Restorative Yoga Classes
Restorative Yoga Classes
Restorative yoga classes offer a quieter, more reserved practice and are a great way to complement your regular yoga practice during the week.
Restorative classes also offer a good alternative for anyone wanting a more supportive approach to postures. This can be, for example, during recovery from injury, menstruation, or fatigue.
While restorative classes are a fantastic way to complement your yoga practice, it is beneficial when students have acquired a certain level of experience with poses taught in the regular asana classes.
This class suits all level 1 and 2 students. We recommend a minimum of 6 months of Iyengar yoga experience to attend restorative classes.
For absolute beginners looking for a gentler approach to starting their yoga journey, please consider our Gentle Beginners Yoga Classes.
All our normal passes and memberships are valid for attending our restorative classes.

Why we chant
Chanting at the beginning of our experienced yoga classes has been a regular feature at our yoga school over the decades. The chanted Invocation to Patanjali is a very centering practice before the beginning of each yoga practice.
Story of a Newcastle yoga teacher
I often get asked this question, "What do you do for work?". When I reply that I am a full-time yoga teacher in Newcastle, many more unspoken questions arise. In reality, there is not a simple answer to this question.
The Wall is Our Friend in Iyengar Yoga
The wall is probably one of the most versatile props that can be used in yoga based on our individual needs. It provides gentle support, is great for restorative work, or can provide that extra challenge. Making use of this in the practice of yoga can prove to be an invaluable asset to facilitate self-correction and learning.
