March 2nd

A two hour dive into deep rest, suitable for all bodies.

In December Claire will be joined by Cellist Lea Miklody. Claire and Lea have collaborated on Sweet Dreams for the past 2 years and it's an extra special evening with Lea in the space. Her skill and sensitivity as a musician enables her to weave a magical landscape that enables you to drop even more deeply into yourself. She will play Cello while you rest. There are moments of silence woven into the music, to create a rich tapestry of sound and quiet, alongside Claire's verbal guidance.

Each evening begins with a grounding meditation and breath awareness practice.

For the following hour you will experience the magic of restorative yoga. A series of gentle stretches or postures where you are completely supported by cushions and bolsters, wrapped up in blankets and invited to rest, day dream and let your tension melt away.

The session closes with a 30 minute Yoga Nidra. Described as the "meditative heart of yoga, Yoga nidra is a restful meditation practice which includes body and breath awareness with visualisation, which has been shown to change your brain waves so you enter deep rest, and which has a profound effect on the nervous system.

The whole evening is designed so that you can experience healing, nourishing rest and drop deeply into yourself ..... Give yourself time to just be, with no demands or expectations.

Your guides for the evening

Claire Osborne guides the class gently, with lots of space and time for quiet. Her many years of expertise as a therapist and yoga teacher means that she is able to adapt for personal needs within the group. She works in a light-hearted, trauma informed and respectful way to support you to have the most comfortable and easeful evening possible.

Lea Miklody is an experienced musician, in demand as a collaborative artist with many solo artists, as well as playing in West Cork's renowned "Mamacha". Her sensitivity and skill as a musician enables her to respond to the moment, the energy in the space, and carry you on a journey deep into an inner space of rest and ease. Born in Hungary, based in West Cork the music of Lea M. is rooted in improvisation and inspired by nature. With cello, voice and a loop station she creates ambient experimental soundscapes that bring listeners to a quiet space of inner journey and connection. Layer upon layer of bowed, plucked and even strummed cello loops weave seamlessly, ebbing and flowing from near-symphonic force to delicate stillness. Lea has released a solo album “In Search of Water”.
