Monthly Yin/Restorative Yoga Class

Next confirmed date: 7th December 2025

At the Roundhouse, Quinta da Pomba

This delicious yoga class is designed to help you slow down, unwind and release excess energy, stress, unhelpful emotions and tension. We use the meditative and sometimes intense practice of yin yoga to sit with whatever wishes to arise within us, and breathe it out, sending it on its way, like the waves of the ocean. The yin postures are blended with fully supportive and gloriously relaxing restorative yoga postures, to help us relax and restore, supporting the release.

Yin yoga adopts a ‘less is more’ approach of surrender, stillness, acceptance and self-compassionate presence. We use various props to support ourselves in the postures and we hold the postures for longer (usually between 3-5 minutes, sometimes longer). The emphasis is on ‘process’ rather than ‘outcome’; we are not striving to be anywhere else than where we are in each posture, without effort and straining but rather with complete acceptance and surrender. Restorative yoga postures are fully supported, in such a way that you can feel safely held and able to completely let go of effort and tension. These postures put us into the parasympathetic nervous system response and is super beneficial for calming the nervous system and restoring coherence to our internal systems, through deep relaxation.

The combination of yin yoga and restorative yoga is, in my experience, a wonderful way to nourish ourselves on a deep level.

To help you relax, it’s great if you can have blankets and cushions to hand at home, plus any yoga props you have, so you can make yourself as comfortable as possible in the longer holds/guided relaxation. And a yoga bolster is an amazing luxury too if you have one, but not essential – we can adapt with firm pillows, firm sofa cushions or rolled up form blankets.

The price is €10.

Monthly Involute Space – Women’s Yoga

Next confirmed dates: 14th December 2025

At the Roundhouse, Quinta da Pomba

My intention is to create a nurturing, supportive and healing monthly space to explore our mysterious and incredible female bodies through women-centric ancient yoga practices such as womb-honouring flow sequences, mudra, mantra, pranayama, bandhas and kriyas, plus more modern interpretations of these practices such as hypopressives and other pelvic floor toning practices. In each session I will also invite and encourage us to find our voice and share our truths with each other, using the format of a ‘sharing circle’ to explore different themes of what is is to be an empowered woman in these times. Through sitting in circle with trusted sisterhood, our capacity for healing and growth expands exponentially. Together we create magic!

By donation (suggested donation €10-20 per person). Pre-booking is essential.
