Rest + Rise Yoga with Sam

This is a weekly in-person yoga class at Rosehill Theatre, Whitehaven; it's a space to slow down, breathe properly, and move without having to perform, push, or prove anything.

Each class begins with prāṇāyāma ("breathwork") to settle the nervous system, before warming gently through the joints & muscles, then building through sūrya namaskāra (sun salutations) into a full sequence of āsana (postures). We'll move through a range of standing postures, backbends, forward bends, hip openers and twists, before winding down and closing in śavāsana (corpse pose AKA final rest).

This class isn't about how the pose looks, it's about how it feels and what it does for your nervous system.  No experience needed; no "skill level" required to belong. Simply bring yourself & a lidded drink; mats, blocks, and straps will be provided, but if you have your own mat, you're welcome to bring it, as well as any additional props you usually use; always wear whatever clothes you'll be comfortable to move in on the day.
