RESTORATIVE YOGA METHOD
-

Rest
All of the classes are designed to calm the nervous system and mind so that the body can enter the healing 'rest and digest' state - the parasympathetic nervous system. Only from a place of rest and relaxation, can we begin healing
-

Care
Through care and compassion, we move through all seated and lying down poses. Suitable for those with chronic conditions, exercise intolerance and dysautonomia, every class is carefully paced with optional suggestions
-

Inwards
Connecting to our inner world, we travel inwards through meditative and relaxation practices. These classes teach you to listen to your body and what it is telling you. Every class starts and ends with a relaxation practice. Yoga practice is for assisting with the meditative state, so we honour that here

Perfect! The Sanctuary Space is designed with beginners in mind. The classes are slow, gentle and guided step-by-step, helping you build confidence and connection with your body. Having said that, the classes are thoughtfully created around topics and themes, which should entertain those who are more experienced with yoga as well!
-
No special equipment is needed, just yourself. Sarah sometimes recommends common household items that can be used as yoga props, like cushions, blankets or a chair for support. Many of the classes are also bed-yoga friendly - you really can practice wherever you are!
-
Good news for those with sensitivities to music: the majority of the yoga classes contain no background music track. Sarah recommends putting on some gentle music you enjoy on a different device while taking the class. However, the guided meditation and Yoga Nidra tracks do contain background music - but versions with no music are available upon request.
