Welcome to grace & glow. We are passionate about bringing everyone together with the power of yoga.

Description

Come unwind in this delicious, deeply nourishing and grounding practice of Yin & restorative yoga paired with a dreamy yoga Nidra.

More on the practices we will be using:
Yin Yoga: Yin yoga is a relaxing and grounding form of yoga which consists of slow and sustained stretching that accesses the deeper tissues of the body. Originating from TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) We will explore holding postures for several minutes, all are incredibly gentle but require some work to find your ‘edge’ and will help the body unwind and prepare for rest. All postures are close to the ground and can reverse chronic patterns of tension lodged within the body's tissues. It brings balance to the internal organs and improves the flow of chi or prana in the body alongside releasing your fascia to improve flexibility and joint mobility.

Restorative Yoga: Unlike Yin where we have ‘an edge’ meaning we are engaging the body whilst relaxing, in the restorative postures we will completely relax the body, holding no edge or focus, just welcoming in rest and complete melting and letting go of the body and mind.

Yoga Nidra: Yoga nidra or yogic sleep is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the "going-to-sleep" stage , typically induced by a guided meditation. There is evidence that yoga nidra helps relieve stress, and 45 minutes of nidra is equivalent to 4 hours of deep sleep. We will practice our Yoga nidra in shavasana or any restorative posture that suits your body. Nothing is required of you but to just be.

This class is Pregnancy friendly (just let us know in advance)
