Make the time to come back to yourself after a busy week.

This practice is especially supportive if you:

* find it difficult to switch off

* have a busy or overactive mind

* carry tension or tightness in your body

* long for a little time that's just for you

* feel guilty when you rest or put yourself first

Through long-held, supported postures, gentle breathwork, and stillness, you'll give your body permission to soften, your mind a chance to settle, and your nervous system the space to unwind.

What you'll need

* A yoga mat

* A blanket

* A bolster or a couple of firm cushions (optional)

* Two yoga blocks (optional)

* A bottle or glass of water

If you don't have yoga props, don't worry - pillows, cushions, or folded blankets work beautifully too.
