Mellow Mash Up

This series combines several of our favourite different styles of restorative yoga & gentle yoga. Some of our favourites to note being Restorative Aerial Yoga, Half Gentle/Half Restorative Yoga, Gentle Yoga into Restorative Yoga Nidra and more!
We are so excited to offer this array of different experiences that will infuse the nervous system with a sense of peace, calm and wellbeing. Restorative yoga is a style of yoga where we will utilize all of our props (bolsters, blocks, straps, blankets and eye pillows) to create a beautiful effortless style of practice. This slower paced in nature creates space for attuning to your body’s inner wisdom, promoting relaxation and inner balance.

We want you to learn more about that different styles of yoga that will be offered in this mash up! Scroll on down the page to get all the details!
Restorative Aerial Yoga
Restorative Aerial Yoga is a deeply healing, low to the ground, suspension practice in an aerial hammock. With the intention to restore and relax your nervous system, experience a deep pelvic release, decompression of the spine and lower back relief. Ally guides a meditative state as you relax into the support of the silks and sooth the entire nervous system. This class is super relaxing and perfect for beginners to aerial yoga. We will explore fundamentals including zero compression inversions while still feeling the support of the ground.
Restorative Yoga
A restorative yoga sequence involves only 5-8 poses that are experienced for 5-10 minutes each, supported by props that allow you to completely relax and rest. With as little effort as possible, the bolsters, blocks, blankets, and pillows (in this case, the aerial hammock) support you in light twists, seated forward folds, gentle backbends and more.
Ally and Laura guide you into a meditative/yoga nidra state as you relax into the support of the props and sooth the entire nervous system.
Gentle Yoga
The gentle and slower paced nature of gentle yoga creates space for attuning to your body’s inner wisdom, promoting relaxation and inner balance. Through, meditation, pranayama (breathing techniques) and postures you will be encouraged to become aware to your inner physical, mental, emotional, and energetic states. The heart of the class is a sequence of postures linked fluidly together that connects your movement with the pace of your breath. Whether you are looking to de-stress, stretch, move your muscles, cultivate inner resilience, or integrate meditation – this class will leave you feeling wonderful.
