Restorative Yoga
The most supported practice. The body is held entirely by props so tension has nowhere to hide. Lit by candle, designed for deep rest.
Restorative yoga is for the day when even gentle effort feels like too much. The body is fully propped, the lights are low, and the practice asks nothing of you except attention. This is one of the most direct ways to teach the nervous system how to come down.
What a session looks like
Four shapes across seventy-five minutes. Each held for ten to fifteen minutes with props doing all of the work. The room is quiet and lit by candle. A long final rest with a blanket closes the practice.
Who restorative is for
People recovering from illness, injury, or burnout. New parents. People who have trouble sleeping. People who find seated meditation hard because the body is too restless. Restorative gives the body a job to do, which lets the mind settle.
After hours and sleep work
Some classes run later in the evening so the practice flows directly into the night. Many people drive home, eat something light, and sleep straight through.
Other practices
Breathwork
Slow, intentional breathing patterns that shift the body out of sympathetic 'fight or flight' and into parasympathetic rest. Held in small groups by candlelight.
