Yin Yoga - or Yoga Nidra - and Sound Bath

​at the Hare and the Moon Studio, Twickenham
**11th APRIL**ONE PLACE LEFT!!!!**
Give yourself permission to pause. Step away from the demands of daily life and settle into stillness, where balance can be restored. Turning inward creates space for calm, clarity and a deeper sense of grounding.

Devoted to deep rest, renewal and gentle self-inquiry, these nourishing "Rest and Reflect" afternoon retreats weave together gentle practices such as yin yoga, conscious breathwork, meditation, journalling and yoga nidra and always finish with a sound bath.
​Each Rest and Reflect afternoon is unique, gently shaped by the rhythms of the seasons. Practices and themes are thoughtfully curated and you’ll be guided with warmth, clarity and plenty of options, allowing you to move and rest in ways that feel comfortable and supportive for your body.

These afternoons are held at the beautiful Hare and the Moon studio on Twickenham Green - a calm, intimate space perfectly suited to this style of practice.
"Wonderful sessions - a lovely curation of movement flow, energy shifting and deep sound healing. Can’t wait for the next one! "
After our practice, you are welcome to stay for complimentary tea and chocolate afterwards, giving yourself time to "come round" slowly and chat and connect with others before heading home. 

You’ll leave feeling calmer, lighter and deeply rested, with a renewed sense of connection to yourself, your breath and what truly matters.

Meet your hosts

Sarah Greenall has been teaching yoga since 2015. She created these retreats because she kept seeing the same thing in her students – people who were exhausted, stretched thin and had stopped making time for themselves. The retreats are her answer to that.
​
​Reshma Pankhania (www.energy-alchemist.co.uk) leads the sound bath and energy work. She has a quiet, grounding presence and a knack for helping people actually switch off.
In May 2024, Sarah reached out to Reshma about collaborating on an event, despite having met only once. The invitation felt instinctive, and the timing aligned beautifully, as Reshma had been hoping to create more community-focused sound healing offerings. A simple whatsapp message soon grew into a shared vision. Since then, they have co-hosted many events, building a strong working relationship grounded in trust, shared values and deep mutual respect. 
Please note the April practice is Yoga Nidra (an extended guided relaxation for deep rest) instead of yin yoga. There is no practice in May as we are holding a day retreat on 10th May, click here for details.
"Just to say how much I enjoyed the mini retreat. Such a great way to spend the afternoon. Felt so relaxed afterwards, but also felt like I had moved my body as well."

FAQs about the "Rest and Reflect" afternoons...

Who are these afternoons for?
​These sessions are for anyone who wants to rest, relax and reconnect. If you're happy to get down onto a yoga mat, you're welcome - no experience needed. Please note: sound baths are not suitable if you’re in your first trimester of pregnancy. If you are further on in your pregnancy please make sure we are aware.

ABOUT YIN YOGA
Yin is a quiet, contemplative practice that targets the deepest tissues of the body (the connective tissues, the fascia, ligaments and joints), quietens the mind and melts away stress. We actively hold each pose for a few minutes - supported by props - allowing the body and mind to soften and release tension. Most of the poses are done on the floor, seated or lying down. No dynamic flows, just stillness, breath and presence. Nothing to perfect or achieve. Yin Yoga has close ties with Traditional Chinese Medicine.

What if I can’t do a pose?
That’s absolutely fine. You can simply lie down and rest while I guide you with breath, poetry, or gentle suggestions. Modifications are always offered - and resting is always welcome.

New to yoga or Yin?
No problem at all. I will guide you through everything step-by-step.

ABOUT YOGA NIDRA
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation/relaxation that allows you to calm your mind, enter into a deep rest, reduce stress and discover an inner peacefulness. Simply lie down (or remain seated if you prefer) and make yourself comfortable and warm, close your eyes and listen to my voice as I guide you to a deep state of relaxation. Yoga Nidra translates as Yogic sleep - whilst not actually asleep, practitioners are led to a place of deep rest, a place between wakefulness and sleep. No previous experience is necessary.
​
What should I wear and/or bring?
Just wear loose comfortable clothes (no jeans or tight waists) that you can move and breathe in easily. All props - mats, blankets, bolsters, bricks, blocks, belts, eye pillows are provided. No need to bring anything, although an extra blanket is very useful. 

The Sound Bath - what is it?
You’ll be lying down, cosy and supported, while you're “bathed” in sound from crystal bowls, chimes and gongs. Their vibrations will help switch off your thinking mind and shift your brainwaves to a deeper place of calm. Sound baths have been found to reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep and enhance overall well-being. A previous attendee has repeatedly shown us how their smartwatch records a huge boost in energy and "body battery" during these restful sessions. NB You can also sit in a chair or lean against a wall if that’s more comfortable for you.

What if I’m unsure about Sound Baths?
That’s totally normal. I will admit my first one left me feeling a little out of sorts as I wasn't sure what to expect - but afterwards, I felt incredibly calm and amazing. Sound Baths can shift energy and emotions and sometimes that feels intense. But every session is different and being open to the experience helps. The deep rest and reset that follows is worth it and many people find the experience sublime.

What else will we do?
The practices could include Yin Yoga, meditation, breath work, journalling, Yoga Nidra - linked to the theme of the afternoon. There will always be a sound bath. At the end, there's no need to rush off, there's time to connect, chat, drink tea, eat some chocolate (provided!) and ease gently back into your day.
