Library of softness

Sessions arranged by how you actually feel today

Instead of chasing levels, you pick by mood and time: sunrise softness before the world wakes, desk-friendly resets between calls, or deep evening cocoons when your body asks for rest.

Each SoftLight Yoga session is a small, clear pocket of calm you can drop into your week without changing your whole life. Gentle, repeatable and kind to joints and nerves.

Soft paths for very different kinds of weeks

Some weeks feel packed and buzzy, others feel heavy and slow. These simple paths help you keep a gentle rhythm without strict rules.

Starter week
Two sunrise mini-flows and one longer Sunday stretch.
Desk week
Three lunch-break resets to keep shoulders and eyes from locking up.
Deep rest week
One full restorative session plus tiny bedtime grounding most nights.

Two yoga mats side by side ready for a calm shared session — Keep a shared soft date with a friend once a week.

Pick the length that feels honest today

Five, ten, twenty-five or forty-five minutes — each length has a clear beginning, middle and end so your body learns the pattern and can relax into it.

10 min

Micro reset

One gentle arc of movement plus a short breath practice.

25 min

Soft flow

Warm up, explore a few shapes, land in a supported rest.

45 min

Deep restorative

Layered props, long holds and an unhurried savasana.

Three moods SoftLight sessions are especially kind to

Tired is not one thing. Some days you are wired and buzzing, some days foggy and slow, some days quietly sad. Sessions here are grouped so you can match softness to what is true today.

Wired but tired Short grounding flows close to the floor.
Screen-fogged Neck, eyes and shoulder resets for desk-heavy days.
Tender and low Very slow, very supported shapes and long rest.

Soft trios to keep as small rituals

Many people find it easier to remember a simple three-part ritual than a full schedule. These trios can repeat week after week.

Morning soften trio

Open curtains, short spine wave, one minute of quiet standing.

Yoga mat unrolled near a window with soft early light

Desk unwind trio

Stand up, slow shoulder circles, one gentle forward fold on the chair.

Evening closing trio

Snapshots from real-life SoftLight sessions

Not staged studios, but small pieces of real homes, travel rooms and busy lives where these gentle sessions actually happen.

How many props does each session really need?

You do not need a full studio to start. Some sessions use only a mat, some a few cushions, and a few are built for full “blanket nest” evenings.

Start with what you already have at home and let your prop collection grow slowly as your body learns to trust these softer shapes.

Mat-only mornings

Short flows that only ask for a mat and maybe a towel.

Soft support sessions

A blanket, one block and a pillow turn most shapes into soft landings.

Full restorative nests

Bolsters, extra blankets and an eye pillow for deep evening restoration.

Breath anchors woven into SoftLight sessions

Every session has a simple breath pattern behind it. You do not have to count perfectly — the shapes and cues invite your breath to quietly lengthen on their own.

Sunrise flows

4–4–4

Soft square breath to wake your system without jolting it: inhale, pause, exhale evenly.

Desk resets

4–6

Slightly longer exhales as you roll shoulders and soften your jaw between tasks.

Evening cocoons

4–4–6

Inhale, stay, then a longer exhale that helps your whole body remember it can let go.

What a first SoftLight session usually feels like

No need to perform, impress or “keep up”. Your first visit is mostly about meeting the space, the teacher and how your body feels when it is invited to move more softly.

1

Arrival and soft orientation

You choose a mat, borrow props if you like, and hear a few simple ground rules.
2

Gentle guided movement

The teacher offers lots of options and checks in so you never have to push.
3

Quiet landing and afterglow

You lie down, get warm, and leave with a clearer sense of what feels kind to your body.

Weekly rhythms that stay soft, even when life does not

A SoftLight week is not about perfect streaks. It is about one or two clear anchors you can actually return to — even when plans change or energy dips.

“Bookend” weeks Soft session near the start and end of the week.
“Middle cushion” weeks One grounding reset right in the busiest day.
“Tiny thread” weeks Five or ten minutes of very gentle movement most evenings.

Gentle check-ins before and after each session

Instead of “Was I good at yoga today?”, SoftLight sessions invite a different kind of question: “How do I feel now compared to before I unrolled the mat?”

Before practice

Notice your energy, mood and breath without judging. This becomes a quiet baseline.

After practice

Name even the smallest shift: “a little warmer”, “a bit less tight”, “mind a touch clearer”.

Soft series you can loop for a whole season

Some people like to repeat the same gentle trio of sessions for weeks. This takes away decision fatigue and lets the body sink deeper into familiar shapes.

Ground & arrive

Slow, floor-based shapes to say hello to your body after busy days.

Gently explore

A slightly more active flow once or twice a week to feel strong without strain.

Deep rest anchor

One longer restorative nest that your nervous system starts to recognise as “safe”.

Everyday moments you can quietly pair with a session

You do not need a special “yoga day”. SoftLight sessions weave into mornings, commutes and small pockets of time you already have.

Kettle mornings: Unroll your mat while the water boils, take three soft shapes before the first sip of tea.
Doorway arrivals: After work, pause in the hallway for one short grounding session before screens or chores.
Pre-sleep pocket: Replace one scroll with a ten-minute cocoon that tells your body it is safe to rest.

How your sessions can shift gently with the seasons

The same shapes feel different in early light, high summer heat or winter evenings. SoftLight sessions lean into those changes instead of fighting them.

Why repeating the same soft sessions can feel so different

SoftLight does not rush to give you something new every time. Repeating familiar flows lets your body spend less energy on “What comes next?” and more on “How does this feel now?”.

Less decision fatigue

You simply show up, press play or walk into the room and the pattern is already known.

Deeper signals

Small shifts in breath, balance and ease become easier to notice each time.

Gentle confidence

Familiar shapes start to feel like home instead of a test of your ability.

Space for questions, worries and tiny adjustments

SoftLight sessions assume you will have questions: about knees, wrists, old injuries, or just “Is it ok if I do it like this?”.

We normalise pausing to check in with the teacher instead of silently pushing through.
You are always invited to skip shapes, change props or stay longer in what feels good.
There is room after class for quiet one-to-one chats if you prefer.

A soft invitation to choose one session and keep it

You do not have to re-plan your whole life. Start with one SoftLight session that feels kind — a ten-minute reset, a Sunday stretch or a midweek cocoon — and let it quietly become part of how you look after yourself.

When that one session feels like a trusted friend, you can always add a second.
