Who it's for

Made for bodies that need slow

01

Stiff, sore or sitting all day

Hips, lower back and shoulders get long, slow attention, with props doing part of the work.

02

New to yoga, or back after years

Every stretch has an easier version, and nobody is asked to keep up.

03

Seniors and recovering bodies

Students in their 60s and 70s, after surgery and with nerve pain, practise here with modifications from the teacher.

What to expect

What a class feels like

1

Settle in

Props are laid out for you. Arrive a few minutes early, choose a spot and let your breath slow down.

2

Gentle mobility

Easy, unhurried movement to warm the joints: neck, shoulders, hips and spine.

3

Long, supported stretches

Stretches you can hold comfortably, with blocks, straps, blankets and pillows adapting each one to your body.

4

Breathwork

Calming breathing to settle the nervous system before rest.

5

Guided relaxation

The class closes with supported rest, so you leave settled and recharged rather than rushed.

Ready when you are. The live schedule shows this week’s classes and teachers, and booking takes about a minute.

What students say

In their own words

When you walk in, you immediately feel at home. I've really enjoyed taking the gentle flow classes and it's helped me get back to my fitness goals.

I love this place. The gentle moves are great for stretching and makes you realize how much stretching is important for us.

I attended a gentle yoga class/reiki session and it was exactly what I needed. I slept like a baby that night.

Questions people ask us

Close cousins. Gentle yoga moves slowly through easy poses; restorative yoga holds a few fully supported poses for longer so the body can let go. Stretch + Restore blends both: gentle movement first, then supported rest.

No. Flexibility is the result of this class, not the entry fee. Props bring the floor to you, and every stretch has an option that fits your body today.

Longer, yin-style holds with full prop support appear in some of our gentle classes. The live schedule shows what is running this week.

Comfortable clothes you can move in and some water. Mats and props are provided; bring your own mat if you prefer.

Buy the intro pass, three classes for $29, and book Stretch + Restore as your first one.
