This afternoon offers a wonderful opportunity to retreat, allowing yourself to relax deeply and engage in nurturing and compassionate rest. We will explore some of the foundational principles behind Restorative Yoga including:
Yielding towards the earth - an active and conscious softening of the body.
Finding optimal breath support.
Using props such as blankets, cushions, and bolsters to provide profound support and exceptional comfort.
Learning to Be, and coming to experience Being as our natural home ground.
This experiential workshop will include iRest® Yoga Nidra Meditation as well as Restorative Yoga. Open to all levels – students, teachers, and anyone interested in Yoga, meditation, kindness and self-care.
"I have been offering The Big Relax on Waiheke Island where I live for many years, and I am so excited to be bringing it to Auckland and the beautiful Yoga Ground."
What to bring?
As this is a Restorative Yoga workshop, Neal asks that you bring some extra props for this afternoon. We have enough blankets at Yoga Ground for 2-3 each and also one bolster each. If you can please bring up to 2-3 blankets (or more!), a couple of extra cushions (such as you may have at home on a sofa), and if you have a bolster bring that, and a soft scarf for covering eyes.
