Restorative Yoga - The Practice
Restorative Yoga
An opportunity to pause, relax and restore body, mind and soul.
Take time to slow down and recharge with a deeply restful restorative yoga class. This gentle practice invites you to step away from the pace of everyday life, unwind and settle into a state of deep relaxation.
With a slower pace and longer-held poses, there is plenty of time to soften, release tension and experience the unique benefits of each posture. Guided breathing, meditation and visualisation help to quiet the mind, calm the nervous system and create space for rest and restoration.
Restorative yoga uses a range of supportive props, including bolsters, cushions, blankets, eye pillows and blocks. These props allow the body to feel fully supported, helping you to relax more deeply and let go of unnecessary effort and tension.
The entire class takes place on the floor and is gentle, nurturing and accessible, making it suitable for all levels and abilities. No previous yoga experience is needed, simply come as you are, settle in and give yourself permission to rest.
A chance to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with yourself.
Restorative Yoga with Crystals
A deeply relaxing practice designed to help you slow down, release tension and reconnect with a sense of calm.
Using gentle, supported restorative yoga poses alongside guided breathing, meditation and visualisation, you’ll be encouraged to rest comfortably and allow both body and mind to soften. Bolsters, cushions, blankets, eye pillows and blocks are used throughout to ensure you feel fully supported.
Each month, we also explore a different crystal, bringing its energy, qualities and symbolism into the practice. The crystal you work with during the session is yours to keep.
Suitable for all levels and abilities, this gentle practice takes place entirely on the floor with a focus on comfort, deep rest and restoration.
Restorative Yoga with Aromatherapy
Join us for a beautiful and deeply restful Aromatherapy Restorative Yoga experience, created to help you slow down, soften and fully unwind.
Anna from Aether & Light creates a unique essential oil blend for each session, with the oils thoughtfully chosen to reflect and align with the seasons and the natural cycles of the year. Each blend offers a different sensory experience, complementing the energy and intention of the season.
Every participant receives their own personal bottle of the seasonal blend to use during the guided practice and take home afterwards.
Restorative Yoga with Yin & Pin
Completely relax and let Acupuncturist Abbi Lampard nourish your mind, body and soul in this deeply restorative Yin & Pin session.
We’ll begin as usual with an hour of gentle, restorative Yin Yoga with Lou, allowing the body and mind to gradually soften and unwind.
During the final relaxation in Savasana, Abbi Lampard will enhance your experience with a soothing acupuncture treatment, taking relaxation to a whole new level.
Abbi is a Senior Physiotherapist and Acupuncture Lead at RHCH, Winchester, bringing her expertise and gentle approach to this unique and deeply relaxing experience.
Come, switch off, breathe deeply and give yourself permission to completely let go.
This really does take relaxation to another level!
Restorative Yoga with Sound & Meditation
Nada Yoga is called the “yoga of sound.” Through breathwork, movement and immersive sound, we calm the nervous system and quiet the mind.
Nada Yoga is an ancient practice originating from the Vedic texts. The Sanskrit word "Nada," meaning sound or vibration, Nada Yoga involves using sound vibrations, meditation and restorative yoga asanas.
The singing bowls will be placed on you at various points during the practice, creating a deeply immersive experience where sound and vibration are felt as much as they are heard. A beautiful way to use sound as a pathway into peace.
Please note, the session is not suitable for the following:
-
Pregnancy
-
Pacemakers or implanted electronic devices
-
Epilepsy
-
Recent surgery or acute injury
Vedic Rounding
Vedic Rounding is a beautiful, deeply restorative practice that brings together gentle yoga asana, pranayama and Vedic Meditation.
Each “round” is designed to gradually settle the body and mind, helping you move away from the noise and busyness of everyday life and towards a quieter, more grounded state. The practice is repeated at an unhurried pace, creating space for reflection, relaxation and connection.
With regular practice, Vedic Rounding can support the nervous system in releasing accumulated stress and create greater space for calm, clarity, energy and ease in everyday life.
Hatha Yoga
A return to the essence of yoga.
My Hatha classes honour the traditional teachings of yoga, bringing together breath, movement, meditation and deep relaxation to create a practice that nourishes both body and mind.
We move slowly using the breath as our guide. Through traditional postures (asana), conscious breathing (pranayama), meditation and relaxation, we create space to soften, release and come back to ourselves.
This is yoga beyond simply the physical practice a chance to quieten the mind, connect with the breath and find a little more stillness within.
Each class is welcoming and accessible, with options for all levels and an invitation to listen to your own body.

Retreats
A chance to step away from everyday life and give yourself a little more time and space to pause, reconnect and recharge.
My retreats bring together yoga, relaxation and wellbeing in beautiful, welcoming surroundings. Each experience is thoughtfully created to give you time for yourself, while also enjoying the warmth and connection of being part of a like-minded community.
Energy Healing with Ark
This is Ark's description of what to expect:
Prepare to be swept away by an unparalleled experience of deep relaxation and revitalisation. Feel the stresses of the world melt away as you immerse yourself in a cocoon of tranquility and renewal.
This isn't just your typical restorative yoga session – we've infused it with the ancient wisdom of Shamanic practices and other potent energy healing techniques.
While you're part of a group, we've curated the healing to suit your individual needs, making it an exceptionally tailored and empowering encounter.
We will start our session with Breathwork/Pranayama with Lou - to clear the mind and gentle stretches to prepare the body to lay down.
Followed by a group Sound bath session with Tibetan Singing Bowls, Ocean Drums and Koshi Chimes.
You’ll love the physical vibration of the individual Tibetan Bowl massage, where the Tibetan bowls are intuitively selected for your specific chakra/s.
You’ll receive individual Crystal Healing to help clear any blocked energies while balancing the Chakras.
This includes special Crystal Reiki using a sacred Geometry grid that will help you dive deeper into the journey while we prepare to take you through another layer of healing. This focused on manifestations of our intentions. We’ll place the Reiki-charged Crystal from the grid on your body so that you can continue to work with it and integrate the healing received.
As you lay grounded with crystals, you’ll love diving deeper with the vibration of the Koshi Chimes.
We will conclude the session with individual powerful Reiki and 5D energy healing.
Finally, you will experience acoustic Binaural beats of 111 Hz which are created by combining the frequencies of the two forks. 111 Hz has been found in caves and ancient temples around the World. It creates a bright and uplifting feeling
