Restorative Yoga is a deeply soothing practise where we stay in floor-based poses for 5-10 minutes each and relax. This class is named Sleepy Yoga by my students because you bring pillows and blankets with you to truly rest, unwind and let go of the stress in your life. This class is great for anyone who wants to really care for their body and mind with the opportunity to rest and relax, but it is especially ideal if you struggle with anxiety, stress, poor sleep, or just feel you are constantly on the go and busy.This class is about stillness, not stretching. We let the body soften into squishy bolsters to help release muscle tension that you might be holding all day without even realising it!
You’ll leave feeling calm, connected, refreshed and ready for a great sleep. Restorative yoga helps you come out of fight or flight mode when you feel constantly on edge, overwhelmed, emotional and tense, and brings you into a state of calm by activating your Parasympathetic Nervous System.
Regular practise of restorative yoga may also help you in the following ways:
✅Improved sleep
✅Decreased anxiety/stress
✅Better mood
✅Mind feels less 'busy'
✅Find it easier to relax in other settings/at home.
This class also include a Yoga Nidra experience - which translates as 'Yogic Sleep'. In Yoga Nidra, I guide you through a practise of breathing and visualisation that can lead you into that lovely state of consciousness in between being wide awake and asleep. Yoga Nidra is a really beneficial practise of deep rest, leaving you feeling a sense of true peace.
