Restorative Yoga | Fridays 10-11:30am

Friday mornings with Jessica at Lime House offer an opportunity to slow things right down at the end of the week with her Restorative Yoga class. Her warm, nurturing approach creates a space where there is nothing to achieve and nowhere to rush to – simply time to settle, soften and give the body a chance to rest. Jessica brings a deep understanding of movement, recovery and the importance of meeting your body where it is, making this a welcoming class whether Restorative Yoga is already part of your practice or you’re discovering it for the first time.

 

*Please note, this is a largely floor based practice and you will need to be able to get up and down from the ground independently. If you have any other questions, please drop us an email on info@limehouseyoga.com

What is Restorative Yoga and what to expect from the class

Restorative Yoga is a gentle form of yoga that focuses on relaxation and rejuvenation. It involves holding poses for extended periods, with the support of props such as blankets, bolsters, and blocks, to allow the body to fully relax into each posture. The emphasis is on deep breathing and releasing tension from the muscles, rather than on active stretching or strengthening.

Restorative Yoga is designed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s “rest and digest” response. This can help reduce stress, promote better sleep, and enhance overall well-being. It is especially beneficial for individuals recovering from illness or injury, as well as those experiencing high levels of stress or anxiety.

During a Restorative Yoga practice, you will move through a series of poses that are held for several minutes each. The focus is on finding comfort and ease in each posture, allowing the body to relax deeply and the mind to become calm and centred.

Overall, Restorative Yoga offers a gentle and nurturing approach to self-care, making it accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels. It can be practiced as a standalone session or incorporated into a broader yoga practice to balance more vigorous or strenuous styles of yoga or physical activities.

An ideal session to relieve tension and stress and a great class for heading into the weekend after a busy week!
