Yoga

Sivananda is a form of Hatha Yoga, a traditional form in which the training focuses on preserving the practitioner's health and wellness. Sivananda yoga revolves around relaxation, meditation, breath work, and physical practice (working at each individual's level), emphasising full yogic breathing.

It also aims to retain the body's vitality and decrease the chance of disease by simply and naturally cultivating the body.

Classes average 90 minutes and typically follow the below format

• Practitioner resting in relaxation

• Breathing exercises

• Sun Salutations (Spinal Movements)

• 12 Basic Postures (can include variations)

• Final Relaxation

Each person learns the same practice at a level appropriate for them, tailored to their needs and requirements.

Restorative Yoga

Restorative Yoga: Deep Rest for Body and Mind

If you're feeling tired, overwhelmed, stressed, burnt out, recovering from an injury, or simply in need of a moment to step away and reset, Restorative Yoga offers a sanctuary of rest, nourishment, and relaxation.

Using props such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks, this practice supports your body in gentle postures held for longer periods, allowing you to fully relax and rest. Restorative Yoga is as transformative for your body as it is for your mind, providing a unique opportunity to disconnect from the busyness of daily life and experience deep rest and renewal.

The poses are specifically designed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to counteract the constant "fight or flight" response that modern life often triggers. This shift promotes profound relaxation and restoration, supporting your body and mind to a cellular level.

The class is infused with a calming atmosphere, setting the tone for true rest and recovery. Sessions typically conclude with a deep relaxation, leaving you feeling grounded and recharged.

In today's fast-paced world, where we're often overstimulated and rest-deprived, Restorative Yoga facilitates Nervous System Repair, offering a much-needed reset for your overall well-being.
