Restorative yoga
WHAT IS RESTORATIVE YOGA?
Restorative Yoga is a gentle and nourishing practise, which enables the entire system to slow down, allowing for healing, relaxation and self-nurturing to occur.
During a restorative yoga practise the body is placed into lush, supported positions using a variety of props.
As the body yields to the support all effort dissolves and the nervous system is calmed, physical tension and stress melt away;
and the mind becomes still and quiet.
The session is made complete by drawing on the wisdom of mindfulness,
a practise allowing you stay fully present to all that arises throughout the session.
Walk away feeling nourished, at peace and back home to yourself.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Some kind words
Star has an amazing ability to create a safe, nurturing space where my nervous system can deeply and fully relax. Star is passionate about self care and self nurturing, and not only cares for, and nurtures her clients in the class, but teaches just how important it is not to be a martyr and stay in an uncomfortable place, but rather to care and love yourself with full compassion. Star's restorative relaxation class has taught me more about how important it is to 'nurture the nurturer' and to be kind to myself.

"Star's Restorative Yoga classes have been the gift of a Self care practice amongst the busy-ness of life. Rest. Peace. Stillness. Space. Depth. Star genuinely wishes to and succeeds in guiding you deep into your soul to find the omnipresent stillness within."

Star's classes are a gift in my week and when I arrive I immediately enter a space of gentle healing.
She has set up a practice that deliberately leads our bodies to shift from Sympathetic Nervous System Innervation/Fight or Flight/Inflammatory response to Parasympathetic Activation/Rest and Digest/Repair mode. She does this consciously with a blend of modern and yogic wisdom and feminine strength.
You will walk out of her class feeling loved, rested and restored.
