The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year and the start of astronomical summer. This pivotal moment in the Earth's journey around the sun has been celebrated by many different cultures and societies across the world for centuries!

In Restorative Yoga, the intention is to support you and your body in the effortless experience of prolonged rest, this helps to down-regulate your nervous system and shift you into a parasympathetic state. Whereas Yin Yoga intends to access deep connective tissue, such as fascia, ligaments and tendons, whilst still being a slower, relaxting practice of yoga.

Restorative yoga is a calming practice that relies on props such as blocks, straps, bolsters and blankets to support the body in poses for an extended period of time to create a passive release. As the name suggests, restorative yoga brings the body into a state of healing or restoration.

Yoga Nidra is sometimes referred to as ‘yogic sleep’ and is both a process and a state that takes you into the deepest states of rest and regeneration.
