Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga targets the bodies deep connective tissue as opposed to the superficial muscles targeted during a yang style class. Yin yoga is a wonderful compliment to more active forms of yoga and important to incorporate into our busy lives which can overstress the body and overload the nervous system. Yin counter balances by focusing on passive postures performed on the floor and is designed to slow the body down, so it can regenerate and rebalance, Emphasis is placed on relaxing into a posture as opposed to muscle engagement . Yin softens the muscles and releases tension. Typically a Yin posture will be held for 3-5 minutes to allow this to happen. Yin is a wonderful way to go deeper into the experience of yoga as we rest in more meditative states allowing us to observe at a deeper level sensations and feelings , providing a opportunity to practice kindness towards ourselves. Yin helps stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system which regulates sleep, calms and balances the body and mind, regulates energy, increased mobility, lowers stress, builds stamina, lubricates and protects joints, allows more flexibility, releases fascia and helps with TMJ and migraines.
Regular practice of Yin Yoga fosters deeper relaxation and can help manage anxiety and stress.

Restorative Yoga

Slow down. Soften your nervous system. Restore your whole being.

Give yourself permission to pause, let go and return to a place of calm.

Our Restorative Yoga class offers a nurturing space to step away from the demands of everyday life and give your body and mind the opportunity to rest and reset. Through gentle, fully supported postures, props and stillness, you'll be invited to release physical tension, quiet the mind and soften the effects of ongoing stress.

Restorative Yoga is more than simply stretching or relaxing. By reducing physical effort and creating an environment of comfort, support and safety, the practice can help calm the stress response and support nervous system regulation. It offers an opportunity to move away from the constant demands of doing and achieving, allowing space for rest, recovery and a deeper connection with yourself.

Reiki and sound healing are woven into the class, adding another layer of nurturing and relaxation. Gentle Reiki energy work and the soothing tones and vibrations of sound healing invite you to settle into stillness, release the day's distractions and reconnect with a sense of inner balance.

This is a practice of receiving rather than doing. There is no need to push, perform or achieve anything. Simply allow yourself to be supported, breathe naturally and experience the restorative benefits of slowing down.

Suitable for all experience levels, this class is an invitation to care for your nervous system, replenish your energy and create space for your body and mind to recover from the busyness of life.

Come as you are. Be held in stillness. Leave feeling calmer, nourished and reconnected.
