Monthly
Restorative Yoga & Deep Relaxation, Online
First Friday of every month – classes start Friday 6th October
“I relax and cast aside all mental burdens” (Yogananda)
A sublimely relaxing session that brings balance and calm,and eases stress and anxiety. You are encouraged to relax fully and breathe into the postures, while being supported by bolsters and blocks (or pillows and cushions). It not only feels heavenly, but gives permission for muscles to soften and relax, increasing flexibility without strain. Supports the healing of physical and emotional stress-related issues. Takes us into the heart space where we can access our inner joy.
Based on Ananda Yoga, healing affirmations are used during the class to take our awareness more inwards.
A really good choice too for fibromyalgia, CFS, sleep issues and many other health issues. And for people who do too much! (pretty much all of us!)
Next classe 6th October 7pm – 8pm online

“I have participated on a variety of Nalini’s workshops and courses and loved them all! I could go as far as saying they have transformed my outlook on life: The herbal workshops have reconnected me to nature and opened my eyes to the chemicals in commercial products; her yoga and nidra have been the tonic to a fast paced life. However, Nalini has been much more then a teacher- I would definitely describe her as a life coach for women’s wellness! Thank you Nalini- look forward to another workshop”! (Vicki Fitzpatrick, teacher)
“Thank you for a wonderful morning of dance and yoga nidra. Every time it is a different experience and I take away new ideas and realisations. It is so enjoyable and revitalising, and unlike anything else” (Regular Dancemantra attendee)
