Total Reset
Experience a total reset with Uma Ashleigh Sergeant. Can gentle, floor-based movements and yoga nidra release deep-seated physical and mental stress?
About this video
When daily stress accumulates in the tissues, finding a pathway back to balance requires more than just rest—it demands a total reset. In this 60-minute session, instructor Uma Ashleigh Sergeant guides you through a floor-based practice designed to release deep-seated tension without physical strain.
This therapeutic class offers a full body yoga reset by utilizing supportive props like blankets, blocks, a strap, and a bolster to hold the body in effortless postures. By focusing on sliding, gliding, and rocking movements, this practice serves as a somatic nervous system reset that helps quiet the mind and release unconscious physical holding patterns. It is an ideal restorative yoga sequence for beginners and experienced practitioners alike who need to step away from life's constant demands. Rather than pushing your physical limits, this practice invites you to yield to gravity, allowing the muscles to soften and the breath to find its natural, unhurried rhythm. Through these slow, deliberate floor movements, you can gently address chronic tightness and cultivate a profound sense of safety within your own body.
Cultivate Deep Release and Physical Ease
- Unwind the Spine: Engage in gentle yoga for low back pain, using floor-based movements to target low back tension release and restore mobility. By spending almost the entire practice on your back and belly, you minimize spinal compression and allow the supportive muscles of the core and lower back to completely let go of habitual holding patterns.
- Soothe the Mind: Experience a deep mind-body release and relaxation through a concluding yoga nidra session that guides you into effortless savasana. This guided relaxation technique helps transition your brainwaves into a state of conscious rest, offering a mental pause that complements the physical release of the postures.
- Support Your Practice: Learn how to effectively use blankets, blocks, a strap, and a bolster to facilitate restorative yoga for deep relaxation. Discover how proper prop placement can eliminate physical resistance, making it easier for your nervous system to shift from a state of high alert into a state of deep, restorative healing.
Gather your props and prepare your space to begin this journey toward inner quiet. Start watching this restorative session today to restore harmony to your body and mind.
