Restorative Yoga & Meditation Workshop
Restorative Yoga is a gentle, meditative practice that uses supported asanas and slow deep breathing to revitalize and restore energy by modifying traditional yoga postures with various props to support the body in deeply comfortable and relaxing ways. Appropriate for students of all ages, sizes and experience, and beneficial for those needing a more gentle approach to yoga, students healing from injury, and anyone looking to soften the body or balance an active Yoga practice. Meditation is a simple tool for calming and de-stressing body and mind. Taking a few minutes to meditate each day, we can feel the current of oneness that connects us to nature. In this state we discover that we are more than our thoughts and restless body; we are the light that shines through all things. Focusing on the natural mantra of breath, we come into the present moment and the edge of unlimited possibilities.
