Rest, reset, and deeply restore with calming practices designed to support your body and mind.
Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra offer a gentle yet powerful way to release tension, improve sleep, and create space for deep relaxation. This class is ideal for anyone looking to slow down, reduce stress, and reconnect with themselves in a peaceful and supportive environment.
What is it?
Restorative Yoga is a slow, nourishing practice that uses props such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks to fully support the body in restful poses. Each posture is held for several minutes, allowing your nervous system to settle and your body to soften.
Yoga Nidra, often called “yogic sleep,” is a guided meditation practice usually done lying down in complete comfort. It helps bring the body into deep rest while the mind remains gently aware.
Together, these practices create a deeply calming experience that supports physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
