restorative & Yoga Nidra

Everyone can benefit from slowing down and tuning into bodily sensations and the power of one's breath. Everyone has an inherent reservoir of energy that when accessed can assist with healing, shifting mind states and finding emotional balance. To have the tools to change body and mind states and to be able to let go of daily stressors is not an act of radical self care but an essential tool to thrive in life. This course is particularly good for beginners. It features progressive Yoga Nidra – a profound relaxation and meditation practice designed to access & release tension not only physical but also mental and emotional. Accessing the subconscious layers of the mind to reveal the root causes of tension, enhance creativity & improve concentration.

This course is particularly good for beginners, stiff bodies, recovering from injuries or wanting to start up yoga with solid foundations.

Yoga Beginners Course

General

Restorative & Yoga Nidra

These classes are a holistic blend of postures to destress and unwind. Guided breathing practices for healthy lungs and better breathing habits.

Yoga Nidra - deep relaxation to experience a meditative state which augments healing and rejuvenates the body & mind.

Postures called asanas are made accessible to you by either offering alternatives or supported options. Small class sizes make this an intimate gathering where you can derive from personalised input.

Even if your starting from scratch or returning to the mat after a break these classes will leave you revived and centred for your day ahead.

Thats great that you are thinking to support yourself through this with some gentle and rejuvenating Yoga.

Just let me know in advance of joining of any specific injuries or conditions and I will try my best to adapt and incorporate practices that take this into account. I like to plan ahead, so can offer variations and modifications to suit within the context of the class and its ongoing weekly progression. Consider if you need to start with a one to one first so we can assess where you are at & map a way forward.

What CLIENTS Say

I have been a student of yoga & meditation for many, many years and a teacher now for the last 7 years. I've been blessed with the most amazing teachers from various traditions who have each given me special gifts. I was so lucky to begin my 500 hour teaching journey with Pragyadhara this January in a restorative yoga, breathing and yoga nidra course at Kawai Purapura. This and the proceeding study have provided the gateway to the most phenomenal shift in my personal practice and teaching.

Pragyadhara embodies yoga for me. A font of traditional wisdom imparted with deep humility and expertise.

I am grateful for the opportunity I had in working with Pragyadhara. I will be back for more. You should too.
