Event Starts in:
Nervous System Nectar Retreat
- 28 Aug - 6 Sept 2025
- Tochni, Larnaka
Step away from the overstimulation of modern life and immerse yourself in a 10-day journey of deep rest, healing, and renewal. Set in the peaceful village of Tochni, this retreat offers you a sanctuary to reset your nervous system and return to a grounded, balanced state of being.
Rooted in the pioneering method of Yin Resonance®, this experience blends the stillness of Yin Yoga with the transformative power of Sound Healing to create what we call: Nervous System Nectar.
What to Expect
Yin Resonance® is a pioneering practice that weaves together Yin Yoga and Sound Healing, using vocal tones, acoustic instruments, and engineered sound to bring the body and mind into harmony.
Known as Nervous System Nectar, this practice is deeply soothing, meditative, and restorative, supporting you to slow down, release tension, and reconnect with your natural state of balance.
Yin Yoga is a slow, nourishing practice that works on balancing and opening energy pathways (meridians), deeply stretches and soothes the connective tissues and creates space in both the body and mind.
Sound Healing draws on the principles of resonance, entrainment and intention, and enhances the alredy powerful effects of Yin Yoga, supporting deep rest and a return to your natural state of balance.

Sound & Vibrational healing is an ancient healing technique that uses tonal frequencies to help you to clear energetic blockages & thus facilitate healing on a physical & mental level. The frequency of the sound synchronises with the brainwaves, slowing them down to a deeply restorative state of vibrational balance, coherence & harmony.
Her vision is to combine energy healing modalities, sounds, frequencies, vibrations & movement that assist us on our inner healing journey. When reconnecting with Mother Earth we are raising our own personal frequency & by co-creating with each other, we assist in raising the frequency of the collective.
