When & where to practice
What it's like
Slow, fluid sequences, mostly low to the ground. You'll move through graceful shapes with long, unhurried transitions, the movement rarely stops entirely, but it never speeds up either. This is the thing to know: it flows. If you're expecting a prop-heavy restorative class where you're arranged into a shape and left there, this isn't that. You'll be moving the whole hour, just very slowly. The room is quiet, the lighting low, and everything is led by breath. Expect to leave softer than you arrived.
Why people practice this?
The pace is the practice. Moving slowly enough that you can actually feel each transition gives attention somewhere to settle, which is why people describe it as meditation rather than exercise. It calms without requiring stillness. Plenty of people find lying still difficult, the mind gets louder, not quieter. Continuous gentle movement gives it something to do while the nervous system winds down anyway. And it rebuilds a connection that gets lost in faster classes. When nothing is rushed, you start noticing what your body is actually telling you rather than pushing through it.
Is this for you?
You'll get on with Restorative Flow if you:
• Find Yin too still but Vinyasa too fast
• Want to unwind without lying motionless
• Are at the end of a heavy week and need the volume turned down
• Like the idea of meditation but prefer to be moving New to yoga? It's a gentle place to start. Nothing is quick enough to lose you, and there's no sequence to memorise.

Questions people ask
Can I come injured?
Often yes, but tell your teacher first so they can adjust.
Will I be bored?
Maybe at first. Most people find something shifts after two or three classes.
Do I need to be flexible?
No. Every pose is adjusted with props. Flexibility is an outcome, not a requirement.
Isn't it just stretching?
No. Stretching targets muscle. Yin relaxes it so the load reaches connective tissue.
Do I need experience?
No. Most classes are open to all levels and teachers give options.
Do I need a mat?
No. Mats and props are provided. Bring your own if you prefer.
How do I book?
Website or the Fit by Wix app, code NCL5XG. You'll need a pass or card first.
