Ritual to Rest

Slow down and reconnect with yourself through our signature sensory experience blending mindful scent rituals, gentle yin yoga and guided relaxation.

This immersive session is designed to regulate your nervous system, soften physical tension and guide you towards a deeply rested state of being.

We begin with a grounding ritual using carefully selected scents to help you land in your body and leave the noise of the day behind. From there, we move into a soothing yin yoga practice - long, supported shapes designed to melt away stress. We close with a deeply restorative guided relaxation, inviting your whole system to soften and release.

Each session is seasonally themed with care; drawing on elemental wisdom and the power of scent to create a sensory experience that lingers long after you leave.

Ritual to Rest is offered as a seasonal gathering and available for retreat venues, corporate wellness programmes and private celebrations

SCENT, RELEASE & REST

Enquire

  • "Sophie is absolutely amazing! It is a highlight of my week meeting up with my fellow yinsters and indulging in a wonderful rest and reset for my body and mind. Sophie is an expert at cultivating a peaceful atmosphere and the most mellow, relaxed yin yoga sessions I've had. Cannot recommend highly enough!"

    Tom

  • “Sophie is the nicest and most engaging yin yoga instructor I have had (and it's my favourite type of yoga as my life is quite yang!) I always feel restored after her classes at the farm, which is a really great location with the trees outside, with birds and sheep noises. Sophie is really friendly and her classes are small and nourishing.”

    Bonnie

  • “Sophie’s yin classes are a moment of complete bliss in my week. I began classes with a little experience of yin and I’m loving it. Everything is provided and she added eye masks after I said how helpful they are for me to relax. Sophie intuitively knows what we need and adapts the class as she goes. Highly recommend.”

    Gemma

  • “Absolutely love these yin yoga classes. They're so relaxing and restorative. Sophie is brilliant at creating a welcoming and inclusive space where she is an adept and thoughtful teacher. Always leave feeling wonderful. Fully recommend.”

    Pamela

  • "These classes are excellent - really well paced, with a lovely balance of breathing, mindfulness and movement. Sophie offers a range of modifications to make the postures accessible for everyone. I find the sessions profoundly relaxing and restorative.”

    Leyla

  • "Attending Sophie’s classes leads to an utter transformation. She is an excellent teacher : calm, clear, open and knowledgeable. After her classes my body feels looser and my mind lighter. Both feel cared for and nurtured.”

    Laura

  • “So happy to have discovered this wonderful practice that provides release and soothes body and mind.”

    Sarah

  • “Sophie’s class, focussing on stretching and holding poses, has enabled me to return to an amazing degree of flexibility and muscle strength following a foot operation and compromised knee. Her delivery is gentle, clear, knowledgeable and creative in helping me to modify the more challenging poses. Fabulous and life enhancing...highly recommended.”

    Tina

  • “Sophie’s yin yoga classes are the perfect antidote to the hectic weekly juggle; enabling me to stretch out and recover from sitting hunched over a computer, and relax and be mindful away from the constant hubbub of family life. Yin yoga provides an intense and rewarding stretch and Sophie provides tips and adaptations to enhance or ease the pose depending on how you’re feeling and what you’re able to do. Despite not being experienced at yoga Sophie’s class is really accessible and welcoming, and the perfect balance to bookend the week.”

    Beth

  • “I love the Yin yoga class with Sophie. She is really attentive and helpful to people who need that extra bit of support. The tranquil session creates a wonderful environment to help you stretch and unwind your body and mind.”

    Lynn

  • “Sophie introduced me to yin yoga over a year ago, and it is now part of my life. It is a slow and meditative form of yoga as you relax into a pose under Sophie’s guidance. She provides props or supports as necessary to help each of us to gain maximum benefit from that pose. The classes are small and intimate, allowing scope for us to raise any concerns or special needs. My class takes place in a tranquil wooden building within the City Farm.I always feel peaceful and energised at the end of each class, and I miss them greatly when I can’t attend. Thanks Sophie!”

    Linda

  • “Yin yoga is a revelation for someone like me prone to sports related injuries. Sophie is a wonderful guide who helps you explore your own body in a calming and restorative environment. The long yin holds work within your own range of flexibility (helpful with my hamstrings!) and I leave Sophie’s classes with my mind in tune with my body again. Couldn’t recommend her classes more! 5*+++”

Aylin

“I absolutely loved this workshop! Exploring the neuroscience of smell was both fascinating and eye-opening — it’s incredible how certain scents can unlock powerful memories and support our wellbeing. It was a joy to experience a wide range of grounding essential oils, learn how they come together to form a classic chypre perfume, and share the personal memories and emotions they evoked. The session culminated in discovering a selection of beautifully crafted perfumes that featured these oils. Sophie’s workshop was a perfect blend of education, creativity, and connection which was a truly unique experience.”
