Life’s frenetic pace often leaves us feeling depleted. Enter Restorative Yoga – a practice designed to heal and rejuvenate your body and mind. Join us as we explore this soothing, healing style of yoga.

“Stillness, is not the absence of movement or sound. It’s not about focusing on nothingness; it’s about creating a physical and emotional clearing to allow ourselves to feel, think, dream and question.” 
– Brené Brown

Restorative Yoga – A Practice of Renewal 

Restorative Yoga is all about comfort and relaxation. Using props like blankets, bolsters, and blocks, poses are fully supported, allowing the body to completely surrender into each asana. The postures are held for extended periods, encouraging a deep state of relaxation.

The Restorative Yoga Experience

A typical Restorative Yoga class moves at a slow, meditative pace. Fewer poses are performed, often only 5-6 in an hour-long class. These poses, while simple, are designed to promote total relaxation, easing tension in the muscles and calming the nervous system.

The Benefits of Restorative Yoga

  1. Deep relaxation and stress relief: The supported postures and controlled breathing techniques induce a state of deep relaxation, helping to alleviate stress and anxiety.
  2. Improved sleep: The calming effect of Restorative Yoga on the nervous system can promote better sleep, helping combat insomnia and fatigue.
  3. Enhanced flexibility: While not the primary goal, the gentle stretching can gradually enhance flexibility.
  4. Restored balance: By activating the body’s relaxation response, Restorative Yoga helps restore balance to the body and mind, promoting overall wellness.

  1. I have a (senior citizen) friend who would do very well in your Restorative Yoga class. I’m having trouble locating these classes in your schedule.

    Can you please tell me when these classes are put on?

    Thank you.
