WHY RESTORATIVE YOGA?

Stress disorders, including insomnia, anxiety and depression, are the most common mental illness in the US, affecting 40 million adults18 and older (18% of US population.)

Restorative Yoga provides deep physical and subtle emotional support, so it is the perfect antidote for anyone who is overly busy, stressed, exhausted, depleted or feeling disconnected from themselves. This is designed to refine your teaching, or as a way to deepen your own personal experience. Learn the scientific and somatic language of the body and apply this knowledge through practical experience.

We will work with three key elements: Technique, Sequence & Timing.

Technique – precision of body alignment & prop use
Sequence – specific sequencing and combination of poses and techniques
Timing– time spent in each pose or pranayama
