Pre-Festive updates & 2020 Offerings

"Most people have no idea how good their body is designed to feel.” - Kevin Trudeau

Hello to all of you lovely people in our Respira Yoga Community! It's certainly getting dark and chilly outside but don't you worry. We have some super-warming, exciting pre/post-festive treats to share with you.


During this time of year we naturally want to cosy-up indoors and slow down and it is crucial that we listen to what our body needs and take it down a notch at this time of year. If we overdo it, we are inviting colds, flu and bugs to enter our bodies.


Through the practice of yoga we switch ourselves to a more relaxed nervous system which allows our body to focus on restorative functions like cell renewal and the absorption of nutrients. Incorporating Yoga asana practice, breathing and meditation into everyday life can feel like a challenge and a bit of an adjustment.


On that note, I present to you below some deeply restorative offerings, allowing you to unplug from our non-stop, frenetic pace of life, peel away the layers of stress and to completely replenish.


Pre-Festive Yin Yoga & Sound Bath, Sunday 15 Dec 12.30-3.30pm

As the longest night of the year draws closer, reconnect with yourself in this cosy, Yin Yoga & Sound bath, celebrating the Winter Solstice. A wonderful festive gift idea for a loved one who would benefit from the incredible benefits of this ancient practice.


This unique, one-off class is designed to centre you for the festive break to come. A magical yoga journey suitable for all levels including complete beginners.


We will use blocks, aromatherapy, organic, flaxseed eye-pillows and blankets to ease into a state of deep support and rest during two hours of delicious, meditative yin yoga & breath-work. Then inspirational Martina Saorin from Yogic Sound will then use Gongs and Himalayan bowls to bring the body back to its natural state of balance and harmony with her healing sound bath. Topped off, of course by some incredible vegan chocolate! One not to be missed.


Reviews from our last fully booked Yin Yoga and SoundBath event:


“A wonderful wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon - so chilled and relaxed - everyone should do this - as often as possible! Thank you”

“Amazing experience - I was in a semi dream state. So incredibly relaxing! Thank you both - more please!”

“loved the yin yoga and sound bath yesterday. I fell asleep during the sound bath and felt so chilled out for the rest of the day! Definitely want to come back.”

“what an amazing afternoon. The Yoga was deep and the sound bath was magical... completely unplugged I had the best night's sleep in ages”.

“Attended the yin yoga and gong bath session on Sunday, it was amazing and genuinely I am still feeling the benefits. I came away feeling energised, but also rested and calm. Thank you, Isabella and Martina”.

“I recently attended Respira's Gong Bath experience which just blew me away, the sounds, the vibrations, the nourishment, the ambiance were all incredible. I feel blessed to have found Isabelle and her wonderful support crew.”


Takes place in the beautiful Dance Studio at Harrow Arts Centre. Sells out quick so please book early. £35. Full details and book here.
