Have you every tried Restorative Yoga? As teachers we look for tummy grumbles, sex faces and farts. What? Seriously? Tune in to find out why!

Do you feel worthy enough to invest in deep rest? Following last week's chat on Yin Yoga we dive into the similar but completley different (!) practice of Restorative Yoga. 

- Kelly is in college now so talks us through the hormones and nuero chemistry of stress and rest.

- We talk you through, in a broad and easy to understand way, two of the states of the nervous system: sympathetic and parasympathetic.

- Are you actually IN your body? Or is yoga bringing you into your body, to the capacity with which you can enter it, in the moment? And does that change?

- And of course Britney is free, Adele owns spotify and blonde hair is cheugy. Soz.

We navigate
