Our Classes
Deep Restorative
A slow, spacious practice designed to help you fully unwind, soften, and return to yourself. Deep Restorative invites you to pause in a world that rarely does. Through supported, restful postures, we gently guide the body into deep relaxation while calming the nervous system and creating space for true rest.
Each session may weave together elements of soothing philosophy, reflective poetry, gentle spoken word, or moments of soft singing and sound. These are offered like threads of kindness - never required, always optional - simply there to hold you while you rest. There is no striving here. No expectation. Just permission to stop, to breathe, and to be.
This is a space for feeling good in the simplest way: lying down, being supported, and remembering that rest is enough. Come as you are. Leave a little lighter. The calming ambiance, coupled with gentle stretches and mindful breathing, creates a meditative experience that soothes the nervous system and invites a profound sense of peace.
This class is designed for all levels, offering a blissful escape from the demands of daily life, leaving you refreshed, restored, and ready to embrace a sense of calm.

Mysore Style / description:
In a Mysore-style class each student practices at their own pace, led by and anchored in their own smooth breathing rhythm, following the structure of one of the Ashtanga sequences, as they have been taught, up to place where they have been instructed by the teacher. The teacher is not required to stand at the front and provide instruction to all students simultaneously, they are free to help each student individually, in a quiet, introspective atmosphere, giving both verbal and physical adjustments to guide students towards a balance between effort and ease in each pose, and to provide clarity around key actions and alignment in the pose. The teacher, over time, gives each student further poses to practice, usually adding only one or two extra poses at a time, to keep students challenged. In this held space students have the opportunity to develop their concentration as a tool for experiencing glimpses of silence, each moment of silence allowing our identification with a limited sense of self to soften and resulting in a grounded, expansiveness.
Ashtanga Mysore
Every Thursday & Friday 7 - 9am.
Plus, monthly workshops to dive deeper into the practice (Sundays)
About Joey

In 2014, Joey completed the 3rd series under Sharath Jois’ guidance at the KPJAYI in Mysore.
