Relax into the Holidays with Restorative Yoga

Program Description

In this workshop, experience deep relaxation and rejuvenation during a time period when it’s needed most. Restorative Yoga is an effective antidote to stress, tension and anxiety. During this practice, the body is placed in gentle, supported asanas or poses. These poses literally hold and support the physical body, while the mental body lets go of stress, worry and tension. Recharge your batteries for the season with a body at rest and a calm mind, in order to experience the peace within and the joy of the holiday season.

This workshop offers:

• Complete instruction in gentle restorative poses
• Balanced sequences of Restorative Yoga
• Yoga practices for stress management, relaxation, and rejuvenation
• Gentle poses that enhance the breathing capacity
• Simple poses for everyday practice
• Healing aspects of Restorative Yoga

Since the poses are supported by props, they can be held effortlessly for an extended period of time. This results in a state of deep relaxation.In this state of deep relaxation, the innate intelligence of the body returns the entire system to its natural state of balance and ease. When the body is easeful and the mind becomes calm, one can experience the Peace within.
Restorative Yoga practice is also beneficial during times of major life changes, stress, crises, or when recovering from an illness or injury.
