Deep Rest - Restorative Yoga

Deep Rest is the perfect opportunity to press pause, rest and replenish. You will be transported, through the medium of form, breath and mindful awareness, to a place of deep relaxation and inner peace. It's in this quiet place of stillness that the magic of healing happens!

What is Restorative Yoga?

Restorative Yoga is a special type of yoga based on the yoga tradition of B.K.S. Iyengar. Unlike other forms of flowing yoga, Restorative Yoga is a quiet, reflective and mostly passive and meditative practice.

A Restorative Yoga class typically includes only 5 - 8 poses supported with props and held for anywhere from 10 - 15 minutes. Gentle backbends, forward bends, twists and inversions are used to invite full relaxation of body and mind. Classes may include an additional deep relaxation practice known as Yoga Nidra.

Students are cradled, cushioned and supported by bolsters, blankets and cushions so they can comfortably let go and relax. The longer holds elicit what’s known as the Relaxation Response and allows the nervous system to fully decompress and recover from chronic daily stress and tension.

Classes run throughout NSW school terms during 2023. One make-up class will be offered during school holidays.
