It targets the deep, dense connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and cartilage and activates the movement of prana through the core of the body. This class invites you to connect with and open your body in new and unexpected ways. It is a wonderful opening experience into self discovery and awareness.
RESTORATIVE YOGA & SOUND BATH
A practice to heal and nourish your body, mind, and spirit. Through restorative yoga, meditation, breathwork, and sound healing practices you are transported to a place of serenity and peace. Your brain will move into the deeper brainwave frequencies that will help induce meditative and peaceful states to allow for clarity of mind and relaxation.
Restorative yoga is designed to restore, relax and rejuvenate the body. By using bolsters, blankets, and other props, the body is able to be totally supported as it holds poses for a longer period of time which then promotes a deep state of relaxation. A sound bath is a deeply immersive, full body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite gentle, yet powerful therapeutic and restorative processes to nurture your mind and body.
No prior experience is needed. Please wear comfortable clothing. Props available at studio or BYO (ex: your own bolster or pillow case to cover studio bolster).
