Welcome to the fourth edition of The Reset. This is a regular monthly offering from me along with A Peaceful Pause. Previous editions of The Reset include:

Joyful Ease - Summer Yin Yoga

Restorative Yoga for Anxiety

Yin Yoga with Your Sofa

If you’re currently a free subscriber, you can access all of these practices by upgrading your subscription here.

For any new subscribers to Slow Living in the Big City, welcome! The Reset is one of five offerings that paid subscribers receive from me each month, as well as full access to my growing archive of all posts, yoga classes and meditations. To receive all this, upgrade to monthly (this works out to £1.50 a week) or yearly membership (£1 a week). Free subscribers currently receive two posts per month. Thank you so much for being here.

This month I’m sharing a practice I’ve been turning to as a way to pour back into myself as I’ve been experiencing some grief recently. It’s based on the Rest Session for Grief from my book, Rest + Calm: Gentle yoga and mindful practices to nurture and restore yourself.

Restorative Support is a pure restorative practice where you’ll experience just 4 poses over the course of 1 hour 10 mins.

This practice which invites deep rest can also be helpful for those times when you’re feeling really tired and depleted.

Props - for this practice you’ll need:

  • 2 pillows (or 1 yoga bolster)

  • 1 cushion (or 1-2 yoga blocks)

  • 1-2 blankets or equivalent

Optional extras:

  • An eye cover (eg. eye pillow or folded scarf)

  • A yoga belt

Here’s your Restorative Support class (1hr 10mins)
