A Relaxing Way to Re-energise, De-Stress & Find Balance
See Class Schedule here



Restorative Yoga is a gentle and slower form of yoga that promotes deep relaxation, whilst holding the poses for longer periods of time, with the help of props.
The practice is intended to combat the physical and mental effects of everyday stress and helps ailments like headaches, backaches, anxiety, and insomnia through restful postures, pranayama (breath work) and sometimes guided meditation.
Classes are typically slow-paced with dimmed lights and the use of blocks, bolsters, eye masks, blankets, and more. This allows the body to let go. Common benefits include increased flexibility, deep relaxation of the body and mind, increased healing, enhanced mood, and more.
Restorative Yoga is derived from the Iyengar yoga tradition. Sometimes pain or injury may occur if you strain too hard in a pose. Restorative yoga adapts key poses using props and modifications, allowing the student to stay in the pose without pain or strain.
These poses promote deep relaxation, lessen stress in the body and help to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (our relaxation response) and can help people recovering from injuries or illnesses.
Our Restorative Yoga classes are effective for helping to reduce stress & anxiety, recovery from illness or injury, and taking you on a blissful journey to a state of deep relaxation & inner calm – physically, emotionally and mentally.

Restorative Yoga poses leave us nourished, soothed, deeply relaxed and well rested. It can also help with recovery from illness and injury and help manage depression and anxiety. Some of the reported benefits are listed alongside...
