Rituals & Rest
Combining the wisdom of my Folk Herbalism and Yoga Nidra, I offer you incredibly special workshops. New Moons are a powerful time to set new intentions and watch them flourish with the growing moonlight. It’s also a magical time filled with stillness, guiding us deeper into consciousness. Each workshop has a specific theme to dive deeper into Yoga Nidra. We also enjoy a specifically paired tea blend for each workshop to amplify our journey.
About the New Moon Yoga Nidra
Nighttime is a time to turn towards stillness. In this stillness, we are closest to our truest essence. Add to this the powerful New Moon, which is void of light in the night sky. Out of this void and emptiness, all is birthed into Life. This is a great time to plant seeds of intentions at the start of a new lunar cycle.
We begin the session with a ritual to cleanse our space and honour the directions and elements. This practice is seen in many spiritual rituals (yoga and Hinduism, indigenous cultures, paganism, and more).
We then move into a space of meditative self-inquiry (related to the New Moon in relation to the stars and the specific theme of the workshop, see below), revealing our seeds of intentions for the month.
As we rest in a Restorative yoga pose, we are guided into Yoga Nidra. I share practices passed down through my teachers (from the Sri Vidya lineage – Himalayan Institute). We offer our intentions to the Goddess.
Yoga Nidra (commonly referred to as yogic sleep) is an ancient Tantric Yoga practice that helps reduce stress, anxiety, and insomnia. In ancient texts, Yoga Nidra is a Goddess.
In this session, I guide you to a place of relaxation where the thoughts begin to slow down. You’ll move into a deep state of stillness (moving through the koshas), where you are unconditionally supported and awaken a connection to the infinite or Source.
Workshop occurs on (or around) the New Moon, except on a solar eclipse.

My passion is always in creating beautiful spaces and activities for you to connect back to yourself and nature (through rituals and rest). I teach regular yoga classes, run Events and Retreats (mini-retreats and 3 days), and Restorative Yoga Teacher Trainings. A highlight is our Restorative & Sound Healing Journey workshops. If you are looking for space to just be, this is the place for you. Lots of love on your journey back to Self.
