RESTORATIVE YOGA
RESTORATIVE YOGA
Restorative yoga is relaxing, effortless and blissful! Lying on a padded yoga mat, supported by bolsters and blankets, you'll be guided through a simple breathing technique to help you move from wired and tired, to soothed and rested. Experience the benefits of guided meditation and mindfulness techniques while you sink into deep relaxation and release physical tension. Practiced regularly, Restorative Yoga can restore energy levels, improve sleep, re-balance the nervous system and counteract the effects of a busy life
No yoga experience or flexibility required. Beginners are very welcome
WHAT HAPPENS IN A RESTORATIVE YOGA MINI-RETREAT?
During a RY mini-retreat you're guided through around 5 simple yoga poses that are all done lying down, on the support of a padded mat. The shapes your body makes take your spine through it's various ranges of movement and are held from 5-20 minutes. Your comfort throughout is of the utmost importance so if a shape that's suggested doesn't suit your body, I give you alternatives. This effortless, still, gentle practice is designed to assist participants to unwind, relax and ease physical and mental stress
In a typical session, you'll be guided through breathing exercises, mindfulness techniques + meditation with the intention of helping you nourish your body, mind and spirit, so you can reset your nervous system and once again flourish. I use guided mindfulness suggestions as a tool to change levels of stress in the moment and guided meditation to soothe the nervous system, while participants are fully supported physically with props, allowing profound relaxation. For Savasana (the final pose) I offer silence
Deep rest in a neutral environment can help us cope with stress and challenging times
