Step away from the noise, pressure and constant demands of daily life for a deeply restorative experience designed to help you understand stress differently, release deeply held tension and learn practical ways to support your nervous system long after the day is over.
This is not simply a yoga class followed by time in the spa.
The masterclass brings together modern neuroscience and ancient practices, combining advanced yin yoga, Acu-Yin, fascia release, acupressure, meditation and deep rest to explore the powerful connection between the body, mind and nervous system.
Stress, overwhelm and trauma can leave patterns of tension and accumulate in the body. When stress remains unresolved over time, it can affect both our physical and emotional wellbeing. We may think we have moved on mentally, but the body can continue to respond through tightness, restriction, fatigue, shallow breathing and that familiar feeling of never being able to fully switch off.
This specialised practice works with the body in a much more targeted way than a conventional yoga class. Using therapeutic spiky acupressure balls, longer-held yin postures, carefully selected acupressure points and nervous system practices, we will explore deeper layers of tension and holding and create the conditions for the body to soften and release, and we will have a little fun along the way too.
Drawing on my advanced yin yoga and Acu-Yin training, I will also explain what we are doing and why. You will learn more about fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, joints and organs throughout the body, how the nervous system responds to stress, the role of acupressure points rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, and how ancient practices and modern neuroscience can work together to support greater calm, ease and resilience.
This is an educational experience as much as a deeply restorative one. You will leave not only having experienced the techniques, but with a better understanding of your own body and nervous system and practical tools you can continue to use at home.
After the masterclass, your reset continues with a luxurious 2-hour thermal spa journey.
Expect to leave feeling lighter in your body, calmer in your mind, deeply rested and empowered with a greater understanding of how to support yourself when stress and chaos come knocking.
A complete nervous system reset so you can float out blissed out!
Set within Liverpool’s elegant Georgian Quarter, the multi award-winning Hope Street Hotel & Spa provides the perfect setting for this deeply restorative yoga and spa experience.
The specialised masterclass takes place in the Spa Studio, creating a calm and intimate setting for the practice before you continue into the luxurious 2-hour thermal spa journey.
Hope Street Hotel’s award-winning spa facilities include a hydrotherapy pool, outdoor vitality pool, saunas, steam room and heated relaxation beds, giving you time to fully unwind and enjoy the benefits of the experience.
