Restorative yoga with Kora
Join us for a 2 hour session of gentle movement, restorative yoga poses and yoga nidra (guided meditation). The workshop will involve gentle movement to prepare the body for holding supported postures for 5-10 minutes. Each supported posture helps slow down the nervous system, thus helping to relieve the effects of chronic stress. We will finish with a lovely yoga nidra for ultimate relaxation.
