Welcome to our FREE YOGA RESOURCES page! 
We love you coming to our yoga classes, one to one sessions, courses and retreats but we also know that little and often at home is sometimes the best way to optimise the benefits of your yoga practice, particularly if you are looking to use them to support your emotional and mental well being
Check out our free bitesized wellbeing resources that can be used at work or at home or wherever you can find a quiet space. It’s even possible to practice some of the exercises below in busy places like a bus or a train as long as you have headphones.
The point is that making time for moments of quiet and internal focus, where your nervous system has the opportunity to rest and reset is really important. Our resources are laid out to make it easy for you to find what you need. Please let us know if anything is missing that you would like.
