Gently invite the body back into its natural alignment while encouraging a release of deep-rooted muscular tension, stress, and tightness.
Your body will be fully supported using props including bolsters, blankets, straps, and blocks to experience a deeper state of relaxation to replenish the body’s energy while leaving you feeling nourished and calm. This class offers a combination of classic restorative yoga postures followed by 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra (also known as yogic sleep or deep relaxation). Nidra will offer deep relaxation for your entire body, mind, and emotions; while helping to dissolve old patterns and remove obstacles. Restorative Yoga + Nidra will complement an active practice or help you to decompress after a stressful day.
Bring a blanket and an eye pillow. Dress warmly as your body temperature goes down in deep relaxation.
