Restorative Yoga with Aerial Savasana and Sound Healing with Gabrielle Mendoza

About the Workshop

Set aside some much needed time for self-care through this unique, 3-hour extended practice with Gabrielle as we help the body to rest, the heart to heal and the mind to restore balance by unwinding the nervous system through conscious relaxation.

Along with guided relaxation and breathwork, the luxurious number of props used and customised adjustments provided will support the body effortlessly in order for practitioners to unbind tension from underlying mental and emotional stressors. The 20-minutes dedicated to each pose can also induce deep relaxation to nourish the commonly burdened areas of the body such as the shoulders and lower back. 

In the final 60 minutes, participants will be swaddled in a cocoon of comfort by an aerial silk suspended from the ceiling for a levitating Savasana. The weightless nature of this, paired with the organic hold of a second skin, induces a sense of safety, which opens the possibility for deeper states of relaxation to be experienced. The accompanying sounds and vibrations of the singing bowl instruments are known to induce Theta brainwave frequency, which induces a deep meditative state and brings forth a profound sense of calm. 

This practice is suitable for all levels of practitioners, and will be especially useful for those who need additional support to release tension and arrive in the freedom of stillness.

About Gabrielle Mendoza

Gabrielle crumbled under the stress of the corporate world and reclaimed her lost self through yoga. She now follows her dharma to help others to manage their stress through the means of mindfulness, meditation, and the discipline of yoga.   

Her training in yoga therapy has helped many to cope with their physical struggles, but her attunement with healing is what directs others to discover a whole inner world that transcends the superficial. She hopes to be able to impart accessible ways to incorporate mindfulness and meditation into the lives of those who are ready for change, and hold space for those who are struggling to find their footing. 

Gabrielle’s training in Mindfulness, as well as her tutelage under world-renowned therapist and trainer, Jillian Pransky, has enabled her to seamlessly weave the governing principles of living consciously with the therapeutic impact of Restorative Yoga. 

She strongly believes that harnessing them both can create balance, reduce stress, and nurture inner quiet, create conditions for self-awareness, compassion, and healing to pave the way towards having a balanced nervous system.  

Expect to integrate the physical body, subtle energy body, emotional body, and mental body in her practices to release trauma, promote forgiveness, renew commitments to treating ourselves right, and optimize self-healing in the process.
