RESTORATIVE YOGA
There's no yoga experience required for restorative yoga, and maybe there's no yoga experience like it!
This is a still practice with participants lying in various comfortable positions on the floor on a cosy base with blankets and bolsters creating a cocoon of comfort, warmth and support. While you're basking in stillness you'll be nourishing your mind, body and soul with rest. Re-charge with guided mindfulness & relaxation techniques, gifting yourself an effortless health and wellbeing practice
Book a monthly Sunday Sanctuary, a mini-retreat to unwind, slow right down, relax and de-stress. By slowing down the body, we slow down the mind and the breath. That leads us into the part of the nervous system where we rest, digest and repair, where healing takes place
There are various themed mini-retreats throughout the year including -
Warm Stone Restorative Yoga
Somatic Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga & Heartmath(R)

RESTORATIVE YOGA REVIEWS
"I was introduced to restorative yoga by this lovely lady. I had no idea what it was and I am thankful that Susie convinced me to give it a go. 🙏🏽 I think the use of the word “yoga” implies complicated poses in set flows. Restorative yoga should be named restful timeout. My fitness tracker showed me as having had a 90 minute nap. 😴 I highly recommend Susie". 🙌🏼

"Being cradled in the palm of Mother Earth herself is how it felt on Sunday afternoon in our very own Susie Orr’s restorative yoga hot stone retreat. Rosie and Susie took impeccable care of us and it was an incredible reset with warming coco-chai and bliss balls at the end. Thank you Susie" TJ, SANDGATE 2021
