BACK LEILA DENNING In my classes, there’s no need for perfection or competition—just a space for deep self-exploration and inner growth. With the mind focused inward, the practice delivers exactly what is needed. Leila Denning Kundalini Yogi Club I'm excited to extend a warm invitation to my Kundalini Yoga class, where we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and inner transformation. Kundalini Yoga is a powerful and dynamic practice that combines breath-work, movement, meditation, and mantra chanting to awaken your inner energy and elevate your consciousness. Whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned yogi, this class is open to all levels of experience. If you’ve never tried Kundalini yoga before, it’s a practice that draws your attention inward. We work with the breath and movement, guided by feeling rather than aiming for specific postures. It’s incredibly soothing for the nervous system, activating the vagus nerve and naturally boosting mood-enhancing chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin —helping you feel more balanced, uplifted, and at ease. https://www.instagram.com/leiladenning/?hl=en-gb

The Sound Bath Sessions, a moment for you to relax, rebalance & recharge. We also offer deeply relaxing 1-2-1 sessions. Book & More Info What is a sound bath? A sound bath is relaxing experience where you lie down whilst being immersed in sound vibrations from various instruments. Most commonly, Himalayan singing bowls, crystal, singing balls, gongs, tuning forks, the voice and drums. What does a sound bath do? A sound bath predominantly helps with relaxation as part of helping to manage stress. While sound baths have various benefits for stress management and overall well-being, scientific research on its direct effects on cellular resonance and function is still evolving. Sound baths should be considered as a complementary approach alongside other stress management strategies. Harvard Medical School is widely considered as the world’s leading research institute on the effects of stress on the human body, sighting stress as the single largest contributor to physical and mental health conditions. This link from the Harvard medical school expands on the research in this area, a summary of which is below. Further Information In summary, the brain has two main nervous system responses, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic system controls our ‘fight or flight’ responses in stress situations through the release of adrenaline and cortisol. The parasympathetic system regulates our ‘rest and digest’ functions through the release of insulin (controls blood sugars and energy use in the body) and Acetylcholine (produced by the bowel and is a muscle relaxant). The term chronic stress describes being in a sympathetic response state on a prolonged basis. Many Anti-anxiety and antidepressants prescriptive medicines increase the amount of parasympathetic chemicals in the system to counter stress responses. Resulting in both ‘fight or flight’ and ‘rest and digest’ chemical levels in the system being high. Rather than increase the parasympathetic response, the ideal would be to reduce the sympathetic response so the system is naturally balanced. By inducing relaxation, the way a sound bath can, we seek to lower the fight or flight response, rather than just increasing the rest digest response, thereby bring the overall level of chemicals present in the body down. The aim being to bring about the best balance for the body and help address chronic stress as unobtrusively as possible. Addressing stress using sound works very well in partnership with an active lifestyle as well as prescription drugs when and where required. It’s the reaction of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems that makes exercise feel good. During a workout, the fight or flight response is activated, and our bodies produce adrenaline which gives the ‘high’. Post workout, our body produce ‘rest and digest’ chemicals as part of our recovery, which induce relaxation and provide that post workout ‘euphoric’ feeling. Consistent physical exercise overtime, helps balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, also helping to reduce chronic stress. From a more spiritual perspective, a sound bath is thought to help balance the body and chakras. If you picture a flow of energy from the universe through the body to the ground; It would flow through the chakras from the crown, third eye, throat, heart, Solar plexus, sacral, and finally to the root. A depletion, or an excess of energy in any of the chakras affects the flow of energy through the body leading to a feeling of imbalance. Put another way, an imbalance can manifest itself in an inability to relax. What a sound bath does is provide an opportunity to reflect on where in the body may be experiencing a depletion or excess in energy. Then allow time to absorb the softer more nurturing sounds in the areas that need replenished, while expelling excess energies from other areas during the louder moments of crescendo. Evening out the areas of excess and depletion allows for a better flow of energy through the body, bringing balance, which allows for a greater sense of control and clarity of thought. What should I take to sound bath? What to take to a sound bath. Water, yoga mat, blanket, pillow and a bolster cushion or rolled up towel to place under the knees. This can be beneficial for taking pressure off the lower back. What to do during a sound bath? In practical terms, during a sound bath, you do not have to do anything. To get the most out of a sound bath, invite yourself to use the time to induce as much relaxation as possible, relieve yourself of that which doesn’t serve you, and focus on a positive outcome for anything you seek to resolve. What to expect from your first sound bath? During your first sound bath expect some time to yourself to relax. The power of relaxation can be a powerful tool to help bring about calm allowing for a greater clarity of thought. Are sound baths good for anxiety? Sound baths can be beneficial for anxiety as the calming sounds and vibrations can help reduce stress, quiet the mind, and induce a sense of tranquillity. What to expect after a sound bath? After a sound bath session, you might feel more relaxed, centred, balanced, and more in control of your emotions. You may also experience improvement in quality of sleep, clarity of thought and a reduction in stress in the days after a sound bath. What is sound healing? Sound healing involves using sound frequencies and vibrations to support healing and wellness in the body, mind, and soul. It taps into the concept that various frequencies can help us relax which positively impact our emotional and physical health. The body does the healing. The sound creates a more relaxed state that best facilities the mind and or bodies recovery. By employing instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, or vocals, practitioners generate specific frequencies and vibrations that resonate with the body. This resonance aims to restore equilibrium, ease stress, and induce a state of relaxation. Advocates suggest that sound healing may clear energetic blockages, lessen anxiety, alleviate discomfort, and potentially enhance emotional clarity by harmonizing the body's energy systems. It's often used in conjunction with conventional medical approaches.
