Discover the amazing benefits of sound healing on our Yin Yoga Training. Sound Therapy practitioner, Zsofia Nyakas, joins lead teacher, Austin Ince, to deliver an astounding session combining the two practices that’ll help you reach an all time new level of blissed out…
Why sound healing and Yin Yoga?
In short, sound healing and Yin yoga are a match made in heaven. Yin yoga relies on the cultivation of a restful and meditative mindset that helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system. This allows you to settle deep into the myofascial layer of your body, where powerful release can take place.
Sound healing is an ancient practice that harnesses the power of sonic vibrations to settle the body and slow down brainwaves; essentially inducing the meditative mindset and parasympathetic nervous state that allows a Yin practice to flourish.
So whilst the vibrations are thrumming around the studio, they’re also helping your mind and body settle into complete stillness, elevating your practice and providing exceptionally deep release.
That’s all we can say for the theory, but if you want to discover the benefits for yourself, join our training!
Szofia Nyakas: Sound Healer + Yin Yoga Teacher
Having already undertaken a 200hr yoga teacher training, it was in more recent years that Zsofia discovered the profound impact of sound healing and has incorporated it as an integral part of her life. She now holds a Professional Diploma in Group Sound Therapy and is constantly seeking new opportunities to continue her education and growth as a teacher. She fosters a meditative environment in class, empowering students to harness their inner wisdom to attain peace and clarity. Zsofia fosters a safe and inclusive space, helping practitioners cultivate a deep connection to body, mind, and spirit.
Sofia met Austin on his Yin training last year, and having found it profoundly impactful felt a strong desire to collaborate with him. This led to them deciding to pair the modalities of Yin and Sound Healing to deliver a truly unique session. This is a beautiful testament to the opportunities that can arise from such an in-depth and immersive training.
