Welcome to practise slow restorative yoga in December online.

As the weather gets colder and rainier as well as evenings darker earlier, it’s time to soften and slow down. I’m offering this course (or 4 individual classes) for you as an opportunity to restore and rebalance your body and mind during the darkest (and perhaps the busiest) months of the year.

These classes consist of four 75-minute restorative yoga classes held online through Zoom, so you can join these classes from the comfort and warmth of your home and not spend any time travelling to a yoga studio. You can purchase only one class or choose to do all four (recommended) classes to nourish your mental and physical body.

This practice is about opening and softening. This course and classes are for the calmer, more present mind, lowering the blood pressure, stress hormone release, better digestion, restful sleep as well as elevating & stabilising mood. The yoga forms are long and passive and they are focusing on the listening, sensing and softening of the body and mind. If you are stressed, over-worked or suffering from anxiety or a burn-out, this course or a class might come in handy for you.

This course or individual classes are for all body types, all ages and identities. The forms used are gentle and soft and can be adapted to all people at all levels of health and fitness. You may use your own yoga props like bolsters or blocks if you have them, but your normal homey pillows, planets and chairs will do just fine too! Big books also work as blocks, believe it! You do not need a yoga mat, since you can just practise on a mat on the floor or even on your bed.

Trauma-informed practises are used during these classes, which means all the queues are invitations and you are welcome to listen to the information from your own body to amend the practice for your needs. You may keep your video on or off, practise with your own music or just practise in silence.

Book your spot for the entire course for a discounted price or book a single class for a drop-in price. Email or text on Whatsapp to Hanna to let her know you’d like to attend!
