Restorative Yoga and meditation 10 week block of classes

General Iyengar Yoga class some experience needed. 10 week block of classes

Restorative Yoga is to Yoga what the slow food movement is to food! This is a deep restful style of Yoga that can at first seem a bit intimidating to busy people who find it hard to slow down but can be the most nourishing practice you can introduce into your self-care routine.

Restorative Yoga is done using equipment like blankets, yoga bolsters and blocks that support you in positions that encourage deep rest and good breathing. The grounding; complete, full breathing; and quietness of restorative yoga help us to move into the relaxation response, a neurological state that tells us we are safe, and moves us out of “flight or fight” mode, initiating the body’s self-healing process.

It’s a very safe form of Yoga that can be practiced while in recovery from injuries, cancer and a number of chronic health conditions. It is also the perfect counterpoint to gym routines, marathon training, and high intensity sports.

Benefits
