This monthly class celebrates the art of deep relaxation. We will prepare the body with specific poses to open up the breath and move into a relaxed state. Restorative Yoga is a gentle, and more passive form of yoga where the body is supported with various props. The poses are held for several minutes without pain or strain in postures that are mostly laying down. The idea is that by relaxing in poses our parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated, which promotes a relaxation response and reduces stress in our bodies – we can then achieve physical, emotional and mental relaxation.
