What is Restorative Yoga? Imagine blissfully resting in a comfortable position, completely supported by cushions, blankets and yoga bolsters with your eyes covered with a soft eye pillow… warm, cosy, still and quiet….

Can you picture yourself? That’s it. Voila! Restorative Yoga. People often say “but I’m not flexible enough to do yoga”. This makes me smile, it’s like saying; “but I’m too dirty to take a bath!”

Just about anyone can participate in yoga, and particularly Restorative Yoga because it’s not about stretching our body, it not about trying to achieve anything, it isn’t about pushing ourselves to DO anything, or BE anything…. it’s simply about resting. Letting go and doing less rather than more.

Why? Because the resting state is important. It’s just as important as sleep (and no one can really argue with the importance of sleep). Rest produces a distinctly different chemical state in the body compared to sleep. In a deeply restful state, the unique blood chemical signature signals to our nervous systems to down-regulate and move into a ‘parasympathetic’ state.

Curious? At Yoga at Durras our first offering of the new year is a restorative half-day mini yoga retreat.

The movement workshop is coupled with Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra, providing the opportunity for personal reflection and to ‘go within.’ Working with the concept of ‘Sankalpa’ through Yoga Nidra (guided meditation practice) we allow our aligned intentions to emerge from a place of deep rest.

The morning will unfold as follows:
9am Pranayama (Breath-work)
9.30am Fluidly moving, but gentle Vinyasa (breath-based) practice (1.5hrs)
11am Morning Tea (a delicious plant-based morning tea will be provided)
11.30am Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra (guided mediation) 2 hrs

Saturday 11th January 9AM - 1.30PM

I think we can all agree that it has been a big year. With a sigh of relief, we’ve made it to the end of another year and managed to rise to all of it’s precious challenges….

For me these days in-between Christmas and New Year are sacred. They’re about down time, self care, breathing and gentle processing. And allowing ourselves to feel all of the emotions that have emerged over the past months, weeks and days. Yoga can be a beautiful accompaniment at this time of year. It allows space for reflection and gives permission to ‘go within’.

I can’t help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for our beautiful, small but vital yoga community at Durras and also simply just to be here, (alive)! at the dawn of another new year, full of thanks for wellbeing, family and community.

Thank you to all our yoga devotees for your presence, persistence and energy. Wishing you a wonderful, safe and abundant 2025

Love & Light ###
