Restorative Yoga Class

Restorative yoga is a gentle, calming, therapeutic type of yoga that uses props to support the body (blankets, bolsters and chairs) to deepen the benefits of the poses.

Judith Hanson Lasater, author of Relax and Renew, Restful Yoga for Stressful Times, refers to restorative yoga poses as “active relaxation”.

By supporting the body with props, we alternately stimulate and relax the body to move toward balance." She states that the poses create specific physiological responses which are beneficial to health and help reduce the effects of stress-related diseases.

Whether you are seeking respite from a busy life or recovering from illness or injury, restorative yoga offers you the opportunity to consciously relax both your body and mind, alleviate stress, and restore your health and inner harmony.

It is a true gift you give yourself!
