Nest building
Laara helps you stack bolsters and blankets into a personal nest. Getting comfortable is the first practice.
Signature Class · 02
Relaxing Pose
An hour of fully supported rest. Bolsters hold you, blankets warm you, and Laara's voice walks you down into the deepest exhale of your week.
What this class entails
Restorative yoga uses props to hold every joint, so muscles can switch off completely. You'll move through five or six shapes — legs up the wall, supported twist, reclined bound angle — staying in each for up to ten minutes.
It looks like doing nothing, and that is exactly the point. One evening session lowers resting heart rate, eases lower-back ache and sets up the best sleep of your week.
What's included
- Full prop kit: two bolsters, three blankets, blocks and eye pillow
- Dim candlelit hall with warm ambient music
- Guided yoga-nidra style relaxation in the final pose
- Chamomile tea and a sleep-tips card to take home
A typical session

Long-held shapes
Five supported poses, each held for minutes while breath slows and shoulders drop away from ears.
3
Deep rest
A fifteen-minute guided relaxation under blankets. Most people float; some gently snore. Both are fine.
Questions
Is this "real" yoga? Ask anyone who fell asleep in savasana — rest is a practice too. Write to hello@amberleafyoga.com.
Book This ClassYes — this is our most prenatal-friendly class. Tell Laara your trimester at the door and she'll adjust every prop for you.
Honestly, no — and that's the medicine. Pair it with a morning Sculpt or Hatha class if you want both effort and rest in your week.
Warm socks and layers. Your body temperature drops as you relax, so dress like it's ten degrees cooler than it is.
