About this event

This is a gentle restorative yoga class for individuals affected by cancer. It is beautifully soul enriching and invites an opportunity for you to receive respite, relaxation, and nurturing renewal.

You do not have to have previous experience in yoga to participate in this class. Restorative yin simply offers you the opportunity to surrender by allowing the earth and props to be the support you need.

Restorative Yoga is a type of yoga that are designed to calm the fight-flight system and activate a relaxation response. Poses are supported with a variety of props and participants are asked to “melt” into a posture for up to three - five minutes. Research shows that by participating in this type of class on weekly basis, one can bring balance to the nervous system, decrease stress, and reduce anxiety related energy.

Organized by

The Rooted Self offers preventative integrative experiential yoga based healing alongside stress reduction, self care respite, and spiritual nourishment to individuals moving through or beyond challenging life or health situations. This desire is based on the belief that we inherently have what we need within to encourage, support, facilitate, and sustain our life’s journey no matter how difficult the path.

The intention at The Rooted Self is to empower individuals towards manifesting a healing journey that is life-affirming and aligns with their present moment as it exists. It is important to know that “healing” at The Rooted Self is defined as finding balance in an imbalanced state and is achieved when ease returns to the relationship between mind, body, and spirit. This process beautifully manifests safely on the mat and extends beyond the mind into the nook of the soul.

The offerings at The Rooted Self are deeply rooted in spirit essence and experientially guide individuals in restoring an empowering compassionate relationship between their mind, body and spirit. A relationship that will intentionally support and facilitate deeper layers of healing, self expansion, inner trust, and intuitive knowing.

With the ancient wisdom and practices of yoga you will compassionately and physically reintroduce yourself to the body as it exists in its present moment. Through the beautiful practice of breath and energy work you will remove blocks that prevent a state of balance and connection to body conscious wisdom. Through the art of manifestation and intentional living, you will invite a mindset and emotional landscape that empowers you to manifest your intended outcome. In meditation you will reconnect with and nurture your inner wisdom, knowledge, and soul.

On this experiential journey you may re-discover parts of self that were previously inaccessible. These parts may have been “fragmented”, unrecognizable, or maybe even lost beneath your experience for a short while. The journey is not expected to be perfect, in fact, it will crumble and be re-built a few times, but it will be authentically yours. With a compassionate kindness you will be empowered to re-introduce yourself and honor the new wisdom that comes forth in your awakening.
