Yoga Workshops

We are all just too busy, too occupied, too distracted, too over-scheduled. We try so many strategies: new calendars, to-do lists, New Year’s resolutions, and endless promises to ourselves to simply do less. But we don’t. One way, however, to manage our stress and exhaustion is to practice one Restorative yoga pose every day. This simple practice has proven benefits, chief among them reducing all the indicators of stress in the body. This includes lowering blood pressure, improving immune function, positively effecting fertility, and reducing, and sometimes even alleviating, tension headaches. Letting go deeply for 20 minutes, especially in the afternoon when sleepiness and dullness overtakes the mind, is surprisingly rejuvenating and can improve mood and creativity. Many workplaces are now incorporating “nap spaces” as they find it improves productivity. Additionally, regular practitioners of a relaxation report a generalized feeling of less reactivity to stressful situations at work and at home, and a gradually increasing background calmness in their lives in general.

Join us in this two-hour Restorative class to recognize and soak in the silence and stillness that is always there inside us. This practice is anything but a waste of time. It feeds the soul and nourishes our life.
