If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or simply in need of rest, this course offers a calm, nurturing space to reconnect with your body, your breath, and restore a sense of inner peace.
Unlike many fast-paced or achievement-focused yoga classes, this practice is intentionally slow, adaptable, and supportive. It is suitable for all bodies, regardless of age, fitness level, or experience. You are encouraged to rest or modify as needed—this is your space.
Why Slow Down?
In today’s fast-paced world, slowing down is essential for wellbeing. Research shows that conscious breathing and mindful movement can regulate emotions, reduce stress hormones, and create a greater sense of calm and inner safety.
Autumn is an ideal time to begin this practice. As the seasons shift, connecting with the breath helps to prepare for winter, supporting the mind to feel steadier, less anxious, and less low in mood.
Who This Course Is For
Anyone feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained
Carers, therapists, or space-holders needing time for themselves
People experiencing burnout, transitions, or sleep difficulties
