*UPDATE MARCH 2025*
The yoga studio I called home for almost 3 years has closed giving just 4 days notice! Sadly all in person Yoga is currently suspended until I can arrange a new venue, I am truly sorry, and cant wait to be back teaching this class. (The Sunday Restorative class is running online in a small groups of 8 for a 'Cams & Cans on' class from May 2025)

​Life can be full on right?
Lets be honest, our modern lives are becoming ever more complex. Sometimes we’re just so busy? stressed? anxious? (All of the above?) We’re racing along to the next thing and the next or we are stuck ruminating on whats been......
Phew!
​
We come to Restorative yoga to give a little back to ourselves, to take a little time to send a message to ourselves that we do care about us, and we do care about feeling good.
Let’s take a tiny pause, relax, and feel a little more grounded.
There’s no flexibility contest here, no sweat, just an opportunity to taste a little stillness, to hold the Yoga poses a bit longer and maybe find that point in our deep fascia where all that built up tension likes to hide and then we can…… exhale, and…… release...
​​
Restorative yoga can sometimes be confused or mislabelled as a slow-flow practice, where students are simply moving through Hatha poses at a leisurely pace. But true restorative yoga is different; we focus on stillness and down regulation of the nervous system, with each posture held for an extended period to encourage deep release. In our class, you’ll explore around 4 or 5 poses, each one chosen to support rest and restoration, leaving space for the body’s natural healing processes.
It’s an honor to hold this space for everyone who joins.
Life is hard, and most of our “rest” these days happens while we’re asleep or distracted by screens. Stillness of the mind is rare in the Western world, and that’s what I aim to offer here—genuine, peaceful rest bite .
For some, this practice becomes a weekly ritual; for others, it’s an occasional reset.
​There’s no commitment—simply book a class whenever you feel the need to rest and recharge.
​
During the class each of you receiving one to one Reiki 'boosts' from the qualified Reiki Master.
.​You can expect most of our postures to be done lying on our mats, so​ wear what’s comfortable to you

What others have said....
"Olivia's classes have offered me the space to relax my mind and body. I feel safe in the space to reconnect and go within in an ambiance set with beautiful sounds that feel healing. Olivia's gift is her ability to enable her small intimate classes to bask in 75 mins suspension of the outside world and focus on the experience of letting go. She uses her intuition,her care and commitment to create a harmonious setting so we can all tune in. I'm so grateful to be able to attend on such a regular basis"
