Gentle Yoga For Days End - Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra
A gentle class for all levels, focusing on the breath and it's amazing ability to calm, open and heal. The focus is to observe the mind and body when we slow down, taking the time to notice rest in the body (or unrest!), learning how to let go of tensions, and beginning to quieten that 'monkey mind' through mindful awareness.
Perfect for almost everyone, even those struggling with physical issues/injuries, anxiety or depression.
Modifications offered for all postures. A variety of 'props' may be used including bolster or pillow, blankets, eye pillows, blocks, straps and balls.
Yoga Nidra or a long Savasana will complete this restorative class. Nidra provides an even deeper level of restoration in the body through intentional guided meditation. You will feel incredibly rested following this practice, preparing you for your days ahead.
