Sound and Ground, Thetford (2026)

26/03/2026

It was our Spring special postnatal yoga and social for mums and little ones today and what a beautiful day for it!

The sun shone all day ☀️With beautiful views of Spring unfolding in the forest through the window, we enjoyed a steady grounding practice, gently opening through the front body, easing tension in neck and shoulders, stretching the back body and feeling ready to welcome the new possibilities of Spring.

We sang to our little bunnies 🐰 bounced, rocked, swayed, breathed and then settled into the rest of a mini crystal singing bowl meditation.

The last Thursday of each month means it’s a social session, with lunch in the onsite cafe and a walk after yoga. 🌲
More time to be in community with other mums and little ones - because sometimes we have to find our own village! And thanks to the support of High Lodge we have the most wonderful home for our sessions, and discounted all day parking, making these sessions truly community minded and accessible 💗🙏

If you’d like to join us in April there are spaces waiting for you. I’ll be taking a short break for a few weeks over Easter, back on our mats 16th April 🌷🪺

There’s a stirring, there’s a sweetness at the edge of in between. The restlessness, the quickening, the almost but not quite yet…
Maybe you feel it too? Spring Equinox has passed, there are sure signs of Spring and yet you feel depleted, a little run down, wanting to make plans but lacking energy.

Wednesday 1st April brings us to the Pink Full Moon or in our native Celtic name, the Seed moon. This is your invitation to take a pause, reflect, and acknowledge where we are in this in between time - stirring from our dreaming of Winter to the emergence of Spring.

The sounds offered will invite you to drift in this liminal space as you sow your seeds of intention for the return of life and growth that aligns with Spring - yet unhurried, steady, just like the trees in the forest all around.

There are a last few spaces remaining and I’m only offering 4 sound baths through April - if you feel drawn but can’t make it on the Full Moon then my other sessions are:
Friday evening 10th April & Saturday morning 11th April at and Wednesday afternoon on 22nd at

Yoga Nidra on Spring Equinox.
A beautiful way to softly mark this threshold moment.
The balance of night and day, treading from Winter to Spring.
Gathering in the forest, a practice created with the intention of inviting us to hold darkness in one hand, joy and gratitude in the other.

The wisdom of the trees and the natural world invites our acceptance that we all bud and bloom at our own pace. That it’s natural at this time of year to feel a desire for change and growth, yet not have the energy for it quite yet.
The trees, buds and flowers all emerge at their own sweet right moment, and so too can you.
❤️☀️🌲🌷🪺

Spring Equinox beckons.
In a world seemingly filled with darkness, here is a gentle space to find joy and celebrate the return of the light.
Darkness can only prevail for so long, hopeful Spring always comes again.

This is a limited capacity, intimate celebration in the heart of Thetford forest on Saturday 21st March.

3 courses of delicious plant based food lovingly created by Jess at who puts such heart and soul into her dishes. Her food always delights and nourishes on every level.

Slow, soft and reflective time in the forest. Gentle movement, likeminded peace loving community and connection. A Yoga Nidra sound bath for deep listening and rest, for it is the resourced hearts and souls that stay hopeful, awake, tender and able to take action.

Light is returning, you’re invited to join this celebration.

Winter has not yet fully come to pass, Spring is on her way but not yet quite here. February is our threshold month, the bridge across.

A gentle reminder from the natural world to stay low to the earth a little while yet and to gather energy with patience and trust in what is stirring beneath the earth…

✨This month there are spaces for you to join me for Yoga Nidra (I’ve had a cancellation so there is now 1 space) also for pregnancy or postnatal yoga.
🪶As there has been no availability for my sound offerings for a while, I’ve listened and opened up another birdsong sound bath for the end of this month. Please know you’re warmly welcomed if you feel called.

P.s I know I’m only just posting this and we are half way through a short month. Apologies. A whole lot of life has been happening and in order to tend to myself to hold space for you, I’ve needed a bit of a break from social platforms.
Love and snowdrops,
Nicky

This is what collective rest looks like.
When the world is heavy, it’s ok to set that down awhile. In fact it’s essential. This is the deep inner work that’s needed, rest is not a luxury.
A cosy warm space nestled amongst the trees in Thetford forest, where you can just hear the birds outside the building singing in the trees. You can feel nature holding you.
Soft textures - fluffy rugs, blankets and gentle layers of sound.
Time and space protected and held for you, in dedication of ease, rest and sound.
A community space to linger after, chat with loved ones, journal, share stories and make new friends.

These were the gatherings this weekend at - Saturday for our birdsong sound bath with the added delight of handpan by (thank you Phil, we loved it!) and Sunday to honour the full moon and the seasonal threshold of Imbolc.

Yes, it’s a sound bath, but maybe it’s more than that? Collective tending to our nervous systems and rest as resistance could be one way to describe it.
Community care another - as always huge thanks for your generous donations to which will be added to and stopped off soon.
Big Monday love,
Nicky

Step into a cosy indoor space surrounded by the forest. Birdsong fills the air and there is a mild scent of pine on the air.
Here you can lay down and rest - a warm space with a fluffy rug, soft blanket, mat, eye pillow and bolster await you.

Through a gently guided nature visualisation, softly playing British birdsong and a live immersive sound bath, you may find you’re able to drift away mentally to the forest beyond.

Saturday 31st January, 5pm at Oak Lodge, you’re invited to join us.

Birdsong has the ability to signal safety to our nervous system, reducing stress, promoting positive emotions, relaxation and restoration. The sounds of nature have a wonderful way of holding us like that. Combine this with a nature inspired live sound meditation and I hope you’ll find some inner harmony and welcome rest for body, mind and spirit.

It’s short notice I know, I had so many requests for an additional sound session to be added as next availability for and sound baths with me is in March so I’ve added this in the hope it may be just what’s needed for the moment.
Nearly the half the spaces have filled, if you would like one but are hanging in there for payday (January can feel like a very long month!) just DM me and we can arrange just a £5 deposit with the balance payable after payday 🙏
Warmly,
Nicky

The end of last year was challenging for a number of reasons, so I’ve had a longer break than planned.
Softly I’m making my way back to routines and offerings, yet remembering this is still very much a time for resting and wintering. Not rushing - declining busyness for now. I hope you can be gentle with yourself too.

Lovely to offer the first sound baths of ‘26 at last weekend.
This week I was back to sharing weekly pregnancy and postnatal yoga with sound at - nurturing pauses for mums in a busy world with many demands.

A newsletter is being written (slowly) and more offerings for January, February and March are landing softly like snowflakes into the Bookwhen schedule.

I’ve also added a birdsong sound bath for the end of this month, in case you feel called to rest and the restorative sounds of nature. It’s been asked for a lot so I hope it will be supported, even though it’s short notice.

Forest bathing is paused until March, my annual rest from outdoor sessions.

May you be well friends, may you lean into the softness and beauty of a spacious schedule. Bare branches, acorns and seeds buried deep in the wintering earth. For now simply answering the call to rest as we journey through the remaining winter months.

With much gratitude and love, I’m signing off this platform for a few weeks.
May your festive season be filled with rest, cosy moments and lots of self-compassion.

I’ll take one final look at emails today and respond to all I can given current illness and in line with what my limited energy permits.
I’ll then be totally offline until 7th Jan.

For any enquiries during this time please send me an email as this will be the first place I will work from in January and not messages on this or other platforms please.
With thanks 🙏
Sending you all warmest festive wishes,
Nicky

Winter Solstice is with us.
The ever steady turning of the wheel of the year.
This weekend I have been blessed to offer three celebrations in honour.
Solstice forest bathing at where the morning was truly a celebration of golden light and winter’s invitation to rest.
Friday evening yoga nidra at for soulful enquiry within and tending to our wintering inner earth.
Culminating with this evening back at High Lodge, for our celebration. Yuletide crafts, a very special magical lantern light folklore walk in the forest and a reflective sound bath after.
It’s been blessings upon blessings.

I’m tired. My winter den is calling, for now I’ll be tending to my hopeful embers in the grate - nurturing flickers of hope, faith and joy while simultaneously tending to heavier emotions.
Sending you heaps of gratitude and may your blessings abound.
The sun stands still for now, but light will surely return.
Love,
Nicky
