It facilitates deep release into the restorative asana & restores the body's ability to self-regulate. Students are guided to develop key somatic skills that enable rest to become restorative.

     

    Jaye encourages compassionate self-inquiry & self-care. Individual adjustments & customised variations are offered ensure that the practice meets & supports every body in the room.
