Yoga – Restore Rest Renew
This nurturing course combines the slow, mindful movement of Gentle Yoga with the deeply restorative practice of Yoga Nidra to help you unwind, reconnect, and restore balance in both body and mind. Throughout each session, participants slow down, breathe deeply, and move freely without pressure, judgement, or comparison.
First, Gentle Yoga links breath with movement through slow flows, supported stretches, and longer-held postures that improve flexibility, mobility, posture, and strength. Participants tune inward, develop greater body awareness, and build strength in a safe and supportive way. In addition, classes include pranayama (breathwork) and restorative practices that encourage stillness, calm, and ease.
Then, the second half of the session introduces Yoga Nidra, often called “yogic sleep,” a guided meditation practice that encourages deep physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. Yoga Nidra welcomes everyone and requires no previous yoga or meditation experience. Through gentle guidance, participants enter a restful state between waking and sleeping, allowing the body to deeply relax while the mind resets and restores.

As a result, this course suits older adults, beginners, those returning to movement after injury or illness, and anyone seeking a gentler, more restorative approach to yoga. Furthermore, the programme particularly supports people experiencing stress, anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep, or the ongoing demands of a busy life.
Experienced tutor Juliet Slogrove, a NZ Yoga Alliance registered teacher and accredited iRest® Yoga Nidra teacher, leads the programme with warmth and compassion, creating a welcoming environment where students can nurture mind, body, and spirit.

- If the tutor is unwell or unavailable to teach a single session, often at short notice, it is our preference to find a suitable relief teacher. If we are unable to do this then a session will be added at the end of the advertised course OR a credit voucher or refund for that session will be offered.
- Course prices may vary slightly between terms depending on the number of sessions (e.g. Term 3 may have 9 sessions, while Term 4 has 10). This is usually due to public holidays or long weekends.
