When we deliberately carve out moments for conscious rest, we give our nervous system the chance to shift from “fight‑or‑flight” to “rest‑and‑digest,” allowing hormones, muscles and brain cells to recalibrate. This deeper reset reduces chronic stress, sharpens mental clarity, boosts immune function, and cultivates a sense of calm that lingers long after the session ends.
This Restorative Rest Session weaves together three proven pillars of renewal: breathwork that clears mental fog and balances heart rate variability; guided relaxation that gently dissolves tension and rewires anxiety pathways; and restorative yoga that lengthens, opens, and nourishes the body without strain. By setting aside just a little extra time for these practices, you’ll discover a reservoir of energy and resilience that sleep alone can’t provide.
Suitable for anybody who can easily lower themselves on to the floor and lay in passive holds using an array of props such as bolsters, blocks and blankets. You’ll be invited to settle into each pose for up to five blissful minutes, allowing the body to fully surrender and the mind to ease into deep tranquility. No trembling legs, complicated stretches or gritted teeth! Because the postures are held for an extended, comfortable duration, you’ll have the space to notice subtle shifts in your body, mind, and breath, cultivating a restorative hug.
