A deeply relaxing form of yoga that turns on the body’s natural healing response, by combining gentle poses with conscious breathing.
It provides many of the benefits of yoga but without the effort, so it’s perfect for times of low energy, fatigue, menstruation, stress, illness or injury, or when you’re just so busy that all you want to do is nothing!
Restorative yoga helps to rejuvenate your nervous system, revives depleted energy, and guides you to listen to your body and work with your energy, rather than against it.
We will use bolsters, blocks and cushions for support, so that your muscles feel safe to let go. Poses are all lying or seated, and are held for 5-20 minutes. Once you’re settled comfortably into a pose, all you have to do is be still, breathe, and relax…

Breathing is a core element of yoga practice. Yogic breathing, refers to conscious and controlled breathing that matches the rhythm of yoga postures.
There are also breathing exercises people can practice independently of movement.
Some yogic breathing techniques are simple and safe enough to try at home, while other techniques ideally require the guidance of a trained teacher.
