Restorative Yoga

Check the calendar for scheduled sessions

Restorative yoga is often referred to as “active relaxation”. By supporting the body with props the body is alternately stimulated and relaxed and a move toward balance is facilitated. In general, restorative yoga is for those times when you feel weak, fatigued, or stressed from your daily activities. It is especially beneficial for the time before, during, and after major life events; death of a loved one, change of job or residence, marriage, divorce, major holidays, and vacations. In addition, you can practice the poses when ill, or recovering from illness or injury.

Restorative yoga helps relieve the effects of chronic stress by:

• Allowing for total relaxation
• Moving the spine in all directions
• Incorporating inversions which change the relationship of the legs to gravity, returning fluids to the upper body and enhancing heart function
• Alternately stimulating and soothing the organs
