Recuperative Yoga: deep rest and relaxation. Moving beyond stress, exhaustion, anxiety, and chronic pain

"While I had known and appreciated yoga in my life for many years before I attended Rebecca's class, moving to Sheffield and finding her Restorative Yoga Class at a challenging time health-wise has been even more helpful than I had anticipated. I began 7 months after major surgery and 6 weeks after chemotherapy ended and was quite prepared that all I might manage would be to get there and lie on my mat. Rebecca's experience and knowledge has given me the opportunity to learn yoga from the inside, to practice in a way that is completely individual and beneficial to me and my body as I experience it each day. I particularly like the growing understanding of myself and of yoga and feel that yoga is becoming part of my life, not just when I'm on my mat in class. Rebecca is safe, respectful and wise as well as openly human and comfortable to be with. I'm grateful to have found this class and it is the best investment I've made towards my health. Being in my body is now an increasingly comfortable and connected experience and I may well have remained disconnected after my illness and pain, had I not been gently encouraged to be in my body again in a safe and supported environment by a skilled and experienced practitioner."
