Restorative Yoga beckons us into a caring environment where the focus is on embracing the present moment, valuing BEING over incessant doing.

Imagine strolling along a trail leading to a forest studio, enveloped by the soothing sounds of nature. This environment is the ideal place to reset your whole being, allow me to nurture and restore you. During this session, we prioritise moments of deep rest and relaxation, cradling the body with the gentle support of props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks. It's a purposeful shift from the hustle of the stress state (sympathetic nervous system) to the tranquility of a calm state (parasympathetic nervous system). It represents a deliberate transition from the busyness of the stress state (sympathetic nervous system) to the tranquility of a peaceful state (parasympathetic nervous system).

This practice is more than just a means to settle the body into relaxation; it gently guides the mind toward a tranquil stillness. By embracing postures for extended periods in a supported manner, we not only foster relaxation but also build strength and flexibility safely. The restorative sequence gracefully moves the spine through twists, forward bends, backbends, and inversions.

As you emerge from this experience, you'll find yourself not only deeply relaxed but also infused with a renewed sense of energy. These effects are not fleeting; they can linger, offering you a lasting sense of well-being for a day or even more.

To finish our session, we share in gentle conversation whilst sipping herbal tea and indulging in homemade dairy-free healthy cake, creating a perfect conclusion to our time together and a bridge back to the outside world.

Controlled breathing exercises help you engage in diaphragmatic breathing, which has been shown to decrease cortisol levels and promote a sense of calm. By integrating mindfulness and meditation practices, you can cultivate greater awareness of your bodily sensations and emotional states, supporting the management of stress, anxiety, and chronic pain.
