Nature’s Essence: Restore & Reset with Sammy Jo & Divine & Sacred Therapies

SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Drawing inspiration from nature’s aromatic plants alongside the ancient practices of Yoga, breathwork and Pranayama, this nurturing workshop explores simple ways we can support our everyday wellbeing through scent, movement, breath and deep rest. Take home an essential oil rollerball to continue your practice at home. Rather than approaching January with pressure to change or “start again”, Nature’s Essence: Restore & Reset offers an opportunity to pause after the busyness of Christmas and New Year, reconnect with yourself and gently settle back into your natural rhythm. We will begin by connecting with nature through essential oils derived from plants, flowers, leaves, woods and fruits. We’ll explore their different aromas, qualities and traditional uses and consider simple ways these oils can become part of a personal wellbeing and self-care ritual. From here, we move into a gentle breath-connected asana practice, allowing the natural rhythm of movement and breath to create space within the body and encourage us to turn our awareness inward. As our movement begins to slow, we will explore simple breath practices, noticing how consciously changing the rhythm and quality of the breath can influence how we feel and help prepare the body and mind for stillness. We will then move into BreathWork exploring traditional yogic breathing practices that take us beyond simply breathing well and towards a deeper awareness of breath, relaxing our nervous system and finding ourself. Complimentary aromas will accompany a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra, allowing the practices of essential oils, movement and breath to come together as we create space to rest, restore and reconnect.
