HOSTED BY JENNIFER HEPTON

It's time to release layers of tension and restore. In this workshop Jennifer will use lots of cosy props and cushions to guide you through restorative poses with a focus on rejuvenating the body and mind. This workshop is open to all fitness levels and also Mums-to-be. It will be especially beneficial to those suffering from insomnia and stress. Take home the knowledge of how you can recreate mindfulness and relaxation at home to nourish your body with a semi-retreat anytime!

In Restorative Yoga, we place the body in comfortable supported positions to conscious shift the body into a Relaxation Response, a physiological state characterized by a slower heart rate and breathing rate, lower blood pressure and slower brain wave patterns. This allows the central nervous system to relax, and the body is able to release long-held layers of tension. Surrendering to the intelligence of the body, consciously and unconsciously, the body is able to restore back to health. Taking time each day to relax and renew is essential to living well, especially when living in one of the world's busiest cities.

For one day only the UK's favourite online destination for stylish activewear and wellbeing inspiration, Hip & Healthy, will be coming to our studios! Make sure you pop by to take advantage of exclusive offers (all clothes are 10% off) and check out the new collections available for Summer!

HOSTED BY ANDY PAGE

Mats, straps, blocks and cushioned props will be provided. All levels are welcome.
