This is the perfect way to close the week and get ready for the weekend. W will practice Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra, practices that help you unlock different levels of relaxing, helping you to feel calm, refreshed and re-balanced. Take some time to look after YOU.

In Restorative Yoga, we allow our bodies to relax fully into each pose; you may feel a very mild stretch but our bodies will be supported the whole time allowing us to sink into a restful and quiet state of mind. We will hold each pose for between 4-10 minutes, incorporating deeply relaxing pranayama techniques (breathwork) to help us rest even further.

The workshop will finish with a Yoga Nidra practice. Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice that has been given the modern nickname of ‘yogi sleep’ however, we don’t actually fall asleep in a Yoga Nidra practice. Instead we enter a different state of consciousness and pure awareness. In the Nidra practices, I will guide you through a visualisation, all you have to do is lie there, listen, and let yourself go.

Yoga Nidra takes us on a journey through different frequencies of brainwaves, including our ‘deep sleep’ or DELTA brainwaves, except we are aware and awake the whole time. Studies have shown that practising Yoga Nidra can:

  • Improve sleep and ease insomnia
  • Improve cognition, learning and memory
  • Restore energy and prevent burnout
  • Reduce stress
  • Boost focus and mental clarity
  • Aid in emotional regulation

Research has also shown that just 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra is the equivalent amount of rest to four hours of sleep! Previous participants have commented on how well rested they feel after the workshop, some even describing its effects as out of this world.

This is the perfect way to close the week and get ready for the weekend. Take a step back from the busy-ness of world, switch off, and unlock out-of-this-world relaxation.
