Our bodies have an innate ability to relax given the right circumstances. Restorative yoga uses a series of easy, supported poses held for a long time under the right conditions (including the use of many props) to tip the balance from “fight or flight” mode into maximal relaxation. Yogis developed these poses over many years, but science tells us that, under the conditions set in restorative yoga, immediate effects on heart rate, blood pressure and brain activity are possible. Emphasis on complete muscular relaxation and comfort are emphasized to achieve a quiet state of mind and body. The classes are in the style of Relax & Renew author, Judith Lasater.
At least 3 months of prior yoga experience required. We will use your own body weight, the Yoga Wall, and other yoga props to improve strength in your core + upper and lower body.

Enjoy an hour of restorative yoga followed by guided relaxation in what is known as “yogic sleep.” Nidra brings us to a state of deep relaxation, where our senses, intellect, and mind can completely let go and rest. One hour of this yogic sleep is said to give the same benefit as four hours of sleep. Nidra helps decrease fatigue, rejuvenate the brain, reduce stress, increase concentration, and improve memory. Experience a spiritual awakening while enhancing overall energy.
