SYRN: The Immersion — November 2025
Created and led by Bryony — Yoga Therapist, trained with The Minded Institute since 2014
A science-informed pathway from movement to deep, nourishing rest.
What is SYRN?
SYRN is a gentle yet profound four-stage process — Somatics, Yin, Restorative & Yoga Nidra — refined at Be Yoga Sussex over 11+ years by studio owner and yoga therapist Bryony (Minded Institute–trained, 2014).
It blends yoga therapy with neuroscience to soothe the nervous system, release long-held muscular and fascial tension, and retrain the body–mind to rest.
The Four Stages
Mindful micro-movements re-educate brain–muscle pathways, improving interoception via the insula and helping unwind habitual holding.
Motor learningInteroceptionLong-held, supported shapes nourish fascia and down-shift sympathetic drive, enhancing vagal tone and emotional regulation.
FasciaVagal toneFull support invites surrender; the baroreceptor reflex helps lower heart rate and blood pressure, restoring homeostasis.
BaroreflexHomeostasisGuided Yoga Nidra cultivates theta/delta activity on EEG — states linked with deep restoration, creativity and emotional integration.

SYRN addresses modern chronic stress and hypervigilance, supporting the autonomic nervous system, immune function and mood regulation.

FAQs
Is this suitable for newer practitioners?
Yes. SYRN is intentionally gentle and accessible, with options for all bodies. Teachers and dedicated students love it equally.
What’s the science behind SYRN?
Somatics enhances interoception (insula activity); Yin down-regulates sympathetic arousal and supports vagal tone; Restorative activates the baroreceptor reflex; Nidra tends toward theta/delta EEG states associated with deep restoration.

Comfortable layers, water bottle, journal. We provide all props (bolsters, blankets, bricks, straps) and nourishing snacks.
Can I book the immersion only?
