Rest + Restore Yoga Workshop with Paula Hines
Restorative yoga, Yin, breathwork and guided relaxation for deep rest.
About this workshop
Rest + Restore is an invitation to step out of constant activity and give your system time to settle. Paula’s monthly workshop brings together contemplative practices that support rest, balance and a quieter pace.
Grounded in restorative yoga, the session may also include Yin, breathing practices, meditation, yoga nidra and guided relaxation. Props support the body so that effort can soften and each position can be held comfortably.
Some practices feature in Paula’s book, Rest + Calm: Gentle yoga and mindful practices to nurture and restore yourself, available from reception.

What you’ll experience
If time allows, arrive a little early and settle into our welcoming reception area with a complimentary herbal tea before the workshop begins.
We provide mats, bolsters and blankets. Wear warm, comfortable layers, as the body can cool during longer periods of stillness, and arrive around ten minutes early to settle.
The session is quiet and floor based, with plenty of support from props and clear alternatives where needed. You are encouraged to work within a comfortable range and rest whenever you need to.
