What to expect from this workshop:
2 hours of a deeply soothing & inward form of restorative yoga which integrates relaxing poses and some easy meditation to relax the body and mind. The body is placed in gentle postures that are supported with cosy prop alternatives found at home while the mind is invited to slow down. Physical tension and energetic knots soften with each pose.
Gentle verbal guidance for breath and mindfulness deepen the relaxation response. Poses include light twists, seated forward folds, and gentle backbends. All postures are enjoyed on the floor.
Deep Ecology poetry and song will be woven into each session as will teachings on the human nervous system.
This class is open to all genders and physical abilities.
No previous experience with yoga is necessary. It's basically guided mindful napping, y'all.
