Restorative Yoga Workshop

Laura Hinde and Lou Stanion are running a restorative yoga workshop at The Yoga Hall on Sunday 8 November, from 14:00 to 16:00. It's part of a monthly series, with the previous session on 18 October and the next on 6 December, so if you can't make this one, there's another chance coming up soon.

Restorative yoga is a slow practice of restful poses supported by bolsters, cushions and blankets. Each pose is held for 10 to 20 minutes, which lets a deep relaxation set in without the effort of stretching or strengthening. It's less about working your body and more about letting it settle, so you can spend the full two hours just being still.

The session is open to everyone, and you don't need any previous yoga experience to join in. Mats and props are provided, so you don't need to bring your own gear. The only thing to keep in mind is what to wear: loose, comfortable clothing and socks are recommended, as you'll be staying in these poses for a while and want to stay warm.

The Yoga Hall is a dedicated studio at 11 Hatfield Road, AL1 3RR, and it hosts regular classes alongside other wellbeing, movement and community events. The workshop costs £25, runs from 14:00 to 16:00, and is led by Laura Hinde and Lou Stanion.
