Restorative yoga is a slow, gentle practice using props (bolsters, blankets and blocks) to prop the body up in poses allowing the whole body to enter and remain in a deeply relaxed state. An active rest practice, there is no muscle contraction in restorative yoga with practitioners relaxing fully in the stretch so that tension can slowly be released.

Yoga Flow
This is an open level class.
Exploring body, mind and spirit through nurturing organic movements. Connect, condition, stretch, strengthen and release. Flowing with your own body awareness while developing a deep intuition.
Yin
Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasise internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine.
While initially, this style of yoga can seem quite passive, or soft, yin practice can be quite challenging due to the long duration of the poses. We can remain in the postures anywhere from one to twenty minutes!
Yin and yang tissues respond quite differently to being exercised. You need to experience this to really know what Yin Yoga is all about.
