Are you tired, not just physically, but deep in your bones?

Do you feel constantly “on,” carrying tension in your body, your breath, your nervous system?

Are you craving a pause that truly restores you, rather than another thing to keep up with?

This week in Skyros has been created as an invitation to rest deeply, gently, and intentionally.

Across the week, you’ll be guided through restorative yoga, conscious breathing, and nervous-system-soothing practices designed to release deeply held tension and bring your body back into balance. There is no striving here, no pushing, no fixing, only permission to soften, slow down, and be supported.

You’ll learn:

✨ Simple breathing techniques to calm the nervous system
✨ How to release deep seated tension through restorative shapes
✨ Practical tools for micro-rest – small, powerful moments of rest you can take into everyday life
✨ Ways to regulate your energy and support better sleep
✨ How to make rest a sustainable, nourishing part of your life

This is not about escaping your life – it’s about returning to it resourced, grounded, and restored..

If your system is asking for rest… If your body is quietly (or loudly) asking you to slow down… This week is for you.

About Maxine Bailey-Green

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what makes Max so remarkable as a conduit of yoga. She’s an outlier, a rare one, somebody who doesn’t fit into any clearly defined box or label.

Maxine’s approach as a wellbeing expert is a holistic journey, she explores internal and external well-being , and believes that wellness should be part of your lifestyle.

As a breathwork coach, intuitive body worker, and yoga teacher, she will take you on a journey by weaving in positive affirmations, connecting the breath with movement, creating stillness through mediation and retraining the diaphragm to breathe more effectively to open up space in the body and bring it back to homeostasis. She delights in the spaces between, guiding you to your inner wisdom opening the doors to greater self exploration through a blend of easy to follow guided techniques.

Without a shred of pretence, Max conjures a space where you get to embody the journey of yoga for you. Asana and mantra are used as tools that anchor you in your own awareness, in an experience so organic and complete it stays with you longer after you step off the mat.

While her knowledge and experience is undeniable, it is her devotion to living yoga that gets your attention.
