Restorative Yoga for Stress Relief

Restorative Yoga allows your body and mind to find deep relaxation and restoration through gentle Yoga postures that are held for 3 to 8 minutes at a time. Postures are held with the aid of props without any strain on the body. Restorative Yoga helps to soothe the nervous system, correct poor posture, relieve tension of deeper muscles that may not be targeted in a more active Yoga class.

In this class, we will start with some gentle movements to better prepare your body for the restorative poses to come. During the restorative poses, you are invited to explore the different layers of your inner being in a deeply relaxed state. We end the class with a short guided iRest Yoga Nidra Meditation. This class is open to all levels and no previous experience is necessary.
