Today's Throwback Thursday's class was David's choice (check out that hair!!), who says: "This is one of my favourite experiential classes I've ever taught... I am so glad we recorded it and it is on the internet forever. Humanity is calling for more rest; this offers it."


You are in for a treat! Find a hot water bottle and the other props listed below. Turn down the lights, light some incense and TURN OFF YOUR PHONE! This journey down the restorative river is not only a gift for your body, but a present for your spirit and healing. David leads you into the poses, including placement of the hot water bottle, then guides you through imagery and sensations to cleanse and heal on many levels. A true delight with a gorgeous soundtrack from musical friends. If you like the music, please support the artists from their websites.

Props needed: bolster, blankets (at least 2), belt, blocks (2), hot water bottle.


Music: AVI ADIR (Albums: Woods Whistling, Divine Music for Meditation); PRAFUL MYSTIC (Albums: Where Spirits Live, Into Being); ONENESS SOUND; DAVID LUREY: Savasana Serenades on my website.

Keep coming back ... This is so much wellness with such little expense and hustle. It is such a precious recording. Maybe, David, would you mind to record more similar classes? Anyway, thank you very much :)
Julie04.07.2024
Beautiful practice, music and words. Was one of my favourites the first time round so it seems that some things don’t change ☺️ thank you David 🙏
David06.07.2024
You are welcome. I am happy to see this class is coming back around for quite a few of you. I think I could use a Ride on the River soon too 🌈
Shimrit14.12.2015
Thank you for a lovely class. A really beautiful experience.
David16.12.2015
You're welcome, I loved creating it!
Anne Berit19.12.2015
I will have no problem taking your advice to repeat this class on a regular basis. Not because it was lovely, but because it became so evident that I need to in order to continue down the path I started a long time ago, which have brought me closer to myself and my truth. I know from my experience, so far, that there is no going back. Strength is the flip side of vulnerability, and vice versa, and I doubt any truth can be found anywhere else, at least not for me. As we seem to be using Norwegian words in the comment section for this class, I will conclude with a very heartfelt "tusen takk, David" It is the Norwegian take on your "thanks a million", even if it only counts up to a thousand, I assure you, the sentiment is still the same.

Oh dear - fell asleep in the first pose and woke up you were 40 mins on ... still, lovely to have a sense of calm. We live on the edge of a river that became a little too powerful in the last few weeks and it's nice to reconnect with some restorative energy! I'll try this again when less sleepy! Thank you.
David18.12.2015
Hehehe... falling asleep in the first pose is PERFECT! And the rest of the sequence is always there for you, when the waters recede a bit.
Melissa25.04.2020
David--thank you for recommending this practice to me. It took me a few weeks to find the time for it (funny how that happens, hehe) but I am so glad I finally partook. The poses, visualizations and music were all wonderful. I usually play music in the background when I practice so am always pleased when you include such wonderful artists in your classes. I didn't have a hot water bottle but got creative with a cloth soaked in hot water inside of a ziplock bag. It was divine!
David27.04.2020
Wunderbar! Keep taking care of yourself and hopefully you can find/make time for more restorative practices as they are an important balance.
Rose02.01.2016
What a truly special and beautiful class :) Thank you David! Felt completely basked in the soft energy. The music was lovely as well.
Francesca13.12.2015
KOSELIG....extremely koselig... My living room was transformed in a wellness center: candels, roses oil drops, all the props, the warm water bottles, eye pillow, your beautiful designed practice, the just perfect music and the wise words...Thank You David for this amazing Gift! PS: "Koselig" is a norwegian word that doesn't really have an english translation. It's something like cosiness, intimacy, warmth, happiness, being content about something...during the long and dark norwegian winter we need a lot of koselig things!
Anne Berit19.12.2015
Koselig is a word often used whenever we find ourself in a situation which brings about feelings of both comfort and joy. Surroundings or interactions with others are key elements. Personally I wouldn't use it about a yoga class, not even this one. I would say that this was lovely, which is an English word describing it perfectly, but then again, there is no equivalent translation for lovely into Norwegian. However, having a lengthy discussion about these things, with a nice cup of tea and some cushions and candles would be very koselig :-)
Lotte14.12.2015
Hyggelig ;-D
Myrthe14.12.2015
We have the same word in Dutch :) ..... gezellig
Sabine13.12.2015

David27.12.2015
Glad to hear it... I will practice it tonight with my family and hope to have the amazing effects too :)
AnnK21.03.2016
Dear David, this was an amazing experience for me. After a lot of restlessness in the post weeks, months or maaybe dacades I feel a very special peace of mind. It came at a eprfect timing today. Yesterday evening I sat down on the sofa doing nothing and this felt so strange and I realised that I usually don´t "do" this. This morning I woke up far too early, very tired and my mind was rushing as if it tried to keep up with everything it missed yesterday. I felt exhausted but unable to find calmness without falling asleep. I am very grateful to have experienced this through your class and I also found some answers to my question why it is so hard to bear stillness. There was pain and neediness popping up. I cried some healing tears in childs pose and some very painful ones in the backbend at the end. Tears that need to be seen by myself. Thanks for guiding into such beautiful selfcare which seems completely impossible at times. I hope that I will come back to this class as I really felt some healing taking place. Thank you ever so much. Warm regards.
David21.03.2016
Wow... Mission Accomplished :) Great that the Restorative River called on some cleansing tears and you let them flow... All part of the practice. Please take this class often and let the effects ripple outwards.

Katrina13.12.2015
Hi David this was beautiful, I chose to practice in the morning after another night of not sleeping through depression...and feelings of not being a vital part of the world...this was just what I needed, really delicious. The music and your words were so transforming and grounding at the same time. thank you so much for sharing this with us all...Love Katrina xxxx

Well wishes as you flow down the river... Happy to share it!
Andrew B17.12.2015
Great, just great. I loved this. I am also doing your archetypes of man programme which is very refreshing, so this restorative practice is a nice oasis of calm in amongst my macho funk. Coupled with regular doses of Andrew Wrenn practices and sprinklings of other teachers it's all ticking along very nicely and producing some great results. Thanks.
David18.12.2015
Thanks, Andrew... as we are on the last Archetype, you deserve this restorative class too... and let the magic flow through you :)
