Deep Rest Friday - A cosy seasonal reset for body, mind and heart
As the nights draw in and the air turns crisp, give yourself permission to slow right down.
Deep Rest Friday is a monthly two-hour workshop designed to help you unwind, restore and sleep better through autumn and winter.
Expect gentle Yin Yoga, dreamy Yoga Nidra, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere with refreshments and a little surprise gift from me to you.
What Is the Deep Rest Friday Workshop All About?
These evenings are a soft landing at the end of a long week. I’ll guide you through:
-
Gentle Yin Yoga – long-held, floor-based postures to release deep tension, hydrate connective tissues and calm the nervous system.
-
Yoga Nidra (“yogic sleep”) – a guided journey into profound rest that supports better sleep, emotional balance and nervous-system regulation.
-
Seasonal reset – space to pause, breathe and carry a sense of calm back into daily life.
Why This Workshop Is Perfect For Colder Months?
Physical:
Eases stiffness, supports circulation, aids the body’s natural repair and bolsters immunity.
Emotional:
Reduces stress/anxiety and builds resilience when life gets busy.
Spiritual/energetic:
Time to turn inward, listen deeply and align with the quieter rhythms of autumn and winter.
What to Expect During the Workshop?
-
Arrive & Settle (5–10 mins) – tea, get cosy, choose props.
-
Soothing Yin Sequence (~60 mins) – hips, back, shoulders; slow holds with options for every body.
