Restorative Flow is our signature class; a hybrid that we have proudly invented ourselves here at Half Moon and we love this one very much!

In this class, you will be guided through a series of slow, graceful movements that promote flexibility, strength, and balance. The focus is on connecting with your breath, moving mindfully and with intention, and cultivating a sense of inner peace and well-being. You will experience a combination of gentle flow, yin and restorative poses, and flowing transitions in between restorative poses.
The slow flow style of this class allows for a deep and intentional connection with each movement, encouraging you to listen to your body and find your own unique rhythm. With its calming and meditative quality, this type of yoga is the perfect way to unwind after a long day, to release physical and emotional tension, connect more deeply with yourself or to simply relax and recharge.

Yin Nidra and Meditation
“Yoga Nidra Meditation” is a deep relaxation and meditation practice that takes you on a journey within. This guided meditation combines breath awareness, visualisation, and body awareness to induce a state of deep relaxation and therapeutic rejuvenation.
Yoga Nidra translates as ‘yogic sleep’ and is said to be the deepest state of relaxation possible apart from sleep.
In this class, we will start with approximately thirty to forty minutes of yin yoga. Deep yet gentle stretches; some that we will hold longer and some shorter. These wonderful stretches, compressions and decompressions will prepare the body for relaxation.
You will then be led through a series of meditative exercises that promote physical and mental relaxation, helping you to release stress and tension, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and well-being. The practice is done lying down, making it a restorative and supportive experience for the body.
Yoga Nidra Meditation focuses on muscle relaxation, stillness, deep breathing, and mindfulness, with an emphasis on allowing yourself to simply be present in each moment. But also giving yourself permission to drift with your mind and enter into a dream-like state where your brain wave state can shift inducing a very magical and therapeutic effect on the body and brain. Its calming and meditative quality makes it an excellent way to reduce stress and anxiety, deepen your meditation practice, or simply relax and recharge.

In a Restorative class, you will be guided through a series of passive and supported postures, using props such as blankets, bolsters and cushions to fully relax into each pose. We relax and soften into each pose for 3-7 minutes. In this way it is similar to a yin pose; except a more gentle version. The focus is on surrendering control, letting go of physical and mental tension, and entering into deeper states of tranquility. The benefits include a stretching, opening and tension relief from the fascia – connective tissues, release of deeper tension and tightness in the joints, improving your posture and mobility as well as creating emotional equilibrium.
With it’s emphasis on stillness and relaxation, Restorative Radiance is the perfect way to unwind after a long day or week, to release stress and tension, take some time for yourself and to simply recharge and rejuvenate.
