Restorative Yoga

Restorative Yoga is for anyone wanting to relax and feel peace & calm within.

Learning to relax can be one of the most difficult skills to develop.

Whilst we may say we are relaxed we aren’t truly in a state of relaxation.

Our fast paced lives are in constant stimulation, stress and demands from society, technology, deadlines, activities and keeping up with life in general. This prolonged stress state on the nervous system (the fight or flight response) and being constantly “on” can be extremely taxing physiologically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Restorative yoga is about BEING rather than doing. Most of our lives are spent in movement, this practice invites you to become STILL

The practice of Restorative Yoga is completely different from
other styles of Yoga.

Restorative Yoga calms and activates the parasympathetic nervous system. It allows the body and mind to completely ‘let go’. Nurturing the nervous system to calm is essential, now more than ever, in reducing stress, improving health and digestion and calming the mind to balance and harmonise the WHOLE of YOU.

Restorative Yoga is for everyone, and no prior Yoga Experience is necessary.

What to expect in a Restorative Yoga session –

The poses (asanas) are held anywhere from 7 minutes to 20 minutes.
All poses are completely supported with props and are practiced lying or sitting on the floor.
Being comfortable for the entire practice, no physical exertion or striving. The focus is on opening and relaxing rather than stretching.
A cultivation of love, acceptance, patience and compassion is paramount.
The spine is gently moved in all directions, and all organs are gently stimulated and soothed.
Connection to the breath, the universal life force - Prana - that flows through our bodies, creating awareness for deeper breathing and relaxation

Such a transformative two hours of utter bliss and joy. The chemistry between Sami and Hayley is pure magic. Beautiful layering of Sami’s delicious healing voice guiding us through the most gentle and profound restorative poses textured with the exquisite harp and pipes and bowls and chimes and voice of the immensely talented Hayley. They create a truly nurturing environment allowing us to fully ground, absorb and release. I have been privileged to experience many afternoons hosted by these divine souls and always leave feeling fully reconnected to my truth and with my heart and soul filled with such love and peace. Thank you and can’t wait for the next one
