was proud to be among the first certified iRest® teachers in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

To enhance the experience, each session features a unique, intuitively curated set of Crystal Tones® Alchemy Singing Bowls, specifically chosen to harmonise with the theme of the meditation. Their rich, resonant tones support deeper relaxation and a heightened sense of inner awareness.

This class is suitable for all levels — no prior meditation experience is needed.

What to bring:
All mats, blankets, and props are provided, but you’re welcome to bring a favourite pillow or anything that helps you feel more at ease. A water bottle is also recommended

55 minutes of deep rest, healing, and inner clarity
Early bird specials of $25 fill up fast so book early to ensure a space

Limited to 8 people book here ​

DEEP REST​ Crystal Sound Healing & Restorative Yoga

Step into a sanctuary of stillness with DEEP REST — an occasional 120-minute pop-up retreat designed as a luxurious pause from the pace of everyday life.
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a warm herbal tisane and the delicate scents of aromatherapy. Gentle tinctures, sprays, and anointing oils will accompany you throughout, creating a sensory journey from start to finish.
Take a moment to draw an intuitive card, if you wish, before settling into a cocoon of comfort in a softly candlelit room. You’ll be guided through deeply restorative, floor-based yoga postures — all simple, supportive,  No experience is needed, just the ability to move get down ( and up from the floor).
A calming guided meditation will help center your thoughts and open space for clarity and renewal.
Then, surrender to the serene resonance of a crystal singing bowl sound bath. Let the pure tones harmonize your subtle energies and awaken the body’s natural healing intelligence — a blissful balm for mind, body, and spirit.
All mats, bolsters, and blankets are lovingly prepared for you. All you need to do is arrive, rest, and receive. When it’s time to leave, everything is taken care of — you’ll simply float home.
Spaces are limited to just 7 guests for an intimate, nurturing experience.
Or book a private session for you and your friends.
