RESTORATIVE RESET & MEDITATION
Mondays & Wednesdays 4:00-5:15pm
Help reduce stress, relieve injuries and chronic pain
Restorative yoga uses long-held, supported resting poses to create the conditions for us to cultivate the skill for conscious relaxation, and most importantly to release unnecessary tension in the body and mind. This restful practice is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive supported stretching. In this class, the body is completely supported with props like blocks, blankets, and pillows, thus creating a muscular experience in the body while also nurturing and soothing your nervous system.

Develop a deeper inner awareness.
Yin yoga is a practice of backing away from our edge, holding postures longer, which over time, effectively improves joint mobility, balances internal organs and enhances relaxation and meditation. Slowly and deeply we allow deep fascial tissues to relax and rehydrate while quietly listening inward to our bodies… with gentle cueing and plenty of space to welcome the sweetness of silence. A sequence of long-held, passive floor poses in which we practice being with ourselves exactly as we are.
