Restorative Yoga
A floor-based practice where we use props like blankets and bolsters to fully support the body in a range or poses. Each class incorporates some meditation, gentle warm ups and then a series of restorative poses. With the intention of creating total relaxation. In this fully relaxed state your body is then able to heal and repair and your nervous system is calmed. This slow and mindful practice helps greatly with stress, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue and can make space to think more creatively and clearly. Every class is adapted for your needs and modifications are offered throughout; everyone is welcome.
Monthly workshops at Energy For Life, Brighton or Online
