Course Information
In Restorative Yoga, we are amazed at how easily we change our perspective of time, it seemingly expands as we allow ourselves to… deeply relax, as we are completely supported in the poses; the body, mind, and emotions settle and release.
Restorative Yoga is a magical formula that brings serenity into your busy life. Lingering in poses where there is nothing to be done and nowhere to be, allows us to indulge in conscious rest. For many, it is a divine and nourishing experience with a myriad of physical and mental benefits.
This is a fully interactive and immersive training, tailored to those present. There will be loads of Restorative practice for each participant, so you’ll feel like you’ve been on retreat.
