Relaxing and inspiring monthly workshops. Let's honour our natural need to pause and rest!
May's theme: CANCELLED Sleep
We each have a well of peace within.
In this lovely extended session we will take practices of gentle movement, pranayama, acupressure and, of course, restorative postures finishing with a deep, relaxing yoga nidra. These practices will help regulate our nervous system if we’ve been stressed or stuck in ‘doing’ mode.
The workshop will offer ways back to our essential peace, replenishing the yin essence within. This helps us feel calm, grounded and content.
You may also learn poses or techniques to use at home when sleep is out of reach.
June's theme: Summer & the Fire Element
"Elizabeth held a truly peaceful and restorative practice, enabling me to feel held and supported. Blissful." - Ellie
We will take restorative postures and hold them for some time, supported by props including bolsters and blankets. The sequencing supports the release of muscular tension and natural expansion of the breath.
Restorative yoga invites a journey inward - you will be held in a peaceful and safe environment with periods of silence, and guided through a yoga nidra which can facilitate deep rest equivalent to sleep.
Our two-hour practice will be gentle and floor-based, suitable for most bodies.
I will offer optional hands-on adjustments, and a little neck and head massage to support relaxation.
Our practices will include:
Seated poses and mudra
Pranayama - Breath practices to enliven and relax
Restorative postures to gently release tension and balance the nervous system
Yoga nidra - nourishing guided relaxation
Bring yourself in clothes you can move in! Extra cosy layers are a good idea.
All props including mats are provided.
Please arrive 10 - 5 minutes before class starts so we can begin promptly. If you are late, please ring the bell.
Please let Elizabeth know of any injuries or conditions you're working with. You must inform her in advance if you are pregnant.
Please be aware that the studio is accessed by a flight of stairs.
There are changing rooms, toilets and a kitchen available for our use.
