Private Restorative Yoga
🤍 Deep Rest, Nervous System Repair & Gentle Recovery
Led by an experienced, certified yoga teacher, private Restorative yoga sessions offer a deeply soothing practice that invites stillness, calm, and renewal.
Designed to support your body in restful, fully supported poses, this gentle style promotes nervous system regulation, stress relief, and healing — ideal for anyone needing to slow down and truly rest.
Private sessions allow you to unwind in full comfort, with props and personalised support guiding you toward deep recovery — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
🧘♀️ What Is Restorative Yoga?
Restorative yoga is a passive, prop-supported practice where poses are held for 5–20 minutes or more.
Unlike dynamic styles, the goal here is not to stretch or strengthen, but to let go — of muscular effort, mental tension, and accumulated stress.
Every element, from breath to lighting to voice tone, is curated to help you drop into a deep parasympathetic state — where true healing and restoration can occur.
🧠 Backed by Research, Rooted in Wisdom
Yes — Restorative yoga can support real, measurable fat loss.
In a landmark 48-week study funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), participants who practised Restorative yoga lost more than twice as much subcutaneous fat as those in a conventional stretching group — particularly around the abdomen, hips, and thighs.
Crucially, this was fat loss, not muscle loss — and the results were longer-lasting in the Restorative group.
Why? The answer lies in the body’s stress response.
Chronic stress elevates cortisol, a hormone linked to increased abdominal fat storage and metabolic imbalance.
When the nervous system is in a constant state of fight-or-flight, the body holds onto fat—especially around the belly—as a protective mechanism.
Restorative yoga gently activates the parasympathetic nervous system (the "rest and digest" state), helping lower cortisol levels and restore hormonal balance.
This shift not only supports relaxation and emotional clarity—it creates physiological conditions that favour fat metabolism and sustainable weight regulation.
These findings underscore what yogis have long known: relaxation is not indulgence — it’s a vital physiological process.
🌀 What to Expect in a Restorative Yoga Session
🛋 Fully Supported Poses Using Props
Bolsters, blankets, blocks, and cushions cradle the body in ease, allowing you to remain in each posture without muscular strain.
⏳ Long, Gentle Holds (5–20+ mins)
Time allows the body to truly soften, releasing chronic tension, recalibrating the nervous system, and encouraging emotional ease.
🌬 Calming Breath Awareness
Gentle breathwork slows the heart rate, soothes the mind, and supports parasympathetic activation — the body’s rest-and-repair mode.
🌙 A Quiet, Grounding Atmosphere
Lighting, sound, and verbal cues are intentionally minimal to create a cocoon of stillness and inner quiet.
🩺 Recovery & Rebuilding from Within
Restorative yoga is often used as a therapeutic tool — whether you're navigating injury recovery, burnout, hormonal imbalance, or anxiety.

Because of its minimal effort and customisable setup, this style is ideal for those with physical limitations, fatigue, or low energy.
