These sessions are all about Restorative Yoga, and Yoga Nidra...
Hamsteels Community Centre, Western Avenue, Esh Winning, Durham, DH7 9LS.
Approximately once every other month,on Friday mornings 10am-11.30am. See the "Book Now" link for the current schedule. Or "Join our mailing list" to hear of future dates.
Restorative Yoga uses props like bolsters, cushions, blankets, and blocks, to support the body fully in gentle postures, allowing us to stay for 5-10 minutes in each position.
This helps to deepen the stretch, releasing deep seated tension, and it giving us time to truly experience the full benefits of each posture. This style of yoga is very slow, low to the ground, and deeply calming and restful.
We will spend around 1 hr in total on Restorative Yoga.
We will end the session with an extended Yoga Nidra- a guided deep relaxation just like we enjoy at the end of each Hatha Yoga class, but twice as long! Time for you to really deepen your experience, and fully enjoy the benefits of switching off completely from day to day life. Our deep relaxation will take approx 30mins in total.
Following the session, we will enjoy a hot drink and a piece of cake (included in your fee) in the cosy cafe area at the venue. A chance to chat and enjoy coming back to reality slowly!
You will need to be warm for these sessions so please wear layers. The room is nice and warm, but as we are lying still on the floor, rather than exercising, you will need to be dressed in warm comfy clothes.
Please bring with you either a yoga bolster (these can be bought on websites such as Yoga Mad and Yoga Matters), or 2 or 3 firm pillows.
You will need:
-Bolster or Pillows as above
-A yoga mat (or 2 for cushioning if preferred)
-Yoga blocks if you have them (I have limited spares)
-1 or 2 blankets (I have limited spares)
All are welcome. You will need to be able to get up and down from the floor, but otherwise all abilities can benefit from these sessions. No previous experience necessary.
These sessions are for anyone looking to slow down, take a break from the busy-ness of life, and find deep rest in body, mind, and heart.
This session lasts 1.5hrs with time afterwards for Tea and Cake. This is included in your fee, and everyone is very much encouraged to stay and enjoy time to chat with like-minded people, and come back to the world slowly.
£25 per session - booked individually via the link below.
I'd love for you to join us for this deeply restful and truly restorative experience.
