Hi my name is Jan Ungerer and I am a qualified Restorative Yoga Teacher. I have had the good fortune in the past 30 years or so, to have been taught by and worked alongside many skilled yoga and mindfulness teachers and was even lucky enough to have spent time in the esteemed company of Guru B.K. Pattabhi Jois.

As much as I learnt in this time of study and practice and through listening to their collective wisdom – the most powerful and transformative experiences have come through my own trial and errors of practice and learning through teaching students. I am a pattern catcher, leadership coach, yoga teacher, a mother and grandmother.

The practice of Restorative Yoga works by giving our much-needed nervous systems some attention. When we can stay with it using releasing techniques like slow and supported poses, breathwork, and even silence and stillness we help relieve the layers of tension stored up in the body and mind.

We take time to travel inwards releasing deeply rooted patterns that sometimes can be blocking or limiting our highest potential. Together, gently, and deliberately we work to be able to digest the present moment as it is and restore balance so we can better access the parasympathetic response needed for resting and digesting. The use of props such as blocks, bolsters, blankets and eye pillows in Restorative Yoga provide for thoughtful inquiry and gives us direct physical feedback whilst fostering the confidence to grow our own practice.

Join me in transforming body, mind and spirit by accessing these deeper levels of relaxation. Embrace the pauses and transform the stresses of daily life.
