Restorative Yoga Workshops
Open to all levels who need a very chill yoga experience, mostly floor postures.
Enjoy an evening of gentle, restorative yin yoga - combining supported posture, breath and guided meditation - with an extended savasana (relaxation and meditation) finale. Learn postures and techniques to reduce stress and recharge - with a format of slow sequence long-hold supported floor postures designed for your body to release tension and to deeply relax. When you slow your yoga practice down it becomes a practice of exploring what your body needs and how your body feels - meeting it’s walls and hopefully breaking them down. This class will mindfully guide you into stillness and will leave you feeling rejuvenated and balanced.

Important Note: Must be able to be on floor much of the time. Mats and props will be available in limited supply. You are encouraged to bring along your own yoga mat, light blanket, pillow and water.

Chair Yoga
For those with limited mobility and range of motion OR those healing from injury or living with chronic pain.

Chair Yoga is a gentle form of Yoga where the participant can either sit or stand and use the chair as support for those less active or mobile. This movement and mindful activity can help relieve pain in commons areas (hips, low back and shoulders) and improve circulation and flexibility to muscles and joints while promoting relaxation - with seated and some standing postures and beneficial breathing techniques. Improve your range of motion and general well being for your whole self - body, mind and spirit - all from the seat or use of chair for support and stability.

Notes for Class: Yoga mats are available in class or you can bring your own. Wear comfortable, stretchy clothes and shoes are removed for class.
