Let us welcome you to 3 hours of combined Yin and Restorative practice, on a relaxing, Spring afternoon. Followed by a nourishing and delicious home-cooked supper. There’s no better way to end your weekend, and reset for the week ahead!

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 each held for several minutes. 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.

Yin Yoga is a slow-paced and meditative style of yoga that primarily focuses on passive stretching and the release of tension in the body’s connective tissues, such as ligaments, tendons, and fascia. Unlike more active and dynamic forms of yoga, Yin Yoga involves holding poses for an extended period of time, typically ranging from 3 to 5 minutes or even longer. This prolonged stretching allows for a deep and sustained release of muscular and emotional tension.

In this workshop, we combine the soft relaxation of Restorative Yoga, and the gentle, tension-releasing holds of Yin Yoga, to bring you a deep and calming 3-hours of practice, led by the lovely Kitty.

Kitty Billings

Kitty has lived a life infused with Yoga since she was a young teenager, she established the foundations for this moving art after being introduced to the practice by her mother. While studying a degree in Public Health she found herself adopting a regular practice of meditation through Arhatic Yoga and Pranic Healing. At the same time she discovered the dynamic Ashtanga Yoga practice and moved deeply into the Mysore form.

Since 2006 Kitty has traveled to India, Indonesia, New Zealand, UK, USA and Germany on several occasions to further educate herself in Yoga, Meditation, Pranic Healing, and Ayurvedic Medicine. She has explored several Ayurvedic therapy (Panchakarma) centres throughout the globe and has observed many methods of healing. Kitty’s passion is to share this knowledge of Ayurveda, Yoga and meditation and she regularly facilitates Yoga workshops and conducts one on one Ayurvedic lifestyle consults.

She is committed to engaging in nourishing work for the soul and finds herself collaborating with like minded souls who are equally dedicated to well being as she is. Kitty considers herself a constant student, embracing knowledge and wisdom through regular daily practices. On and off the mat, Kitty wishes to share a path full of humility, acceptance and joy.
