Unlocking the body's innate ability to down-regulate into the relaxation response — its capacity to rest, digest, and restore — is akin to discovering an oasis in the desert. Within this refuge, we consciously begin to unwind the effects of modern life: stress, emotional overwhelm, mental rumination, and deeply held tension that slowly erodes our wellbeing.
Rooted in mindfulness and nervous system regulation, Restorative Yoga by Gabrielle Mendoza offers a gentle pathway back to ourselves. Through breathwork, meditation, and a fully supported passive practice, we create the conditions for the body to soften and release layers of accumulated stress.
With the luxury of time, guided relaxation, and a deeper understanding of the mind-body relationship, participants are invited to cultivate spaciousness, replenish their inner resources, and receive the care their nervous system so deeply deserves — supporting resilience, preventing burnout, and restoring the capacity to live fully and well.
Choose from the individual sessions, or undertake them as a series over 5 Fridays in October.
Session 1: Increasing Our Window of Tolerance (2 Oct)
Session 2: What We Resist, Persists (9 Oct)
Session 3: The Space Between (16 Oct)
Session 4: The Art of Letting Go (23 Oct)
Session 5: Moving Through, Not Moving Past (30 Oct)
