Yoga for Deep Rest is a slow, gentle and rejuvenating weekly practice to restore wellbeing and peace. 

 Together we will set and move with intention, and soothe the nervous system, with a combination of slow flow yoga and breathwork, restorative yoga poses, guided meditation practices and yoga nidra. 

Restorative yoga is a very gentle yoga practice in which you can expect to hold poses for 5-15 minutes. The focus is on stillness, breath and relaxation, and will often include a guided meditation. 

We use lots of props (blankets, pillows and bolsters) so you feel comfortable and supported to release tension in the body and mind, and encourage activation of the parasympathetic nervous system (our body’s healing “rest and digest” mode). 

Yoga nidra is an effortless and deeply relaxing form of “yogic sleep”. It is a completely guided meditation technique to take you into deep states of rest and regeneration. 

No prior yoga experience is necessary, just a sense of curiosity.

All welcome. Herbal tea will be offered at the end of each class.

Yoga for Deep Rest invites us to:

Embody slowness and rest deeply

Hold ourselves with intention

Balance the nervous system

Nourish our bodies and hearts

Connect with ourselves and others in community

“Treating each other and ourselves with care isn’t a luxury, but an absolute necessity if we’re going to thrive. Resting isn’t an afterthought, but a basic part of being human.” - Trisha Hersey, The Nap Ministry
