Restorative Yoga

with Carrie Jeff

A regular Restorative Yoga practice can help induce the relaxation response, counteracting the ‘fight or flight’ response and promote feelings of wellbeing, making you more resistant to the negative effects of stress. 

Postures are held passively for an extended period of time, either seated or lying down.  We use supportive props, such as bolsters, blocks, blankets, straps and eye pillows, you will be able to completely relax and hold poses for longer - with no effort.

​Your body will gradually open up and sink naturally into deep, restorative relaxation. The stretching is passive, which eliminates unnecessary straining.

Classes will finish with a guided Yoga Nidra meditation. Yoga Nidra triggers the relaxation response balancing the nervous system and allowing the body to heal.  Yoga Nidra is known for its ability to assist those struggling with insomnia, anxiety, depression, pain, or the effects of trauma in their life. The restorative effect of a yoga nidra session (30-60 minutes) is said to be the restful equivalent of 3-4 hours sleep. 

This deeply restorative guided meditation practice allows you to relax, recharge and rejuvenate. ​
​
SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE!
PARTNERS WELCOME
Restorative Yoga gives us an opportunity to reset.​ While we cannot change the demands and the nature of the modern world, restorative yoga helps NURTURE healthier responses to events and situations beyond our control. Along with pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation, you can safely rejuvenate and replenish energy.
​
​​Ideal if you are new to yoga and also if you are an experienced practitioner.
