Restorative Workshop

This course is held at various times during the year. Please contact us for expected dates.

Venue; Beenleigh Neighbourhood Centre, Mansfield Walk, Beenleigh.

Restorative yoga, with its emphasis on supported poses, allows the body to enter the deep, restful state it craves. When you stop agitating it by resting in a pose for a particular length of time, the body starts to repair itself. Restorative yoga provides healing for the body and the mind. It is especially useful when you need to eliminate fatigue and stress that our daily lives can unfortunately bring. It can also help you recover from illness and injury and will benefit those who suffer from depression or anxiety.

Yoga Nidra is often referred to as psychic sleep. Relaxation is something that we equate with activities like listening to music or walking in nature. Deep relaxation is something very different though. Deep relaxation can be achieved by participating in a Yoga Nidra guided meditation. It quietens your mind and releases physical tension in your body. In a state of deep relaxation, your heart beat and breathing slow down and your body and mind become deeply calm. We get to experience this beautiful meditation at the end of our restorative yoga session. Pure Bliss!

Blankets and straps are provided but please bring your own bolster. Bolsters can be purchased online from Yoga King, Stretch Now, iyogaprops and Bolster and Things to name just a few. You MUST have a bolster to attend the workshop.

Cost: $35 per person. For bookings see below.
