Restoration
AT ION FESTIVAL 2023

A specially curated series of wellbeing activities to reinvigorate and restore body, mind and spirit: the perfect complement to a week of dancing.
Every Restoration session is a natural health-kick, designed to be inclusive for all bodies, backgrounds and levels of experience.
