A gentle flow & restorative yoga class
Flow and restore
Flow and restore weaves together a gentle flowing style of yoga with restorative yoga poses, meditation and breathing techniques. This combination, with self reflection supports your journey towards mind body wellness.
Yoga is designed to help to bring your body back into balance, by discovering and gently releasing hidden tension. When you access deep states of rest, and relaxation, you can begin to repair your nervous system, mind and emotions.
From a yogic perspective, illness begins at a subtle level and ultimately manifests at the physical level.
When we work to harmonise, release and balance the flow of subtle energy within, we can cultivate wellness, known as unity. When he energy flow is imbalanced, blocked or weak, illness and disease manifests as a reflection of separation.
The subtle body is composed of three systems. The energy channels, currents, and the energy centres. The main energy channel (central nadi) runs along the spine. For your body to be healthy, an unrestricted flow of energy (prana – conscious energy) is necessary.
We can stimulate, heal and transform the subtle body with yoga. By using different techniques such as, breathing methods, yoga poses, mudra’s and mantra’s.
Every living thing, including you, has an energetic frequency. With an awareness of the subtle energies within and around you, you can begin to feel and move through life more freely, with a sense of ease.
“Mindfulness helps you go home to the present and every time you go there and recognize a condition of happiness that you have, happiness comes.”

Vinyasa means “connection”. The connection is between movement and breath. In a vinyasa or yoga flow class we move through the postures smoothly and fluidly synchronising movement to the breath.
This style of yoga allows for lots of variety as the sequence will differ from class to class. All postures can be modified to suit different levels of ability. Vinyasa yoga flow classes are suited to people who like to have variety in their classes, focusing more on movement than meditation.
“When the breath wanders the mind is also unsteady. But when the breath is calmed the mind too will be still, and the yogi achieves long life. Learn to control the breath.”
