Restorative Yoga
A blissfully relaxed state of “Being”, held on the New Moon and Full Moon throughout the year.
Restorative yoga is totally yummy and is a wonderful tool to have in your “self-care” kit. It is a joy to teach clients this practice using yoga props to help you glide into deep rest.
It is an “undoing” of learned patterns of holding, gripping, blocking and tensing. With practice, you begin to notice these patterns and consciously allow them to soften and release.
If you would like to join but have no experience of Restorative Yoga, please contact Carole to book a private yoga session and begin your restorative yoga journey. Once you know what is required and have a general idea of the flow of the class, you will be more than welcome to join our wonderful group.
“Carole creates a safe & friendly environment, giving hints and tips to all, to ensure that you stay injury free & get the maximum benefit from these Restorative Yoga poses. I always feel relaxed & chilled out at the end...”
Why it helps
Many of us have been living in “survival” mode with no let up for our overactivated nervous systems. Restorative yoga promotes a deep relaxation which encourages the nervous system to switch from “fight or flight” into “tend and befriend”.
The practice encourages a deep and friendly relationship with the ever-present breath. Connecting with the breath and the body brings you into the present moment, releasing the mind from its constant ruminations.
The benefits
