Restorative Yoga Workshop

Join Meg for a blissful 2 hours of Restorative Yoga.

Restorative yoga is a completely different experience than most other styles of yoga. Restorative yoga is a restful practice that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching. If you take a restorative class, you may hardly move at all, doing just a few postures over the course of the session.

It is a practice of deep relaxation that emphasizes the meditative aspect of yoga—the union of body and mind. Through the use of props for support, many of the postures are held almost effortlessly.

The benefits of restorative include:

- Increased relaxation: Deep breathing calms the nervous system to promote relaxation

- Better sleep: The more relaxed you are, the better your chances are of getting a good night's rest.

- Improved well-being: Yoga practices, in general, are commonly associated with improved physical and mental well-being in the general population.

- Better mood: Research shows that yoga can help those with stress, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders manage their symptoms

-Reduced pain: Studies show that different styles of yoga including restorative yoga are helpful interventions for the management of musculoskeletal pain

-Gentle on the body: Restorative yoga practices are gentle on the joints, and consistent practice can strengthen the connective tissues that surround the bones and joints

We'll start with a relaxing warm cup of calming herbal tea, settle into our first supported pose and melt into the deep rest your body is craving. You'll be floating out the door before you know it
