Deep rest in Medellín
Deep rest in Medellín means slow, supported practice: restorative yoga with bolsters and blankets, and yoga nidra, a guided lying-down practice. Most of these classes fall in the evening, when the day has settled, and they are built to let the nervous system come down. The collection is small and close together, with much of it in Alejandría.

What deep rest looks like here
Deep rest classes here lean toward the restorative style, where poses are held for a long time with the body fully supported. Props such as bolsters, blocks, straps and blankets do most of the work, so muscles can let go instead of holding a shape. Yoga nidra appears alongside it as a guided practice of lying still and following the voice of the facilitator.
Most of the classes sit in the evening, which suits anyone who wants to finish the day slowly. A smaller number begin in the early morning, before 9am, for those who prefer to start the day quietly.
Where to begin
The studio with the most classes in this collection is 108 Yoga in Alejandría. Its restorative class, Yoga Restaurativo, runs for an hour and is described as a practice to stimulate the nervous system and support recovery of the body and mind. Because the classes are listed for all levels, the collection works well for a first visit.
Marce Anahata and Ana Isabel Estrada lead the most classes here, and the surrounding neighborhood of Alejandría is where most of this practice gathers.
