Beginner/ Open Level Yoga Nidra is an incredible and subtle practice to nourish the mind and body. Nidra - meaning sleep, refers to reaching this yogic sleep state or the Alpha state in which the body is at full relaxation. Research shows that this state can be even more restful than sleeping itself. The practice helps to bring about more balance and harmony and has the potential to create a greater sense of awareness for the individual with a regular practice. Yoga Nidra helps to unwind, by taking time out and allowing yourself to be guided through verbal instructions letting the body and the mind relax deeper |

Yoga by the sea
The classes that I run are relaxed and friendly.
Not too serious and hopefully people leave the class feeling more energised and positive. I never push people and allow time and breath to help them find the strength, the releases and the shapes within the practice that suit where they are on that day. Barbara. Devonport |
