Begin the year with uplifting movement, deep rest, and mindful reflection.
This nurturing mini retreat weaves together slow Hatha flow, restorative yoga, and iRest yoga nidra to support calm, balance, and quiet joy — the perfect reset for body and mind as the new year unfolds.
🧘♂️ Take three hours to pause and recharge.
Part one: Ease in with a slow, mindful uplifting Hatha flow to release tension and awaken the body.
Part two: Sink into deep stillness through a soothing restorative yoga practice.
Part three: Conclude with iRest yoga nidra — a guided meditation for profound rest, clarity, and renewal where you will be guided towards connecting with your inner joy & happiness that is always present regardless of external circumstances.

**What should you bring?
Very little!
I want this to be as stress free for you as possible but if you want to bring your own trusty mat, feel free.
There is a mat, blankets, blocks and a bolster for each one of you but you might want to bring an additional cushion or pillow for extra comfort.
**What should you wear?
We practise in bare feet or socks but not trainers. We suggest you wear layers to take off and put back on.
During restorative yoga and guided meditation your temperature is likely to drop, so be aware that you might need additional layers during this practice.
A blanket is provided but consider warm socks and additional layers to keep your comfortable during iRest Yoga Nidra.
Beyond that wear clothes that allow you to move with ease, nothing too tight that restricts you and nothing too baggy that it shoots over your head!
