Gong Bath: De-stress and Relax

Our events are called gong baths which are also known as sound baths – each relaxation session starts with a simple mindfulness exercise followed by bathing participants in particular sound frequencies. The NHS is increasingly using music and sound therapy, and new scientific studies are demonstrating how sound vibration can help stress, tension and other conditions. (Please see our Sound Therapy section for more information on the science).

These sessions are designed to help release stress built up over a busy week. We want to give you a timeout, somewhere to relax and recharge for the coming week. We have received some wonderful feedback about our events, many of our members are now attending on a weekly basis.

Sample review from Meetup

“First class. Excellence, efficiency and professionalism, with warmth and friendliness from two gong experts in Gary and Olga Evans, who explained everything well at the beginning, and made us all feel very relaxed and at ease, so we knew what to expect. There was humour in the education and a phenomenally wonderful group of very warm and caring attendees. If every gathering was a good as this, the world would become perfect overnight. Very highly recommended. ” Mercedes

Traditional Himalayan Style Yoga

Trained in India, we are teaching traditional Himalayan style yoga. Yoga is a balance between mind, body, and spirit. Our yoga practices combine all three elements – physical workout in the form of yoga postures; exercises to extend vital force (also known as prana or chi/ki) – pranayama; and spiritual practices – in the form of mantra repetition and concentration on internal states of consciousness throughout the practice.

ABOUT NATURE THERAPY:

Nature Therapy, as defined and practiced by Holistic Healing Therapy, is a type of relaxation involving spending time in nature to promote health and well-being. We combine different practices including mindfulness, grounding, and natural aromatherapy; using short exercises we also encourage the development and use of various senses. We aim to give you an opportunity to stop and look at life from a larger perspective. We have been inspired by forest bathing, currently widely practiced for its therapeutic properties in Japan and the USA.

In Japan, a forest bathing trip is called Shinrin-yoku.

“A forest bathing trip involves visiting a forest for relaxation and recreation while breathing in (wood essential oils). Incorporating forest bathing trips into a good lifestyle was first proposed in 1982 by the Forest Agency of Japan. It has now become a recognized relaxation and/or stress management activity in Japan.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_bathing

Some of the scientifically proven benefits of spending time in nature include reduced stress levels, stronger immune system response, and a stabilised cortisol cycle. You can read more about the benefits of Nature Therapy on our website.
