Description

Restorative yoga is all about slowing down, letting go, and allowing the body and mind to deeply rest. Unlike more active styles of yoga, this practice uses long-held, supported poses to invite stillness and encourage gentle release.

With the help of props like bolsters, blankets, blocks, and straps, we create shapes that feel safe and nurturing—allowing tension to melt away over time. Each pose is held for several minutes to give the nervous system a chance to reset and the body space to truly restore.

I, Ylva, may guide you through calming breathwork or simple meditations throughout the class, supporting your journey inward. The pace is slow, the atmosphere peaceful, and the focus is on presence, softness, and deep rest.

Restorative yoga classes are suitable for all levels of experience, including beginners, as the poses are gentle and accessible. They can be especially helpful for those experiencing stress, anxiety, or physical discomfort, as they offer a space for relaxation and restoration.

For this class bring your mat, a blanket and a pillow or bolster (if you don't have your own, email me and I will bring it for you).
