The pace of the class is deliberately slow and gentle, allowing you to move with ease and to focus on your breath and body sensations. We stay close to the ground, with none or few standing poses. All poses can be changed and adapted if you, for example, need to stay off your hands or your knees.

By slowing down we get a chance to really feel what is going on and focus on alignment which allows for a safer and more comfortable practice. It helps improve our body awareness which has benefits extending far into our normal life off the yoga mat as well.

These classes are perfect for anyone who wants to move in a gentle way and work on their flexibility. Whether you feel limited by your body or are active somewhere else and want more holistic movement aimed at recovery and wellbeing.

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).
