Join me for Cosy Club at 9 pm on Zoom to do some yoga from your bed. I encourage you to be in your PJs, teeth brushed, and ready to wind down. You will enjoy gentle yoga poses, breathwork and vagus nerve exercises to calm your body and mind and down-regulate your nervous system, before getting into bed and being guided through 20 minutes of Yoga Nidra to send you off into the most restorative sleep.
Treat yourself to an early night on Sundays to give yourself an amazing start to your week! It will be like a big yogic slumber party with other like-minded folks doing Sunday self-care in community. LGBTQIA+ and disability friendly, this is an accessible class that welcomes every body; babies, children and other bed-sharers welcome!

Gentle Yoga & Yoga Nidra at Yogasara (In-Person)
Practice in person with Astrid at the iconic Yogasara studio in Montpelier on Fridays 5.30-6.30pm for Gentle Yoga & Yoga Nidra.
This accessible class is for people looking to gently release, reset and recharge after a long week, to de-stress and feel rejuvenated to move into their weekend with more energy and a sense of centredness.
Enjoy gentle yoga poses to stretch and release tension, improve flexibility, and ease stiff and achy joints and muscles after a long working week. The focus is not on strength-building (no planks in this class!) but on connecting to the body and breath through calming, mindful yoga poses.
As well as this relaxing movement practice, we will practice breathwork and vagus nerve activation exercises to reset and calm the nervous system and reduce stress and anxiety, before lying down to finish with 20 minutes of yoga nidra.

What is Yoga Nidra?
If you’ve never done yoga nidra before, some say it’s like an extended Savasana, but really it’s a lying down hypnotic form of guided meditation where the mind is brought into a trance-like state and the body is sent off to sleep.
Through breath awareness, body scans, visualisations and more, the experience of yoga nidra is a magical liminal state of consciousness where you linger in the deliciously creative, healing, and restorative place between wakefulness and sleep.
Excellent for those who find meditation challenging, but also a great compliment to a meditation practice. Ideal for people who find it hard to rest, be still, or fall asleep, it’s an incredible energy recharge which you can use to replace a power nap, and experience a sense of nurturing, peaceful rest.
