🌿 What is Restorative Yoga? 🌿
In a world that constantly asks us to do more, achieve more, and rush from one thing to the next, Restorative Yoga offers something beautifully different...

✨ Permission to simply be.
Restorative Yoga is a deeply relaxing practice where the body is fully supported with bolsters, blankets, and blocks, allowing you to settle into gentle poses and soak up the benefits. There's no striving, instead, your nervous system is invited to slow down, your mind becomes quieter, and your body begins to rest and repair.

Many people are surprised that doing so little can have such a profound effect. One of the most obvious benefits my students often mention is improved sleep, and also

🍃 Deep relaxation and reduced stress
🍃 Lower blood pressure and heart rate ( people measure this on their smart watches!)
🍃 Relief from anxiety and overwhelm
🍃 Reduced muscle tension and chronic pain
🍃 Improved energy levels through genuine rest
🍃 Support for your immune system and overall well being

Restorative Yoga is one of the most accessible forms of yoga because the props do the work of supporting you.
Sometimes the most healing thing we can do is to stop trying so hard and allow ourselves to receive.

✨ If your body has been asking you to slow down, perhaps it's time to listen and Restorative Yoga at The Yoga Studio is especially lush, with a toasty warm room and lots of bolsters and blankets.

I've found this style of yoga has had profound effects for me and helps me live well with Addison's disease. Many of my students have also found it beneficial during cancer recovery.

🍃 If you're ready to experience deep rest and discover how restorative yoga can support your wellbeing, I'd love to welcome you to class. Come and give yourself permission to pause, breathe, and simply be.

Classes on Wednesday 10.30 am at The Yoga Studio, Devonport

🌿 Thinking about trying yoga but feeling a little nervous? 🌿
Perhaps you've been telling yourself...

"I'm too stiff."
"I'm too overweight."
"I'm not fit enough."
"Everyone else will know what they're doing."

If that's you, I'd love to reassure you... this class is exactly who it's for. 💚

My new Iyengar Yoga for Absolute Beginners course has been created for people who have never done yoga before or who want to start again in a safe, supportive environment.

With a maximum of 6 students, you'll receive plenty of individual guidance and encouragement. We move step by step, learning the foundations of yoga at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Iyengar Yoga uses props such as blocks, belts and blankets, making the poses accessible no matter your age, size, strength or flexibility.

You don't need to be flexible to begin... that's one of the wonderful benefits that comes with practice. 🌱

Over the course you'll:
🧘 Build strength and confidence.
🌸 Improve your balance and posture.
🍃 Increase your flexibility and mobility.
💚 Feel calmer, more resilient and connected to your body.
✨ Discover that yoga can actually be fun!

I've been teaching yoga for over 25 years, and nothing gives me greater joy than seeing someone walk into their first class feeling anxious and leave a few weeks later standing taller, smiling more, feeling fitter and stronger.

📩 Send me a message if you'd like to know more or reserve one of the six places.

Course begins on Monday 27th July for 8 weeks
11:15 - 12:30pm
at The Yoga Studio a private studio in Aramoana Avenue, Devonport.
